Good Friday

We didn't have school on Good Friday so our SCPS Mommy Group met up at Trotwood Park in Winter Springs. The kids had an Easter egg hunt, decorated cute cookies, played on the playground and then splashed at the splash pad. Nathan had a hard time sharing all the fun toys like bubbles and sidewalk chalk. It was a beautiful day to be outside on such an important day. Nathan was sound asleep within five minutes of our car ride home!

Yep, he still squints when I whip out the camera!

Now in Concert

My sister is a professor at Daytona Beach State College and had a very special solo concert. Her name was on the marque sign and even on the tickets! She played beautifully and had a piano and french horn accompanists. Since, the cat is out of the bag, I should say that this is the last performance I will see in a while since she and her husband were accepted to the University of Illinois to pursue their education. She will be earning her doctorate and Brian will be earning his masters degree. They are brave in taking this new journey and we couldn't be more excited for them.

Science Center Trip

On Friday, we visited the Orlando Science Center. We were so happy that Papa came with us. He was very helpful with the boys. It makes trips like this most fun when I am not out numbered! Thomas had fun playing with all the exhibits. There was even a Curious George Exhibit. I think that was their favorite. There was a rocket ship shaped slide. Nathan showed no fear climbing the spiral staircase to get to the top of the bumpy slide. We were able to see the CineDome movie about Dr. Jane Goodall and her chimps. Nathan loved seeing all those monkeys! After we saw all the exhibits, we ate lunch there and then relaxed at Nana and Papa's house. It was the perfect way to end our Spring Break!

Spring Break

We are having a very low key Spring Break! It's nice to let the kids sleep in and take extra naps during the day. It's especially nice not having to be somewhere at a certain time. We have had lots of fun playing in the backyard, going through closets and getting rid of things we don't need anymore, and we also have had fun redecorating the hall bathroom!

Thomas chose this one since it had an octopus. (of course!)

Super Moon

Here's a picture from our driveway. The zoom came in handy! Wish we were looking at while sitting at the beach like my sister. It was very bright and orange!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

I tried to get a picture of the boys before we left for school, but Nathan wanted no part in it! After school, the boys had fallen asleep in the car and decided to sleep until 7:30!!! During that time, Nana and Papa came over to deliver some St. Patty's Day treats and dinner for us. We were all bummed that the boys were still sleeping and not awake to open their presents. After they got up, they had fun tearing them open. Nathan was very curious about what Thomas got and tried watching him as he opened his own gifts. And to what should they find??? Gold dollars of course!
