This weekend, we headed up north to Daddy's parent's house for the Syttende Mai parade. Syttende Mai is "Norwegian Constitution Day or "grunnlovsdag," commonly known as "Syttende Mai" or the 17th of May is a celebration of the day in 1814 when Norway's constitution was signed in the town of Eidsvoll, Norway." Everyone in Randy's town is Norwegian (Shhh, I still don't think they know I'm not Norwegian!) :) They have a parade and other fun things to celebrate.
As you can see from the pic above, Jackson loved the parade! He would go through phases where he was fine, then something would startle him and he would hide under his blanket and cry. He was very happy with the little truck and slinky he got from the parade. Jameson, on the other hand, loved it. He sat on the curb and caught candy. He danced to the bands and waved at everyone that passed by. Jackson had more fun sitting on the porch swing with Aunt Donna and Uncle Dave.
The third picture is the Culver's shake Mommy and Daddy were going to split on the ride to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I gave Jameson a taste and that was the last I saw of the shake. You can still see the tears glistening on his cheeks from Daddy having the nerve to ask for a sip.
The last picture is of the Mother's Day cake the boys made me. It tasted much better than it looks!
Object du Jour: Jackson found a digital thermometer at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He fell in love and Grandpa said Jackson could keep it. Now we know the humidity level around J at any given moment. Very handy!
