Spring break week '13

It was spring break week this week. And we lived it up right. The girls and I made the most of every second of our time together. We stayed incredibly busy running here/there and everywhere. We met up with friends, we shopped, we went to a movie, we shopped, we saw Mr. E.B. (twice), and shopped some more. 

The kiddos loved the movie The Croods. I have to admit, I had some good laughs too. A great way to spend an early afternoon at the mall. 

Shopping with these two knuckleheads sweeties is always entertaining. On this particular outing, they enjoyed pretending to play the role of every department we walked past. This entailed toting around suitcases, touching all sorts of "boobies" (aka: bras), putting each other to bed, etc.  

And then at the end, they posed and asked me to take pictures. Awwww :) 

And when we were at home, they loved up on their American Girl dolls. One night, we put pajamas on each doll, grabbed the animals and snuggled up to catch up on a little Disney. 

It makes us cold to look at Sidney on most nights, as she insists on wearing summer PJ's in the middle of a 20 degree night. But she knows herself well, because if she does ever wear winter PJ's, she's sweating an hour into her slumber. 

And as much as Sidney would like us to believe she does NOT need a nap.....we found her like this on many occasions. She really does need that mid-day snooze. 

I'd like to thank Regan on her photo-bomb. She's learned well from Ryan. 

 And today, well today was the most beautiful spring day in March we could have asked for. As temps rose over 50, we headed down to a local egg hunt. Turns out, with all the recent melting, it wasn't much of a hunt as it was a "handout of eggs". The girls got eggs until their baskets were overflowing. 

And after a yummy delicious lunch at the original Red Savoy's, we once again found Sidney like this.....

 After her quick slumber, we spent the rest of the day enjoying the lovely temps and catching up with some friends. The girls took us on an hour long walk around the block, stomping through puddles, picking up (very dirty) leaves for a "leaf collection" and making a complete mess out of their outfits. 

But what did I care,? we were finally outside, for more than 20  minutes, and no one was complaining it was cold out. 

Bring it spring!, after all, it was SPRING break week!
