On Friday morning I was sitting in the dining room eating breakfast and heard some wild giggling coming from the family room. Maren and Viggo decided to give some new life to old Easter eggs by drawing faces on them! Even better, the egg halves fit perfectly into our Little People cars :)


Look who's here! Maren and our sweet niece Linnea!

Nate bought Viggo an Adrian Peterson jersey while shopping the sale racks at Sears the other night. So here is our little Vikings fan enjoying some popcorn while watching the game with Nate. (We've been calling Viggo "Peterson" all weekend and it is so fun to hear him say, "My name is NOT Peterson!")

Here we are husking corn.

Linnea was a big helper.

As Svea was peeling off the husks on an ear she got really excited when she found the kernals inside. "The corn is hidin' in dere!" She's so funny. Then for dinner Svea had one hot dog (with bun), an ear of corn, five slices of watermelon, two cookies and a pile of Linnea's Cheerios. Maren nicknamed her B.P. (Bottomless Pit)


Cousins together! Viggo has LOVED having Linnea here. Svea has loved it too, but I think she's ready to have her roommate Viggo back. We put Linnea and Maren in Viggo and Svea's room and Viggo is camping out upstairs. I thought it would be fun for the girls to share a room, but . . . Linnea was crying the yesterday afternoon while trying to fall asleep for her nap and I had put Svea to bed in there too. When I went in to give Svea some water, she had her stuffed polar bear over one ear, her hand over her other ear, and her head buried into her pillow. When I asked her if she wanted to come and take a nap with me she said, "Yes!" and practically jumped into my arms. So as much as Svea enjoys playing with Linnea, the room-sharing thing could be better. Maybe that's why she looks so tired in this picture?!
Um, what?! You and Maren are both enviably creative?! Her egg idea is hilarious. Not to mention, adding Linnea to the mix is almost TOO much cuteness for one house to hold (: Glad you're having such a wonderful weekend together!
