Superheroes

Saturday we went to McPherson to celebrate Bo's 4th birthday. Alana outdid herself with a superhero themed birthday party, complete with costumes for everyone. Truman was Buzz Lightyear and Amelia was Super Girl. Neither of them wanted to take off their costumes, so they came home with us and we are ready for Halloween! It was a beautiful day with friends and family.

Hiatus

Sorry for the gap in posting. It has been an average 10 days or so. Work, time at home with the family, playing outside in the spring weather, huddling inside with coffee when winter weather returned. Monday was a beautiful day, about 70 degrees. Monday night around midnight we got every kind of precipitation all at the same time, with lots of wind. Rain, hail, sleet, ice and snow plus thunder and lightening. Yesterday was in the 30s and windy. Today we are back to 70. I am ready for summer and 100 degrees.

I got the kids a bubble machine.

Another Nice Saturday.

This was a fairly busy week. Monday I had an open house at the arts center, Tuesday was the KU/KSU Honor Banquet at the school, Thursday was an arts center board meeting.

Last night (Friday) mom came over for supper and to watch The Hunger Games. Dad is in California until Wednesday for a couple of speaking engagements and to see Aunt Anne. Mom and I had a nice time talking, watching the movie, and drinking too many gin and tonics. It was after midnight when she went home.

This morning mom and I went over to Haviland for an auction. We started off with getting coffee at Origins then went to scope out the auction. We didn't find anything that we wanted to hang around for, so we left and spent money instead at Thompson Greenhouse and Haviland Hardware and Grocery.

Today was another pretty nice day, weather wise. When mom and I got home from Haviland, Travis was getting the kids ready to go have a picnic and play at Davis Park. We went to Dillons for some chicken and other picnic stuff and had a nice lunch and play time at the park.

 After we left the park we drove around the lake. We came across a flock of yellow headed black birds. We stopped to watch them.

 When we got home, Ray was there to pick up Travis to go out to their house. I got the kids down for a nap and they went out to cut down cedar trees. After the kids woke up, we headed out there. We got out there and found Ray and Travis assembling a jungle gym to play on.

It was windy, can you tell by her hair?
