Fun With Friends

Over the course of a couple of days, we were able to spend some time with good friends. It was opening hunting this weekend, so the kids and i were on our own. Saturday morning Isaac's friend Ben got to go to Home Depot with Ben's dad to do their Saturday morning project. It was a Thanksgiving napkin holder. While they were gone, Piper and I went for a walk with the other half of Ben's family--sister Carly and his mom Courtney. Walking with a friend is always more fun!


Later in the day, I packed up the kids and we headed to the Cities to see some friends that used to live in Duluth. Myla is Isaac's age and Van is four. They had a sleepover in Myla's room! They watched a movie...


...and after some reminders that it was bedtime, they finally fell asleep.


The next day Myla had a project she had to do for school, so the other kids is one of their own, too. Jodi is an awesome mom--so many things to make a good craft project! They traced their feet to make the body of a turkey and used lots of different things to make feathers.





I left a little before noon to go to baby shower for my sister and her best friend, who is also pregnant. I'm so grateful to Jodi for watching the kids so I could attend the shower. It was fun to see my sister and her friend. While I was gone, Jodi emailed me this picture...


We are so blessed to have such great friends!
