"Insta"-replay #10; first week of school

Last week was our official first week of school, hurrah.  School didn't go as we'll as I had hoped but the week was still full of fun and new adventures.

The girls wrote their own back to school signs.

Merry was pretty excited to be moving up to second grade.

The real excitement came after school.  Merry had fun being a block artist.  Angry Birds Star Wars was the inspiration for her creation.

We had some potatoes that needed used so we decided to make lefsa.  I grew up eating the Norwegian potato pancakes every year after thanksgiving because that was the only time we had left over mashed potatoes.

We had lovely relatives up from Cali last weekend so we crammed as much fun in to it as possible.  First we went bowling, it was the very first time for both my girls. 

We finished up the week with a trip to the state fair.  We saw blinged out sheep, giant turkeys, funny cakes, table settings, people trying to sell just about everything...etc.  But the highlight each year is seeing the Dairy Princess.

What a week.  It's been long and another is coming quick!
