Eddie Spaghetti

Eddie loved his spaghetti for dinner tonight. Lived up to his name!

We were out running some errands this morning. Then home for lunch and playtime. Uncle Ted stopped by on his way through, heading home from Door County. Was nice to see him! The kids took advantage of his fun Papa abilities. 

 

As you can see, Rowan wasn't about taking a normal picture. She is the reason I have gray hairs at 30!

Pink Pigs, goats and sheep

We took a trip to Mukwonago today to celebrate Quinn's 1st Birthday! Andi was nice enough to host and prepare the party for Casey and Jake. They all did a great job. Poor Quinn was a bit sleepy and crabby at times, but over all, she enjoyed her little party I think.

The kids (and adults too) had fun playing together. Lots of new toys for my kids to enjoy, and other kids that we just don't get to see enough of.

The kids made 'pigs in a blanket' for their lunch and got to color pigs too.

Miss Quinn got lots of great gifts, clothes, toys, fun fun fun.

She wasn't too into her cake, but the rest of the kids did a fine job helping her eat it. The big kids played pin the tail on the pig, and got fun little gift bags to go as well.

After the party, we headed to 'the shop' with Aaron and the boys to see their goats and sheep. Each of the boys has their own goat and Ainsley has a sheep. Breyson does really well with them. Rowan was a little out of her element, but had fun in the pen too. Eddie was afraid, surprising? Nope. Rowan got to take a ride in the field on the 4-wheeler with the boys and Aaron too.

After this day full of fun, we were on our way home. It is always so nice to see everyone, wish it were longer. But whenever Casey and Jake are home, it is go go go for them. Too many people to see and things to do.

Grandma and Grandpa Bremberger

We took a last minute trip to visit Grandma Pam and Grandpa Bill today. They were at our house with Cadi on Tuesday to watch Rowan and Eddie for us, and were both on vacation today, so the kids and I decided to pay them a visit. This is Rowan's last week before starting school on Monday, so we hit the highway. We played outside a lot, had a picnic lunch outside, Great Grandma Elaine and Great Grandpa Ron stopped by to visit, and we played some more before heading home for dinner.

The New Zoo

The zoo in Green Bay was a whole new experience this visit. Rowan and Eddie were both afraid of the Giraffes, so Mom got to feed them. Eddie was also afraid of every concrete statue of an animal as well as the goats. But Rowan was ready to smile next to each and every concrete animal in the park. And she fed the goats all by herself. We also got to take a little train trip today too. It was a great day for the zoo, all the kids are back in school pretty much, so it was us and the senior citizens at the zoo today.

Ottoman Fun

So...the kids found a whole new place to play when we dug out the Hungry Hippo game and Squinkies from the Ottoman. Way more fun to empty out the contents and climb inside. Sometimes we play with things inside it too. Rowan just lifts Eddie right in and out.

Labor Day visits

Aunt Amanda came to spend the weekend with us! She came up friday night after work and stayed through Monday. We went shopping on Saturday at the outlet mall. Then she watched the kids for us while we attended a wedding for one of Ed's co-workers in Green Lake. Then Sunday we just hung out and played while Ed golfed with some work guys. I had to work Sunday night, so we had breakfast Monday morning then I was off to bed.

On Friday we met Nana and Papa at Red Robin for lunch last minute. They were on their way through headed to Door County for the weekend. And they stopped on Monday for lunch too while I was sleeping. Never heard a thing. Was a bit jealous that I missed out on Taco Bell!
