a weekend of firsts.

We had such a great weekend around the Prosser house.   On Friday night, the boys took me out to eat at a cute local place in downtown White Bear, called Washington square.  We're those crazy Minnesotans that ate outside in 50 degree weather, but hey.. the sun was shining, it felt great!  We stopped and got a mini cone for Leyton and spent some time walking around and watching Luke and Leyton parkour (it's a real word and they're good at it..)

Saturday was full of house work, yard work (thank you Muggs and Chris!).. then we finished the day at the Mall of America.  This little spontaneous trip turned into such a fun time!  We ate at Rainforest Cafe.. a 2 year old, animal lovers dream... played Legos at legoland, and rode some little kid rides at the amusement park.  Fun, right?   Leyton was such a champ on the rides, it was hilarious.  The only rides he has been on are the merry-go-round (doesn't care for it) and the train last year in the Florida (hated it).  So we didn't have too high of expectations.  But he seriously loved it!  We went on a slow train first, then moved up to the bus that goes really high, then to some cars that whip around really fast, then a real live rollercoaster! (well, real live for a 2 year old).  He was so funny.. not very expressive but would quietly yell 'wooo' every once in a while and try to put his hands up.

Sunday, we went to church and for the first time, both boys went to nursery!  It was wierd, I felt extremely bare without a baby or even a diaper bag.  Leyton still doesn't do the best in nursery.  Luckily, he hangs in there and barely makes it so we aren't those embarrassed parents who get their number called. And of course, Finn was a gem.  The girls in the nursery said that he's such a good baby, he smiled the whole time.. ahhh this feels great to have one of our kids be called a "good baby!"

Here's the big boy on the rollercoaster with grandma!
