Our week with Mimi

Ready for the Olympics or at least the open gymnastics


Finn was able to meet the Basswood Bulldog, Buster.  That was the highlight of the school carnival for Finn

Spring snow.  ICK....
We enjoyed our week with Mimi here to visit.  Although Luke, Liam, and Aiden still had school this week and the weather was not exactly springy, we managed to find several fun things to do.  We enjoyed several fun lunches with friends at a few new restaurants that I haven't ever tried.  We also went to a open gymnastics with Finn and Aiden to burn some energy on one of the cold and windy days.  Luke and Liam's elementary school had their annual carnival on Friday night and we went to that with Mimi.  It was crazy as usual, but the boys loved it.  The highlight for Finn was getting to meet the big bulldog, Buster.  Over the weekend, the big boys were able to go bowling with Mimi while Finn napped.  It was super fun for her and something we have not done in awhile so the boys really enjoyed it.

I am certain that Mimi watched more hockey this week than she has ever seen in her life!  Not only did she mention that, but we had two games for Aiden and 3 practices for Luke and Liam.  We skipped a few of these, but she still was able to see her fare share of hockey for the boys.

We greatly appreciated all of Mimi's help this week with our nightly reading homework, baths, cleaning dishes, meal prep, as well as her playing the countless games of War, Go Fish, UNO, checkers, and whatever else the boys came up with!  Thank you Mimi, we look forward to seeing you again soon!
