Mushrooms, ER, dance and much more...

Mushrooms you ask?  Well, that is the newest chew toy for little Miss Bianca!  Her curiosity for a wild mushroom landed her in the ER last night.  Now, whether or not she actually ate some of it is debatable.  However,  I wasn't taking any chances with the health of my child.  I called poison control, and since there was no way to identify it, they told me to bring her to Children's.  So, that's what I did.  After everything is said and done, the mushroom she may, or may not have eaten, is not a poisonous variety. Thanks to a handy little email address set aside just to identify MN mushrooms, we have determined Bianca will be ok, whether or not she actually ate the shroom.  So, moral of the story?  Don't let your kid eat wild mushrooms!

So, because of our little stay at Children's last night, I missed Annika's first day of dance class!  I am totally bummed about it too, but of course, Bianca's health was top priority.  So, my mom and sister brought her and apparently she had a blast and did great!  She followed directions really well and even picked up what she was supposed to be doing!  She was so frickin' cute in her pink leotard and tights.  Here are some pics:

 

And here we are, apparently pooped out!
Isn't she just the cutest?  I can't wait until next week!

Then today, my mother in law, Fran, took
Bianca so my neighbor and I could visit a park called The Teddy Bear Park.  It's a park geared toward preschoolers and toddlers.  It is so darn cute and I'm so glad Annika and I had the time to do it together.  She and Georgia had a great time.  She was scaling rock walls and going down huge slides. She played in the sand, and on a spider web.  There was a train, and a boat and a giant sand box.  She had so much fun and I can't wait to go back!  The picture above is Annika and Georgia on the motorcycle.

Here is Georgia and her Mommy, Alyssa:

Here she is with one of the numerous teddy bears:

And, last but not least, I thought I'd throw in a picture of the cute train:

Well, have a great evening everyone!  Happy 50th birthday to my wonderful mother!  You are the best mom in the world!  Love you.

I wish we had a park like that.

I am so glad to hear that Bianca is fine. That must have been scary.

Annika looks adorable in her ballet outfit.

What are you guys doing this weekend?
