The first day of Spring Break was spent with NANA!! So thankful for our sweet Nana who took vacation so that Mommy could come home from work and sleep! Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU!! The kids had a BLAST with Nana that day!! She took them to McDonalds for breakfast, then back to her house for some little surprises, to the Library, to Piccidilly's for lunch with Auntie Pam, to the Dollar Store, and lastly TCBY!!! Dang they had a FUN day and a busy one!! They were both exhausted by the time Nana dropped them off!! But they both talked about how much fun they had for the rest of the week!!
On Tuesday, the kids and I played at home that morning and then ran a few errands. Back home to play and have rest time. Then we went to Coleman's BIRTHDAY bash at Pump It Up!! It was a PJ party!! The kids had a great time and Max loved seeing a lot of his buddies from school!! Thanks Coleman for inviting us!! Oh and the only pic I took...MAX ATE PIZZA (with sauce!!) This is actually his second time doing it but seriously I was super impressed!! He really is branching out a little as he gets older!!
On Wednesday we met up with my friend Candice's crew. Eli, Ella Kate, Noah and Maggie. Candice was actually out of town on a cruise so we got to spend the day with Candice's mom Mrs. Paula (aka Granna)!! We met up at Andy B's bowling first!! I called ahead and they said they had lanes open. When we got there all that was open was the VIB lanes. It was SUPER nice but a little pricey. We split the cost which made it a little better but the ultimate thing was the kids had FUN!!!
After bowling Granna was taking the kids to Dollar Tree and McDonalds so the kids of course invited Max and Emery to go with them ;) Granna said "Well, if it is okay with their Mommy" I couldn't say NO! The kids were having so much fun together!! So blessed to have sweet friends for my kids to hang out with!!
And while we were at McDonalds Noah invited Max over to his house. LOL Granna said "Sure!! Come on!!" So we practically spent the entire day together!! We had such a great time though!! All the little kids were EXHAUSTED as we parted ways but totally worth it!! They all talked about how much fun they had for a few days!!
Thursday we woke up and played at home for a while. Then we headed to the mall for a ride on the Carousel! Walked around the Disney store and I let the kids use their Valentine's money from Grandpa Mickey and Grandma Helen!! Below is what they picked out...and they had so much fun playing with it when we got home!! A BIG thanks to GMickey and GHelen for their special treats!!
Emery became OBSESSED with the James doll. CRACKS me up!! She wanted to sleep with him and take him everywhere she went. Not sure if I should be worried yet or not.. LOL At least he is a cute little guy!!
After Disney I let the kids pick out a snack. Emery picked out three mini cookies and an ICEE from the Cookie Place. Max picked out a pretzel (no salt) and an ICEE from the pretzel place. And then we ALL shared while we waved to the EASTER bunny!!!
The kids were loving watching all the kids go up and sit on the Easter bunny's lap. Max and Emery both wanted to go and sit in his lap but we decided we would wait for Daddy to come with us. I honestly was blown away that Emery said "I wanna sit his lap. I love him. I not cry." WHAT?! Not sure when she got so BRAVE!!
On Friday we had another LAZY morning and then....
We loaded up and headed to the park for a picnic lunch!!!
We got to the park and Em said...I have to potty!! Oh dear (we did potty before we left but when you are potty training you gotta go when you gotta go)...so we loaded back up and headed home. Em pottied and then we brought the little potty with us just in case we had another I have to potty RIGHT now instance....
We got back to the park and finished our lunch. Then we got to PLAYING on this beautiful beautiful day!!
Emery and her NO FEAR self was climbing on everything!! Max tried the spider web thing once and decided it wasn't for him!
SLIDING!! One of Emery and Max's FAVORITE things at the park!!
Swinging by the lake!! This was one of Mommy's favorites ;)
Afterwards we walked around the ENTIRE lake. We found some ducks so we went back and grabbed our left over sandwiches and fed them. The kids were LOVING that and wanted me to get more bread!! The ducks were honking at us for more food!! So funny!!
On Saturday we spent most of our day OUTSIDE!!! It was so beautiful and warm enough to play in the WATER!! The kids were ALL about that!! First time playing in the water table this year!! Now for it to warm up MORE so we can SWIM!! We are ALL ready for warmer weather!!
So sad our SPRING BREAK (aka lazy fun week) is over!! Now to get back into a schedule/routine again :( I can honestly say that this was the FIRST week that I have had the kids to myself that we had so much FUN!! I didn't feel like we had a lot of crying/whining and fighting. Don't get me wrong we had a little here and there but for the most part it was an AMAZING week!! We got up and made breakfast together, had snuggle time, played games, and more and more!! So looking forward to our summer break and all the fun things we will get into!!
