Eau Claire officially has everything we need now that Mr. Kitty’s Cat Cafe just opened (and we can walk there!). Clearly we went on opening day, because you have to. The cats seemed a bit uninterested in us (probably because they all of a sudden had so many visitors!), but it was a lot of fun. We found friends who were interested in lots of pets and snuggles so we left away happy.
Now hopefully it’s not too long before we can make it back!
It’s been a bit. Sorry about that. Pre-spring break preparations, then spring break busy-ness, and now post-spring break catch-up mode.
I’ll try to do better…but no promises! In the meantime, look at this fun piece of artwork at the library’s newest exhibit. Beautiful, right? Can you tell I’m a bit excited about spring officially making its appearance?
The boys spent last night learning how to decorate cakes with their 4-H club. Fun, right? Also, very messy. But mostly fun.
Yeah, I don’t mind a lazy Sunday. Not at all.
Robbe killed it at today’s piano competition. He worked SO hard over the last few weeks and it totally paid off. He even made it to the next level!
We’re so proud of this little dude for all the effort he put in.
After a walk to the library, Chase and I spent some time reading with the bun. He tries to eat the books more than an ideal reading friend would but he’s got other redeeming qualities.
Birthday round 3/4 wrapped up today with Robbe’s Dungeons & Dragons-themed birthday party. He had the best time ever—just so happy and enthusiastic. Even Chase was a good sport as Dungeon Master and assistant party-planner.
And now we have at least a short birthday break. A welcomed break, no doubt about that (although the beginning of April is feeling awful close at the moment).
Robbe did AMAZING at tonight’s piano recital. He picked a tough song that he’s been working on for months and he crushed it. So proud of this guy
That’s right…our *little* guy is now ten. Things are getting serious over here.
We had a really lovely day celebrating all of his favorite things: video games, shopping, D&D, ice cream cake, soup (he loves soup!), and a Marvel movie. Pretty fantastic, right?
I just love him so much.
We’re kicking off the birthday weekend the best way we know how…with a trip to the arcade. It’s not my favorite, but I’m not the one celebrating a 10th (!!) birthday.
Another swim meet and another happy swimmer. It sure has been fun seeing Chase take on a new challenge this winter. He won’t be sad when the four day/week practices are done, but I’m hopeful he’ll be up for giving it another try in the future.
When the temperature shifts 50 degrees in 24 hours, you appreciate the little things—like the sunshine hitting my beautiful new plants.
Thank goodness the super cold is supposed to be short-lived.
Robbe’s team won the championship game tonight to end his second season of basketball. So much excitement and fun. He even had a special fan from Cape Cod to help cheer him on. Whoop whoop!
When the school is holding an ice cream fundraiser, what choice do you have, really?
After several days of birthday celebrations and more laughter than is safely advised (I’m assuming), sometimes you need a bit of a break to soak it all in.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to help me celebrate my birthday. It means more than I can say. It was a really great day.
Can you imagine a better way to kick off a week of birthday celebrations than a Broadway musical right down the street? I can’t!
I’ve been waiting for this one. Eek!!
The bun has a new favorite chair.
We 3D-printed these “armies of rabbits” today and, I have to admit, they’re pretty awesome. So many rabbits and some pretty epic catapult situations.
Chase had his first ever swim meet today! He’s new to competitive swimming but he’s been learning a lot and is enjoying being part of the team. It’s been very sweet to watch. Today was his first official time in the lanes and he did great!
