Social Butterflies

We have had such a busy week in the Blomstrom household.  Todd's Birthday was on Thursday and we had 3 different Birthday celebrations for him - the last one was tonight.  Todd worked late on his special day so this morning we baked him a marble cake.  K & A were more than happy to help me bake and frost the cake!

Thursday we spent the day with Ms. Karen and Emily.  Our day started at the Little Gym and then we had lunch and went on rides at the Mall of America.  Our sweet girls has so much fun together and they actually were able to go on 1 ride (the choo choo train) without us grownups!  Super cute!

Today we met some of my Southdale Medical work friends at the Cliff-Fen park in Burnsville.  First off, the afternoon was gorgeous - temps in the 70's.  Katie and Allie played for 2 hours with Maddie (my friend Katie's 4 year old.)  It was so much fun to see them interacting and playing with friends their age and listening to conversations that they have with their little friends.  They are getting so grown up!

Daily life is going well.  I have 1 week left at Eagan and Edina and then I start my new job in Apple Valley.  I have had some reservations on if I have made the right decision, leaving my fun friends at Southdale Medical.  I have never laughed and had so much fun at work before.  It will be sad to go, but I hope my friendships with my coworkers last a lifetime!  I know that I made the right decision to be closer to my family and my sweet angels!

Well goodnight for now.  K & A used to be so good about going to bed, but the last few weeks they have tested my patience.  They discovered that they can get out of their beds and open their doors on their own.  I stand firm and tell them that they need to stay in their rooms, but the nighttime routine has gotten a bit harder!

Here is a video of their first piano recital.  Grandma shoud be proud!
