Spring BreaK!

 

 

 

I wrote this a week ago and totally spaced posting it... 

Spring break is sadly over. The week was a great balance of rest, activity and family time. I think that the kids had a fantastic break. Meli really enjoys having Colin home with her. Now she has to adjust to him being back at school. We tried to keep with our daily routine, but threw in some little extras to make it an exciting week. The vacation did have a not so thrilling start: Colin was sick the Thursday before the break. So he got an early start. Poor guy. He was sick first, then Meli and then Will. I was the only who seemed to escape it. Thankfully, it was not as bad as it could have been. Thank God for strong immune systems. It was kind of weird, each of them chose one symptom to have and they were all different.

After everyone was better we were able to enjoy a few days of nice, sunny weather.  The rest was rain, but that can be fun too. Colin is learning to ride without his training wheels. It is kind of a hard lesson for him. He is so logical that his mind is the only thing keeping him from doing it. He will get it soon!  Meli is doing very well on her bike.

 

My mom and I took the kids to see Paddington Bear. It was Meli's first time (not counting as an infant) to a theatre. She did such a good job! It was cute seeing her in her booster seat being a big kid. They had a blast playing in the arcade area. Meli got first place in the car race three times! I am not sure how she did it, because she drives like Grammie and mama! It was all over the place, but somehow controlled. Her abilities with videogames is very impressive for her age. Colin was the same way. Just crazy.

Meli was freaking out about seeing the Cinderella poster. My little girlie-girl. I think I know what movie we will be seeing next. She was concerned that she did not have her crown on.

During the week, we also went on a picnic. The kids loved packing a lunch to take. Meli mostly played with the flowers. She is obsessed with them. I am constantly preventing her from picking flowers (that should not be picked).
