Matilda Jr at Stages and Mother's Day

Parker has been doing a lot of "crafts" lately.  He has been making cards with letters and words on them. They seem to give him comfort during times of anxiety.  He made these "hot" and "cold" ones this week and turned the water to corresponding temperature.
Since Esme will be performing in Matilda Jr soon, we decided to check out the pros at Stages Theatre in Hopkins this week.
We grabbed a pre-show snack the the grocery store across the street.
Esme loved it and loved singing along with all the songs.
We had a month long membership to Playground Plaza and took great advantage of it with the rainy weather we've been having.  We even had a couple visits where we were all alone.  Esme preferred to have someone else to play with.  She did get to try out an old school arcade version of Mario Brothers.  There was a decent learning curve on the controls, but she started getting the hang of it.
We moved around some things on our counter recently and I was looking for a better way to organize our electronic assistants.  I drew up this little diagram for my dad and he delivered a beautiful and functional stand to stack them on the tiny counter next to our range.
We will be starting another major house project soon so there will be many trips to Parker's favorite store, Menards.  The kids have been spending lots of time in the pool, not missing a day yet!
It finally creeped up to 70 degrees on Mother's Day, so I joined them for a swim.
Jimmy grilled some corn and steak for me along with some brownies for dessert.  It was the perfect low key day.
