Fun Weekend!!

We had a fun-filled weekend accompanied by wonderful weather, which was great because Mike was in MN this weekend hanging with his buddy doing some upgrades to his buddy's house, so were able to keep really busy. Saturday we started off with a Fancy Nancy party at the library. Stella loves the Fancy Nancy books and was so excited to pick out her fancy outfit and all her accessories! It was really cute to see her get all "fancy." The library did a great job with the event, they started off by having a pink carpet down for the children to walk on. Learning to curtsy.
Mrs. Kelly (Stella's most favorite children's librarian) was the host of the event. She's on the left. And there was a special guest there also, Mrs. DeVine, who is Fancy Nancy's neighbor in the books. Mrs. DeVine did such a good job and the kids just loved her!

There were a few crafts/activities to do after the book readings. Stella worked really hard on her fancy bookmark.
So did Porter! He was a good sport, this really wasn't his cup of tea, but with Mike gone he had to come with us. He did enjoy the arts and crafts. :)
After we left the library we headed to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. I offered to take Stella home so she could change her clothes, but she wanted to wear her fancy clothes!
Of course they had to ride the train, waiting to pay for their tickets.
They always love to ride in the front car so they can ring the bell. :)
Today was Porter's first flag football practice. He was SO excited. I don't think he stopped smiling the entire time we were there!! His buddy Eric was on his team, Berlin wanted to get in the photo! Stella was still at Haydn's bday party. We had to leave a little early so Porter could make his practice. Luckily Sara lives 5 minutes from the practice fields. I wish I had pics from Haydn's party. She looked super cute and had a really fun party!

Working up a thirst

I ended up changing him into his shorts half way through the practice b/c it was so hot out, hence why he is wearing different pants!

Love the Fancy Nancy photos!! What a great idea for the library! I think that S might need to work on her curtsy b/4 meeting the Queen! Know P had a great time at his first fb practice!! Hated missing it - but wanted to be at Haydn't b/d party too. We'll catch a practice or his big game! He looks like he's having a ball running around!

the fancy nancy party looks like a blast! The train rides at the mall are a big hit here too! I can't wait to see Porter in action on the football field!
