Lake Martha Days Fun

Last Friday through Sunday was Lake Martha Days in Osseo. Most of our weekend was spent enjoying the activities. The kids rode rides Friday night for three hours and Saturday during the day for three hours. They had a a blast!

Brody, Brenna and Aunt Jessie on the apple ride. Brody make Jessie promise him numerous times that she would NOT make the apple spin.

Brenna and Brody went down the big slide many times. The motorcyles and cars were also a favorite. The carousel was a hit. Especially when I let them go on alone.
Walking with Aunt Jessie. Brody got a new haircut on Friday. He wanted it cut so he could spike it. He's been spiking it ever since.

Two of a kind... enjoying one of the many lefse busses that were eaten over the weekend.

Sunday was the Lake Martha Day's parade. A carpenter that Steve works with asked if Brody and Brenna wanted to ride with him and his wife and throw candy. Brenna opted to watch the parade but Brody wanted to be in the parade. Brody's face lit up when he looked and saw his family. It was very sweet to see how proud and excited he was.
Cousin Heather and Abbi. Brenna stayed by Aunt Jessie's side during the parade. She collected a lot of candy! Friend Jaxon, Uncle Jimmy, Jeremy, and Eldie also watched the parade.Wayne, Shane, Alex, Jennie, and Angie waiting for the parade to start. Great Grandma De-De, Grandma Merri, Colleen, Sarah and Avery also watched the parade with us.

Brody making Spot wave. :)

Nothing else new or exciting from last week. Brenna and Brody finished up their week of intro to 4k last week and seemed to like it. The teacher said that if one gets sad, the other one tends to get sad too. I told Brenna and Brody that if one of them gets sad, they need to help each out and try to make the sad one happy. The next day when I picked them up. Brody said, "Brenna was sad but I just gave her a hug and said, "Don't worry be happy." "Then Brenna was happy."

Very sweet.

Brody started a habit of chewing on his shirt a few weeks ago and Brenna began chewing on her hair. I will never again wish one bad habit away because it just gets replaced with one that is worse. I thought nail biting was bad but I will take that over shirt and hair chewing! This week it has been much better so I'm hoping it was a short lived bad habit!

And to end with a cute story....

Brody and Brenna were playing doctor the other night. Here's the dialogue that made me smile. Brody was the doctor.

Brenna: Listen to my baby's heart.

Brody: It's beating 110 Miles per hour.

Brenna: What does that mean?

Brody: She needs to go to the emergency room.

They played doctor for about 1/2 hour together. It was very fun listening to their dialogue as they played. I was also impressed that they played alone for at least 30 minutes. I guess that means they are growing up.
