As soon as Meadow woke up we let her open her present from us. A Captain Marvel dress. When I bought it I thought it was Wonder Woman. She still loves it. I think she likes it better than her Wonder Woman costumes. She can wear this one wherever. The birthday girl requested banana split yogurt for breakfast. She had some trouble blowing out a candle. While Scott ran out to buy an air conditioner, Meadow and I assembled fruit wands. Sadly the watermelon was bad and we were only able to make two. It was super hot and some special guests were coming to stay with us. Meadow's not great with heat. So I caved in. This year we had her party location at Beard's Plaisance on the other side of Lake Harriet. We had biked past there many times in the last year and it seemed like a perfect location for a gnome and fairy party. I was worried we weren't going to find a spot, but we were the only ones here! A little gnome was the first to show up...

We have been doing a really awesome job of skipping the grocery store and making meals from what we already have. When Emma suggested doing a Mother's Day brunch together we had to pick up a few extra things. To the farmer's market!
