A FULL Saturday

On Friday I had an email from Liz wondering what I was up to on Saturday AM... and then Husband came home and said he was thinking about taking the girls (AND.THE.DOG. someone SAINT the man) ice fishing... I ran off to play with sweet Liz and took not a single picture... we had an AH-MAY-ZING time doing whatever we wanted whenever we wanted (hello breakable section in Pier One!! :) and this crew took off...

Complete with orange hats and Mimi sweaters...

Minnie was VERY successful! :) She used her new heritage trap she got for Christmas from Nana and Grampa that came with a can of pink spray paint. She and Daddy have been working on this trap project for a couple of weeks and on the day of "pinky's" maiden voyage, Minnie caught a 19" brown trout which she promptly brought to Nana to eat ;)

 While I was out with Liz and Husband was busy wrangling fish and little girls (not to mention... THE.DOG!) SIL L asked if we'd be up for a spontaneous trip to the outlets. We had a few things we need to do in that area so we agreed, throwing the fisher girls in the car for nap rides... we stopped for dinner on the way home (Thanks B&B for the gift card) and with "Kids Eat Free" coupons we made out OK :)

 I texted SIL L on the way home and said... "it is not lost to me that our days with the WHOLE crew are numbered..." what a special time spent together just like the "old days"...
except this time it was MY kids complaining about shopping and not eating their dinner and HER kid that is getting ready for college in a few short months...
