We went to Fargo over Labor Day weekend. The Ohlson's were so nice to want to celebrate a little early with Bennett for his birthday! He wanted so much to have Jude at his party so it worked out just perfectly. The kids were able to see "Planes" the new Pixar movie, play play play, eat cake, scones, enjoy each other and talk about how much they miss living by these friends the whole way home. It was a great time, as usual.
Our Darla Anne started Kindergarten this week. She was VERY ready and excited. Gratefully there is a little girl named Carli in her class that also lives in our complex that she has gotten really close to. I know because of Carli the transition was even easier. God is so mindful. She was disappointed on Friday to realize that she didn't have school over the weekend, but on the other hand she is thrilled that she gets five whole days next week!
Tate's first day of taking Darla to Kindergarten. He was the only one who cried when we dropped her off. "Dar-wa, need Dar-wa!"
Here is my four year old Bennett the morning of his birthday! He got "smurf guns" (nerf) from Grandpa and Grandma Nelson.
He requested Snuffy's Malt Shoppe for dinner. Never seen him eat so fast and so much - I believe he said something to the likes of "This food is just so good I just can't stop eating it!!!"
The only friend he wanted to have join us was Audrey Tree. Thanks for being our friend Tree's. We love you!
Tate was happy also to be eating "sen sighs" (french fries)
Happy Birthday Bennett Clark! You are one of the happiest, most content, willing to share and love four year olds I know. You were super excited to get legos, nerf guns, and a Teenage Mutant Ninja turtle. I love watching you create, imagine and play with all of your "specials". You make my life happy. Thanks for letting me be not just your mom, but your friend. I love my Bennett.
