Summer 2014

What a fun and busy summer it has been! We've been enjoying every single day of it. In early June, the kids went to day camp at Camp Christmas Tree. Sophie and Jack spent every single minute of their time at camp outdoors, enjoying the swimming, archery, arts & crafts, singing and playing. They can't wait to go back to camp next year!

My mom arrived a week after and stayed with us for a couple of months. My dad was also here for a while. It was nice to have them visit.

We went to two Minnesota Twins baseball games this summer and lucked out with good weather. The kids even ran the bases after the game.

Bryan and I did the Color Run with our friend Greg. It was messy, but lots of fun. A very well organized 5k.

Sophie turned 6 in July and celebrated with a birthday party in the rain. The kids still had fun and she enjoyed seeing her school friends after a month hiatus.

Jack now weighs a little more than Sophie. Here's a picture of them from the Mill City Museum.

Sophie got her ears pierced! She says it makes her feel "older" and she didn't even cry.

Bryan did his very first triathlon this summer. He's been training hard and has another tri this weekend.

To celebrate the end of summer, we took a long weekend trip to Duluth. We visited Split Rock Lighthouse, Gooseberry Falls and Canal Park. The kids enjoyed the water park at the hotel where we stayed.

It's been a very fun Summer and we're looking forward to the Fall!

Walgreens Diapers review

This is a review for the Well Beginnings brand of diapers, available at Walgreens. I received a package of Size 4 (22-37 lbs) 31 count diapers. My son recently turned 4 and potty trained about a year ago, but he doesn't consistently stay dry at night, so we like to keep a diaper on him overnight.

The diaper was consistent with the other brands of  disposable diapers we have used in the past-- Pampers, Huggies, Luvs, Target and more. I was not able to smell any scents/fragrances. The diaper was sized appropriately and fit my son well. Even when he didn't stay dry at night, his pajamas and sheets were still dry in the morning. This isn't the case with all diaper brands! I don't do my regular shopping at Walgreens, but if I needed to get diapers in a pinch, I would definitely stop at Walgreens and pick up their Well Beginnings store brand diapers.

Here's a picture of the front and the back of the diaper. Cute elephant designs!

Here's a picture of the Walgreens size 4 diaper on the left, compared to Target brand size 5 diaper. 

Notice how they are almost the exact same size.
