I’m not quite sure how it started, but Kaitlyn and I have a definite goodnight routine. The second before I close her bedroom door I blow her a kiss, and she then blows me one too. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day.

Teague turns 6 today! We started the day with his favorite coffee cake and then sent him to school with goodies. He came home to find his much-wanted pedal car in the driveway. He rode until Alex got home and we went for a walk around the lake. Dinner was a little crazy since we had all been planning on Sushi and then we realized they are closed on Tuesday. We made a quick switch and then came home for brownies and presents!

Today we celebrated both boys’ birthdays with friends. We had a combined party at a local bowling alley. Thankfully my sister was in town and is much more creative than I am. She helped me with decorations, goody bags, and keeping everyone organized! We had about 20 kids and thankfully quite a few parents stayed to help. I definitely underestimated the amount of parent involvement needed to keep everyone in the right lane and bowling at the right time. The kids all seemed to have fun and I was so happy when we were done and I could finally relax! (The goody bags for the big kids were pretty special. Alex used his 3D printer to create a bowling trophy for each boy.)

We got everybody to church and then played the day away. Having cousins visit makes the days fly by.

Melissa, Harper, and Mackenzie drove up for the weekend. The kids are excited! We’ve had a day full of birthday errands, birthday parties, treehouse playing, afternoon custard, and Aunt Lissy snuggles.

Today was glorious! It was in the 60s with a blue sky. The big kids were off school so Mary and I decided to take our oldest and youngest for a picnic lunch at the park. They ran and played and really wanted to test the ice on the lake. Afterwards we headed to school to pick up the middle boys. They had pajama day today so we played in their pajamas before calling it a day.

Teague’s kindergarten class had a wedding today. Q and U got married. The boys were requested to dress like quarterbacks. The girls were requested to dress like queens. Parents were invited and cake was served afterwards. What a wonderful event to make sure the kids know Q and U always go together!

We had some of our Milwaukee friends over for the afternoon. The kids played, dressed up, ran around outside, gobbled up dinner, and finally settled down with some electronics. It was an awesome play date.
