Playing Hookie

Fletcher is my alarm clock but he didn't wake this morning until almost 9 a.m. So seeing as how we were going to be really late for school and I had nothing on my agenda for today, Fletcher and I played hookie and went to the Charlotte Nature Museum and Freedom Park instead. What a wonderful day! I looove that part of Charlotte and could sooo live on Queens Rd or East Blvd! We enjoyed the museum where Fletcher (as usual) made some new friends whose company we enjoyed the rest of our visit. He also petted a corn snake named Duncan! Later we headed to Brixx on East Blvd. where we noshed out-of-doors. Then it was back to the Nature Museum where we unloaded Fletcher's bike and pedaled over to an around Freedom Park. It was a great day for the park: we played at the playground, Fletcher rode around the lake, and we enjoyed watching others nap on the lawn and playing Frisbee. On our way home we stopped at the Target in the new METropolitan shopping center in Midtown. All in all we had a great day. I'm sure I have Spring Fever!

Ed and I

Ed and I never seem to make it into many pictures so I made sure yesterday to get one of Ed and make him take one of me. He we are. Aren't we good-lookin'? :)

Yes, There was Snow Earlier this Week

Yesterday afternoon the Clausen's headed to the athletic park in Huntersville for playground fun, bike riding, and walking. The weather was perfect! Looking forward to a repeat today!

The swim team from MAC was at the park running laps and my charismatic child decided to high five each one of them as they crossed the finish line. I know what you're thinking, Tonya, and we made him wash his hands with sanitizing cloths as soon as we got to the van!

Fletcher got a haircut yesterday and still had that "fresh-from-the-barber" look. It's looks better after a wash last night.

More Snow Day Fun!

This p.m. we ventured out and went to Tonya's for some more snow fun with Emma Kate, Jack, and their friend, Jane. They have a sled and a great hill for sledding. Jack enjoyed playing with Ed and decided he was a great target for snowballs and the other kids joined in! I took my turn on the sled which was fun until we caught some air and landed with a thud on the pavement: ouch! Below are some photos I snagged from Tonya's FB page. Thanks for the photos and the fun, Tonya and gang!

Snow What Fun!

We got some real snow last night (4 whole inches)! So this morning we headed out into the snow for snow angels, snowman, sledding, and more snow fun!
