Spring Break 2013

We enjoyed 9 whole days of sleeping in, hanging out, and doing whatever we felt like.  Our first day of Spring break, it looked like this....

Yes, this IS Spring Break.  I realize it looks more like Winter Break, but this is Ohio!  Don't worry, we just hibernated and had a movie morning, complete with cinnamon rolls and Orange Julius!

So...we had to adjust our plans of going to the park, riding bikes, visiting the zoo, etc. and settle on some fun indoor activities and playdates.  We kept very busy and had a nice week off together.  Here's a glimpse of our fun week together.

First off, was a visit from Grandma and Grandpa.  We watched the game and enjoyed some time together!

The next day, we hit Buckeye Bounce!  Sooo much fun!  I even did some jumping...sorry no video or pictures. Rats!

Getting out some energy

Foam Pit Fun!

Another day we hit Recreation Outlet with Friends Faith and Michael.  Afterwards we went out for Frozen Yogurt.

And since Daddy didn't get Spring Break, we enjoyed Dinner and a Movie, The Drool's, after work one day.  So cute, and something fun for Daddy too!

Bike Ride with a neighborhood friend (on the one sunny/slightly warm day we had).

Trip to Grandpa's Shoe store and dinner with the Cousin's!  Always a good time when we are with family!

I think someone is super proud of his new kicks, don't ya think?

Grandpa's Shoe store is the BEST!  Who gets to do this when they shoe shop?

After getting half a dozen pairs of shoes for the family, we went to visit the cousins!

Hanging out...pun intended

Off to dinner with the whole Crawford Crew!

                                                         ....and lots of family time!

and this sweet girl is obsessed with learning to read chapter books.  She got her first beginner chapter book, with 5 chapters, and can breeze through it after several days.  She is a-maz-ing! 

We spent lots of time like this, cuddled up and reading!

44 school days til more days like this....SUMMER BREAK!  But, who's counting?

Easter, Part 2

I am blessed to still be close to many of my high school girlfriend's.  We all had kids around the same time, and each year we enjoy planning an Easter Egg Hunt.  I think the Mom's have as much fun catching up, as the kids do hunting eggs and going on a sugar spree. It is always a good time, and a tradition I hope we keep alive for years to come!

The Gang (minus 2 families who couldn't make it)!

Ready, set, search!

The next day was Easter morning. The Bunny made his visit and the kids enjoyed candy for breakfast. Is there anything better than starting your day with sugar and then going to church and trying to sit still/quiet for an hour?  Ha!

After Church, we headed to Nana's for Easter Lunch:  ham, turkey, cheesy potatoes, cinnamon apples, rolls, jello salad and more!  Yummy!

Hanging out at Nana's before lunch, with Aunt Emily

The bunny even left Easter presents for us there too!

After stuffing our belly's, the boys went home for a nap, and the girls went to visit Monty.
