The forgotten birthday party


Finally we had her friend birthday party...we are only 7 months behind.
A summer birthday within days of a major holiday makes party planning a challenge, she agreed it might be best to wait for school to start in the fall to have her party, and then mom completely forgot about it.
She asked when we were going to have her party towards the end of November and it seems that time is an equally challenging time since not a weekend was open....finally mid January we set a date, booked the pool and planned her forgotten birthday party. " today was the best birthday party" she said on our way home today! She is beyond patient and so forgiving of her mom, and I agree celebrating 10 and 7 months was pretty fun.

Hotel stay

We stayed overnight in minneapolis. Pedro had an appointment at the University early Monday morning so we came up for the play Sunday afternoon and then headed to the hotel. We were in downtown Minneapolis so the kids enjoyed checking  out the tall buildings and of course swimming.
