A few highlights:
1. A play day visit on Monday from our best friends that moved a way a few months ago. The kids loved every minute of it and so did I. A little bitter sweet after they left because we miss them so much!
2. We grabbed Daddy from work on Tuesday and took him out of downtown and out for lunch with us. The kids loved seeing Daddy since he has been working some CRAZY long hours each day this past month or two.
3. Potty training success. My little Buddy filled his chart with more then 70 stickers and was one happy boy to head to the store to claim his reward on Wednesday! Way to go JA.
4. A last minute phone call from a friend on Wednesday to run over to the local park to play for the afternoon! It was a little bit chilly but it was so fun to burn off energy. The best part about spring break is being able to do things last minute!
5. Thursday was spent with a dear friend and her sister at the zoo with the kids. The weather was amazing, I could feel the sunshine just bringing new life back to my soul. The kids had a blast and have been asking to go back every day since. I think we may need to get an annual pass!
6. I was awoken at 1am Friday morning by T who told me he was sure his eye was swollen shut. It certainly was! After chatting about a past expereince he had with a similar situation (cyst gone bad) as a teenager that involved IV's every 4 hours for a week I strongly encouraged him to head to the ER and not let it get worse. Glad we live close to the hospital and traffic is pretty light in the middle of the night so T was able to get himself there (I did suggest a cab too ;). Long story short he came home after a few hours (slightly traumatized by the late night strung out ER visitors in the beds around him) with some antibiotics in hand. He lucked out with the day off and we made the most of it even though it looked like I had punched him in the eye! We dropped the kids off at Grandma's and escaped for a quick lunch date. So fun despite it all.
7. Friday night we were invited over to some friend's house for the most amazing meal and great company!
8. Saturday morning AL headed to a birthday party and JA had his little buddy over to play. AL was pretty excited about the chef's hat she made at the party and the beautiful cupcake she decorated.
9. Saturday afternoon spoiled us with the most beautiful weather! We headed to the park and walked the trails along the river. The kids loved every minute of the chipmunks, birds, bugs and melting river. I was blown away by how many people were having picnic and bonfires. JA even managed to invite himself to a BBQ and scored some of the best fire roasted chicken ever ;)
10. Sunday played a little April fool's joke on us when the snow started flying but I am happy to report it is basically gone now. We loved spending the day void of the usual rush and stress of Sunday. Relaxing and listening to conference was the perfect end to a great week!
How did you spend your spring break?
Our spring break isn't until next week, but I hope ours turns out as good as yours!
