Cottage for Grandad's Birthday and Easter

We visited the Natural History Museum in Ann Arbor earlier this week per Liesl's request and she had her usual good time although it was quite stressful with the crazy Ann Arbor driving and little people who refuse to go to the potty when there is a potty available. Both kids enjoyed the dinosaurs and Liesl gave daddy a tour, telling him all about the dinosaurs and what their names were

Went up to the cottage to do spring cleaning and finish up our winter reno jobs. We got quite a bit done including the toilet in the one bathroom, the whole other bath which doesnt "fit" the cottage at all and my dad describes as luxurious, and mom's bedroom which looks great now. Cant wait to see the rest of the cottage transform....but I am done with reno for now except our guilty pleasure of watching HGTV renovations. The kids did amazing up there. Liesl and I colored some eggs which I left there accidentally of course. They were awesome looking too. Jeannie took more steps this weekend 6 in a row but she was nekked of course. I almost finished a painting last week. I am doing some last minute changes soon, hope I dont blow it. Celebrated Grandad's birthday up at the cottage. We managed to pull together chocolate cupcakes and come strawberry cream cheese frosting with what was edible from the fridge and visited the China Buffet for dinner which came back to haunt me. The kids had a good time there, both ate well.

We got back last night and I had to make some more glow in the dark colored eggs. They are currenly lying in wait for Liesl and a dark egg hunt.
