Spring Break 2011

Spring break came very late this year, and it was MUCH needed in our house! I think we had the perfect balance of busy and relaxation to make it a very nice break. It was nice to be able to sleep in and just have FUN everyday, and fun was definitely had by all :)

Even though it was not technically spring break, Friday, the 15th I braved the Colonial Center with the boys to see Disney on Ice. Patrick and I took the boys last year, so I decided that I could try to take them by myself since he had to work. I will say that the boys were extremely well-behaved. They stayed in their seats (or on my lap) for the entire show, and after I bought them each a light-up toy at the beginning of the show they never asked for anything else. The show was great - I loved it just as much as they did, and it absolutely made my day to see their faces light up when they saw all their favorite characters come out on the ice. After the show, we met Bobo for lunch at California Dreaming (a rare treat!) and then went home and CRASHED because we had a busy morning!



On Monday, Patrick had the day off from work. Since he rarely has any days off anymore, we decided to take advantage of it and go out to breakfast! The boys love going to Cracker Barrel, so we headed out there and both boys got nice, full bellies from pancakes, eggs, and bacon. We don't go out to eat very much, so we always have a good time when we do get to enjoy a meal out. The boys ate a lot and had a lot of fun :) After eating, we did some shopping to get ready for a trip planned later in the week and then let the boys play at mimi-mama's house all afternoon.


Tuesday, the boys and I joined my mom and A.J. at the movie theater to see "Hop." Kaden has seen two movies in the theater prior to this one, but this was Noah's first time going to the theater. He did such a good job and had a fun time watching the movie, eating popcorn, and dancing to the music :) Kaden, of course, was awesome and we all enjoyed the very cute movie.


On Wednesday, the boys and I loaded up nice and early and made the trek down to Savannah, Georgia to visit a very good friend of mine. This is the first time the boys have ever been to Savannah, and it's the first time that I have been in over ten years. We had a great time letting our boys play together on the splash pad in downtown Savannah and walking down to the BIG candy store on River Street to let the boys fill up on candy :) We drove back late that night but will definitely stay overnight next time. It was a very fun day with our friends, and I know without a doubt that we will be making several more trips down there over the summer!


The rest of the week was spent celebrating and getting things ready for Easter which I will cover in another blog post. Sorry it's taken me so long to post, but I hope to get everyone caught up over the next few days. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
