Lately

This is me, and why I haven't been blogging much .....

(I consider the 'children' my own two AND the 25 I teach) 

So though our routine has changed considerably and there have been some bumps along the way;  and while I often times feel completely flustered and overwhelmed (and many times embarrassed that my hair hasn't been washed in 4 days because I haven't wanted to take the time to wash it), the girls have been enjoying their full days that are packed with fun.

Creating art at Kindergarten:

Playing on the playground:

Playing with friends during their after-school care:

They've also been spending a lot of quality time with their dad:

And creating habitats for their animals and dinosaurs in our backyard:

We've even had some fun family weekend fun in downtown Minneapolis.

Getting balloons from the balloon clown:

Looking out the overlook window at the Farmer's Market and the Mississippi River:

Checking out the Stone Arch Bridge:

Biking over the Stone Arch Bridge:

It's been BUSY in many not-so-fun ways, but also busy in many SUPER fun ways -- and even though I truly think I slept more when Ella and Zoe were babies and getting up every four hours during the night (I at least had the chance to catch a nap when the girls were napping during the day), this Kindergartener .....

.... and this Kindergartener ......

..... are doing great!!
