After the rainy run on the 4th of July, we gathered with friends and family to walk for Kory in the Blooming Prairie parade. The turnout was great even with the threat of not so fantastic weather. We got through the parade route without getting rained on and had a great time. Norah and Brennan had a BLAST throwing candy. Norah is old enough to understand that she should just throw a few pieces at a time. Her brother on the other hand, he was a crazy man! Handfuls of tootsie rolls we being tossed out of the wagon by him every 3.4 seconds. Man did he have fun! After the parade we had a party back at home with the castle bounce for the kids and plenty of good food to eat. We see the fireworks perfectly from the backyard and both my kids stayed up until the last people had gone home. It was a lot of fun!
On Thursday night, Dawn picked me up after she got off of work and we headed to Treasure Island Casino in Red Wing to do hair for one of my clients wedding. We stayed overnight that night and got up early and started doing hair at 8 am on Friday morning. The whole wedding party was great and fun to work with and they looked amazing. It was great—I also came home $80 ahead on a penny slot machine. Lucky me.
Saturday morning was a busy one a work, the five of us did another wedding party that morning. Beth Standke and Eric Fink were the bride and groom. There were 11 people in to get styled up and they were a blast. The volume in the salon increases significantly, but it is so fun. Kory and I attended the wedding that afternoon. It had been about 3 years since we were at a wedding. It was a fun day, and the kiddos had a blast with a sleepover at Nana Judy and Papa Kevin’s house.
Sunday brought us to another parade. This one was in New Richland for Farm and City days. The kids we tired out from their sleepover, so they were not into the candy throwing as much, and it was HOT! We made it through, but then enjoyed the A/C on the way home.
There is always something going on to keep us busy….that’s a good thing, right?
A couple Norah comments:
On Saturday Kory took the kids to the farmers market and they couldn’t get enough of the fountain in central park. Norah kept throwing in pennies. Kory told her that if she threw in a penny she had to make a wish. After some deep thought she wound up tossed the penny and said “ I wish, I wish today was my birthday.” That’s my Girl.
Today she kept telling on Brennan if he did anything remotely wrong, and after multiple times I told her to stop being a tattle tale. Her response was. “Mom, I DON’T have a tail.” Can’t you just hear her sassy little voice saying that?
Oh, Norah...you are such a sassy little number. But, you're right. You don't have a tail!
