Spring Break Week One

Day one of spring break looked a lot more like winter break. We entered the first day of spring with a winter weather advisory. The little ones were not disappointed. The snow didn't start until early evening after a sleet mixture all afternoon. So at bedtime, they made their way outside. Chili remained on the stove and I sat back with hot tea while they enthusiastically embraced weather the rest of us bemoaned.

Some of us were more content to relax than others and while we were at it, Facetime with Lauren revealed a cuter than ever Austin sleeping off a milk hangover. I cannot wait to get back down to see him again. Oh! And he has gained a whopping 14 ounces in 9 days. I think he and his momma have gotten the hang of this feeding routine!

Day two was a continuation of day one. We ended up with just shy of 8 inches of snow and it was really great packing snow so the kids went out approximately 4, 962 times. My dryer ran non-stop and my floors may never be the same but they made a lot of memories and had a blast.

Our neighbor lady is always a good sport. The kids knocked on her door at least three times asking if she was finished working yet so she could come out to play. Ty kept throwing snowballs at her until she finally got even. He loved every second of it. And the fort was Kate's goal all along. Leah is awesome.

 Of course you cannot have snow days without hot cocoa. It's a rule. As far as spring break goes, snow was not on the agenda but when the kids are having this much fun, you embrace it.

Day three was spent playing in what remained of the snow and coloring Easter eggs a bit prematurely. I was heavily in the throws of preparing for a quick trip to see Lauren this weekend. I am so ready to hold Austin again!
