This and That

We had a great time over at Danielle and Mark's last Friday night, when Stokes, Ben, and Andy were in town. It's always interesting with a gator + inexperienced 5 year old drivers. Saturday night was so different from our usual scene! Congratulations to Mark- Mr. One Man Minneapolis! Much thanks to Becky and Christopher for watching our crew while Mike and I went to Pantages Theatre for the One Man pageant, followed by clubbing at Seven. Similar to Cinderella though, we had to catch our carriage (taxi) home by midnight.

We had a flurry of showings last weekend, and then a quiet week on the realty front until finally a showing this morning. We turned down a lowball offer late last week, and have decided to keep on with our current pricing strategy. We're just patiently (?) waiting for the right buyer to find our house.

Annalise had a week of science camp at Southwest high school, while Bennett is taking swimming lessons at an outdoor pool. Our little scientist had a lot of fun at school, learning about anatomy, planets, making goop, and flying paper airplanes, but I think her favorite trick was swinging a cup of water around without any coming out (centrifugal force). If you want your kid to learn how to swim, you go to Foss. If you want something to do while Annalise is at science camp, you spend $40 and not expect much from "lessons". I keep reminding myself that, since I am less than impressed with the four pierced, tattooed 20-somethings standing calf-deep in the water demonstrating arm strokes in the air to their 11 three year old students.

Many thanks to Danielle for a lovely evening of watching the kids bike in the street (Oh, to live in Edina) and eat frozen pizza while Mark was working, and Mike was at Eric's bachelor bash. It is so much better to be doing it together than being alone at home!

I'm going to be back in the habit of frequent posts, so stay tuned! And someday, when I'm ready, I'll fill you in on the meaning of the last post (if I haven't told you in person yet).
