We hosted a wonderful, activity-filled May Day party here at the house on Friday. There were 6 adults and nine kids here making baskets, decorating cookies and playing on the swing set. After the festivities ended we packed the car and headed back down to the cities for another tennis tournament. The boys did great in the car and when we arrived I treated them to pancakes and eggs for supper(a favorite in this house!).
Saturday morning we(the boys and I)went to Lake of the Isles to spend the morning playing at the parks and walking. Then onto Orno for lunch with a long time friend Amanda and to spend some time at her new house. It was gorgious outisde so we went to a nearby park for over 2 hours(they had 2 excavators-need I say more!). We swung by the tennis match to check in with Dan before heading back to the hotel for supper. Later that night, after Dan arrived, he was walking the boys downstairs when Connor pulled the fire alarm!! Dan ran to the front desk to tell them it was a mistake but sure enough, cops cars and fire trucks came rolling in the parking lot. Amidst all the excitement, we still felt it necessary to sternly lecture Connor about fire alarms, and hope he never touches one again
Sunday the boys and I headed back to Duluth around 10:30, another perfect trip with both sleeping the whole way, and were able to enjoy the weather with a nice walk to play at the park.
This weekend marked the end of the tennis season for UMD. I think they had a pretty good year and Dan enjoyed coaching again.
When discussing Liam's accidental injuries during a recent appointment, our pediatrician jokingly said to us, "it's amazing second children survive." I never understood this phrase until we had our second. Liam has had more freak accidents and close calls than Connor has had in his whole life.
After our walk this past Sunday, I had parked the stroller at the front door to unload our stuff. Liam tried to get out on his own but ended up face first on the concrete. True to form, after a mintue or two of crying he was back outside playing in the sunshine with Connor. Gosh, that kids a trooper!!
Right after the accident...

we are laughing at this one....i think it beats Dillon's call to 911 while screaming bloody murder because I wouldn't put his coat on. They called my house twice thinking there was an emergency but I hung up on them 2 times because I didn't hear them saying Hello over Dillon's screaming. But you have cops and firefighters, etc involved. Nice!
Wow, nice digger Liam! What's going to happen to this third child. Wait, I bet you'll forget him/her somewhere:-)
Liam's just getting ready for hockey. Think about how tough he'll be!
