B&B's and Butter Queens

Short post - I just booked flights for some fall trips! I didn't mean to charge so much on the credit card, but flights have been super expensive and Southwest (yay no bag fees) is having a sale that ends tonight. So purchase I did.

I've been trying to get to Minnesota forever. I haven't seen my sister or my grandma for a  year, let alone the rest of the fam. And my mom hasn't seen Indigo since her birthday. I didn't want to leave David home without us for a week, and he thought it would be fun to go. The only caveat is that we HAVE to go to North Dakota. The only states he has yet to visit are Hawaii and North Dakota. We might also get to the "Great MN Get Together" AKA the state fair. The BEST state fair in the country. Maybe if we go, he'll never want to go to the AZ fair again. We never went when we lived in Wisconsin because I talked about mini donuts and cookies and didn't mention the butter queens! I should know my husband well enough to know that he would be a sucker for a young woman carved in butter!

And then in September, we are going to St. Louis to celebrate David's grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary (We're celebrating at a B&B resort in southern IL). It will be fun to see his family again. Indigo is doing so much now and the younger cousins should have more fun with her than they did last summer. She was cute, but pretty stationary back then. 

Her current new thing is playing "ring around the rosy." she holds our hands and dances and sings and then 'falls down' at the end! Daycare taught her that, and tonight I came home from coaching and David had taught her "where is thumbkin." She holds her hands up and then runs them around her back with the song. So cute!!! I haven't gotten a video, but I did catch her pulling every book off her shelf. Enjoy!

PS - David got me a kitten for my birthday! She is very sweet. Still without a name. It was the best birthday gift ever.
