Week in recap.

Busy, busy this last week. From sleepovers with cousins to parades with cousins. Then Lucy took in Mason Jennings for a late night jam and dance. She sure had fun. Maybe it wore her out, cause the last few days she has had croup. Didn't phase her much as she went on her favorite ride last night.

Her favorite ride!

Kind of like the Tooth Fairy....

Ever since her cousins Pascal and Nora were here over Christmas, Lucy has kind of been obsessed with loosing teeth. She always has one "loose".

One night she put a Tooth Fairy box under her pillow. I asked her what was inside. "My tooth daddy." "Ok", I  said, and off to bed we went.

The next morning Lucy checked her Tooth Fairy box. Inside was a note:

Dear Lucy,

The Tooth Fairy is very busy visiting kids who have truly lost their tooth. It usually happens around age 5 or 6. Don't worry, you will get there soon. Kids your age are working on pooping.

You have been doing a great job, so keep it up and I will leave you a special surprise under your bed. Keep pooping in the potty though and do not put the poop under your pillow.

Love,

The Poop Fairy

Kayaking

Last Friday we went on a happy hour paddle with Bent River Outfitter. It was a great time. We met at their shop and they drove us and kayak up the Blue Earth River a little and we paddled back down to Riverfront Park. There was a good turnout of people. Bent River Outfitter does the happy hour paddle every other Friday, but you can rent a kayak from them anytime. They also have guides. I think Lucy and I will be doing much more kayaking this summer. She said she wants to take a longer trip and camp on a sandbar along the way.

Weird Face Wednesday

Lucy and I went out to dinner. It was after a long day of kayaking, sun and fun. I asked her to make a weird face and this is what we got.

The rose was from a rosebush we passed on the way to dinner.

Camping, friends and fairies.

Lucy and I had a great weekend. We did a lot and she was still able to spend time and sleep in with her mommy on Mother's Day. 

On Friday, we went camping with friends. The weather was perfect and we had a lot of fun, except for the dogs. Lucy was very scared of all the dogs that were running around. They were puppies, so when Lucy ran, they chased her. I gave her a stick and said to just hit them with it if they bothered you.

This picture was at 2 am when daddy went to sleep. They woke up giggling at 6:30 am.
Daddy got up too and we made coffee and pancakes. 

On Saturday, we went to the Minnesota Fairy Festival. It was a lot of fun. There were fairies from all over and Lucy....errrr....sorry, Izzy the Spring Time Grassland Fairy, as she called her, got in on the action.

We had learned about the festival from Jewel the Water Faerie who Lucy met at The Renaissance Festival.

Fairy Garden Continued...

Some things showed up in the Fairy Garden.

Funny Friday

I decided to upload funny pictures from this week. With Lucy and Daddy together there are a lot of them.

Yes, that is a dog peeing on a truck.

He is not real. This was at Busters for a classic car roll-in. We took the truck (I will post on that later). 

"Lucy, make a funny face." During morning coffee.

Ruhha Roww. Lucy was eating Scooby snacks.

Wish I got a better pic of the double rainbow over the fairy garden.
