Living and Learning: Week (end) Recap

This past week was Spring Break. Turns out the Courthouse didn't need Jon so they gave him the week off!!!

We vowed to do something each day that was fun and memorable for the kiddos. On Monday we went to the Allen Natatorium- the kids LOVED it. Jack was in heaven and Ellie showed off her swimming skills. Leaving the pool was a different story. Jack doesn't transition well so Jon carried him out biting and screaming. On Tuesday we went to the park and Bahama Bucks. It was yummy until a sugar bee landed on Jack's mouth and he picked it up with his fingers. Jack and Jon were laughing and Ellie and I were squealing. Sigh, boys. On Wednesday we met up with friends and went to Cosmic Jump. The kids had so much fun and were very worn out. We went to lunch at Glorias and then had rest time because both kids were gruuuumpyyyy. On Thursday we stayed at the house but played all day. Ellie is very into making signs in her 'workshop' and Jack set up his train tracks. I went to the dentist and paid $80 to have my teeth cleaned because my dentist is now out of network apparently.....grrrrr. That afternoon we met friends at the park and stayed for hours. On Friday we had one of Ellie's friends over and they had fun playing dress up, going on a walk with Jon, playing with baby dolls, and giggling.

The week ended with both kids going to their other parents. It was a much needed mini-break although we missed them a lot. We went to see a movie and went to Saltgrass and then Emporium Pies. It was an expensive date night but totally worth it. We got home and I immediately took to our bed- tummy full and exhausted from the week.

We also bought a trampoline this weekend :) Hopefully our trips to the ER do not increase!

It was a wonderful break from work and a great time with the kids and then just Jon and I. The house is clean and laundry is done....which will last .2 seconds I'm sure! ;-)
