This week was spring break. The schoolkids were at daycare most of the week, so it was a fun week!
Monday, there were only a few of us, so we got to have pizza for lunch and ice cream cake for snack. It was Sue's birthday, and we were all good - no kids had time outs on Monday!
Wednesday, we went to the dentist. We've been looking forward to this because we have wanted to play in the bus [in the dentist's lobby] and drive the bus for a while now. Hannah was very well behaved. She sat nicely and even let the dental assistant take bitewing pictures. Unfortunately, the pictures revealed two cavities, so Hannah gets to go back to the dentist. Noah didn't like the polishing toothpaste that they used to polish his teeth. And he wasn't so sure about Mr. Thirsty, though once they showed him how cool it was to have Mr. Thirsty (the sucking straw) suck all that toothpaste out of his mouth, he was cool with it. After sitting on mom's lap for a few minutes, he decided that Mr. Thirsty & the polishing toothbrush could finish shining his teeth. He did not have pictures taken of his teeth, and they didn't see any cavities in his mouth. At the end of the visit, we each picked toys - when we got back to the car, we realized we both picked out the same toy! We each picked out a toy camera - Hannah chose a red one, Noah chose a yellow one.
This week we didn't get any snow - in fact, we had some nice days. Enough so that we got to go play outside Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
Friday after daycare, we went to see the bridge that is getting torn down. The bridge is torn down over the railroad tracks - it was pretty cool to see. Mom said they're going to tear out the road and make the bridge and road even bigger. That shouldn't take long, right?
Saturday was a busy day - we got up and played, went to see Mommy at her volleyball tournament. We were so excited to see her and the Divas, but this was their last tournament of the year, so Mommy was sad about that. When we go see Mommy at her tournaments we usually get to have sloppy joes and play with the other kids. It's always fun.
We had a lot of fun just playing at home in the afternoon - we built forts, played Barbies and princesses and dressed up. Then we went outside and all the neighborhood kids came to play! Brooke & Connor from down the street came over while Griffin came over, too. It was pretty fun.
When Mommy came home, she brought in a package that we got in the mail. It had a new red carseat in it! We didn't get a chance to try it out in the truck, but we got to sit in it and check it out once we cleaned up the living room. We got ready to go out to the VFW to eat after cleaning up the living room. (We've wanted to go to the VFW for two weeks!) But they were too busy so we drove down to Daddy's work and got McDonalds because Daddy had to pick up something at his office. We were exhausted after such a busy day!
Today, Noah got up and laid by Mommy for about an hour while Mommy rubbed his back. He liked that. Then we got to go to Sunday School. We made prayer mats for when we say our nighttime prayers. Then we got to go to the nursery while Mom & Dad were in church. It was a fun day in nursery - even though Casey wasn't there to do projects, we got to play with 4 other kids from our 3-5 yr old class and a 7 year old girl. Shayna watched us play - and when church was over, she brought us in a room where our Moms & Dads were and said "Wow. Babies are much easier!" and left. We're good kids - I guess her baby just doesn't have as much energy as us!
After church, we went to the VFW to watch planes land and eat. Unfortunately, no planes came in or took off. We were hungry though! We cleaned our plates AND helped Daddy eat some of his food. Then we went shopping before coming home and trying our new booster seat in the truck! It's red - we both wanted a red car seat. Mommy only bought one because she wanted to see how it fit us. We were both tall enough to fit - we really are getting to be big kids now!
We played outside for a little while tonight - Brooke came over to play. We played together for a while, then Brooke & Hannah just wanted to play without a boy with them. Noah was bummed and was looking forward to when Griffin came home so he could play with another boy, but Griffin didn't get home until shortly before supper, so he didn't get to play with Griffin. Maybe we'll get to play this week because it's going to be nice this week. Yay! We're so happy that the snow is melting and we can be outside again.
Have a good week! We're looking forward to going back to school again this week.
