Shhh. The king is resting

King Calvin was at our house yesterday. He was tired and needed a rest after ruling over the family. Actually Joseph saw some things in the toy box and decided to embellish him. Then he says, "Look at him!" It was so cleaver that the camera had to come out.Closeup of the scepter and ring.
Then Calvin's cousin came by for a visit. Gigi latched on to him and was raising him up like a set of weights. She loves babies.

Gigi had enough of her brother sitting on her and just moved away, creating a void that Calvin slipped into.

A card for Great Gramma G

Joseph is a very kind, considerate and thoughtful eight year old boy. His Great Gramma G was sick and in the hospital and he wanted to make and send her a card so that she would feel better. He called his Gramma Larsen and asked her what Gramma G's favorite color was. Judy said that it was RED. So he went to work and spent a couple of hours thinking, designing, laying out, drawing, cutting and coloring this card. We brought her home from the hospital and it was waiting for her. Sniff, sniff. Thanks Joseph. Gramma G loved your card.

Yo Gabba Gabba

Okay, there may be some of you that already know about this group. Well, I probably had my first and last experience with them. Kirstin came home from the hospital with baby Kellan Friday afternoon. We agreed to take the twins Saturday afternoon and keep them overnight and take them to church the next morning. Kirstin had already bought tickets for Yo Gabba Gabba knowing that we would love to take the Dudes to the concert. So after supper we headed to the Target Center. Since this was the second show, they were not ready to let us in and we had to wait almost 30 minutes with rambunctious kids, running around the Giant Timberwolf on the floor.

We all got our Party Glasses because there was "A Party In Your Tummy". There was some time before the show started so I took the boys down to center court right to the stage where all the action was going to happen.

Before we got there, we all picked out our favorite color character. Mine was Muno - he's the red cyclops.

Logan decided he wanted to be the blue guy - Toodee. He change from the green guy.

Liam from the start, and there was not any deviation, wanted to be Brobee, the one in the sporty yellow robot suit.

Here is the whole cast.

We can't forget to include DJ Lance, the handsome dude in Orange.

After 25 minutes, it was time for half time, a.k.a. intermission and also for merchandise sales. The intermission lasted 30 minutes, five minutes longer than the first half. Then they had the second 25 minutes of the show. I was going to upload the intermission sign but forgot. They also had a really goofy rock band. The boys got balloons that fell from the ceiling and decided to have a balloon fight. See for yourself below.

Now that Liam was armed with a balloon weapon and the fact that we were sitting in the first row with a railing in front of us and a walk way below, he bonked everyone that walked in front on the head with the balloon. My hero! He was protecting us.

12

12 means that we now have twelve grand kids. Baby Squishy, as he has been know for months and is still nameless, came into the world at 9:16AM on Mar 9. He was 21 1/4 inches long and 9 lb 5.2 oz. He is one of the biggest. I can't remember the biggest so any Larsen kids out there correct me if one of yours was bigger. And his blood type is B+. He is a cute bundle of joy. No, he does not sport a Mohawk hair-do. That is just the way the nurse decided to do it after his first bath. Both mom and baby are doing just great.
He resembles Liam a bit in this picture. But there is enough of both sides of the family in Baby Squishy that both can claim victory.
Can't wait for him to be home. I only got to hold him a few minutes.
