Still carpe-dieming it. This week was busy getting loan stuff and things moving to buy the house. I took the kids to have lunch with Oma one afternoon. Friday we had a birthday party at my parent's home, and it was so great because Jared was visiting from Chicago. I seriously love my family.
Saturday morning, we left early for a home show at the expo center. My daughter completely warmed my heart in the morning by choosing to eat oatmeal instead of captain crunch. Woah! My son is the opposite. At the expo show, he was a sugar-master, going up to each booth and sweetly asking for a piece of candy, and then either stuffing it in his mouth or in a bag, like he was trick-or-treating. Working the system.
We then headed to my Aunt and Uncles for a barbecue and then to the Tulip Festival for Dutch days. It was so fun to hang out with the Dodenbiers and enjoy the beautiful flowers. My Oma brought a little Dutch dress, and Bekah dressed up like a dress girl. She even won a box of cookies in a Dutch dressup contest.
After that, we stopped at IKEA to have dinner, put the kids in the playland, and look at some of the stuff. Then we stopped at Grandma Bassett's to visit her another hour. Then Rob and I snuggled at home to watch NCIS before bed.
Best of all, thanks to free tickets (thanks Aunt Wendy) & sales, the whole day cost us $10. Doesn't get better than that, does it?

Yeah--I found your blog! :) SO fun, sorry we missed the rest of the fun, our "trip to Lagoon" ended up with me sleeping for 4 hours instead. Oh well, guess I was tired! Can't wait to see your new house! :) And Bekah was super cute as a Dutch girl!
