Back to School

This is Belen's first day of second grade and a few days later Oscar had his first day of (all day) Kindergarten.

In line for the bus.

Coen and I walked back from the bus stop and I felt like "what now?" It is pretty laid back when it is just us.  It has been fun getting some alone time with him.

Oscar coming off the bus. One day I got the report he sat at the back with the 8th graders... we quickly made a first 4 row guide :)  yikes.

This is Oscar at 5pm after the second day.

The Mall of American had a Beatles exhibit complete with a set of Ringo's drums that you could play.

We had a park hopper day where we went to some local parks that we have never been to.  Minneapolis has so many parks- it's great.

Our Annual trip to the Renaissance Festival. Oscar didn't want to dress up this year, so Coen was the little pirate.

New attractions in Fairy Hollow.

Coen got to join in a few rides.

Coen loved the petting zoo, especially the bulldog.

We have been feeding this stray the kids named Scarlet, we realized she was pregnant a month ago. A coworker offered to take her and foster her babies. She delivered in a box and had 4 kittens... the kids love them.

Here's what Coen and I have been up to:

Grandma and Grandpa stopped by on their way home from Mackinac Island.

Movie Night

Garrett hard at work.

We went to an open house at school and this is Oscar's self portrait hanging on the wall :)

All of us went to see Busytown the Musical. Even Coen loved all the wacky cars.

Belen had started sing and dance classes again and Coen and I are doing a toddler music class. We are definitely keeping busy.
