Playing Catch-Up

May 14, 2013 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Going Home, Gratitude, Minnesota Me 2 Comments

…today after our trip to North Dakota and you know what?

Mother's Day 2013 III

It was totally worth it.

Mother's Day 2013 II

(Baby Francis, shown here on Grandma & Grandpa’s living room floor, agrees wholeheartedly.)

It was the shortest and sweetest of trips–just Cate, Felicity, Francis & me–arriving at 4 p.m. on Sunday and getting back to the Cities just 24 hours later. We would have stayed up there longer but we had our AHG award ceremony on Monday night and needed to be back for that. 

Plus I’m always, like, worried that my husband will forget to feed the kids.

So, yeah! Today is crazy lady laundry day and all that but before I go…

GIANTS Factory

LOOK! 

The girls and I noticed for the first time ever that the GIANTS sunflower seeds factory is located RIGHT OUTSIDE OF MY HOMETOWN. 

Don’t believe me?

So that was totally cool and my inner homeschooling geek was thinking, I am so planning a field trip the next time that we’re home!

(Wanna come?) 

I love going home, for what it’s worth.

It’s worth a lot, you know?

    I'm glad you made that trip. 🙂

    I think it's a new factory, Lori. I'm totally serious when I say I hadn't noticed it before! (In fact, it was Cate that commented on it when we drove by.)

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
