last day of kindergarten

 Today the girls graduate from Kindergarten and it will also be the last time they ride there in the trailer since they are much too big for it now.

 While on our ride we decided to join the walking bus for the last few blocks.

 They were so excited about today that they were up at 5:00 this morning talking about the last day.

mothers beautiful day

We had a terrific family day today for mothers day with a home cooked breakfast, a morning in the park, 
an afternoon at the Apple store and some Amazing Thailand for dinner. 

a work in progress

We have been working on a large scale remodel for some time now that started with our kitchen and has since moved to the basement where we hope to make fancy new bedrooms for the girls. It has taken a bit longer than expected but we are getting close to the finished product and the girls have been great helpers.

past the showers straight to the flowers

Today was the final day of Macy's flower show 

It was great!!

easter on the move

Today was a bitter sweet day in Blooming Prairie as we helped great grandma Benson move to Heather  Haus and we had a great Easter celebration at what has always been the Benson Grandparents home.

spring chill

Last week was the end of winter swimming lessons for the girls and tomorrow is the official beginning of Spring. We just wish that would be reflected in the temperature outside. This morning it's 5°F (-15°C) before the 14mph wind. 

And we are so done with this snow!

unknown digital art

The above art was discovered on my phone. I do not know where it came from but I am quite certain that some young ones in our house are responsible for it.
