I didn't realize how long it'd been since I posted. Once everyone got well we were wide open. Baseball started, the weather turned to spring and we've been going, going, going. Which I love and hate. I really do love getting out and doing fun things but I also love being at home.
This boy and his crazy hair. He was excited to finally go back to school after missing a week.
Barrett's school does a family 5K and fun run every spring. This was the 14th annual. We signed up to do the one mile fun run. We told my dad we were going to walk it and I fully intended to walk. But Barrett took off running and my competitive instinct took over so I started running too, so did my dad. We ended up running most of the mile. It was an amazing FREE event and it was so much fun!
The kids were out of school the next day but I had to work so they stayed with my dad. They had dental appointments that afternoon and dad met me there with them. It was AveryAnn's first trip to the dentist and she did so good. She didn't want to leave. They were in the chair together when I went back to talk to the dentist and they all bragged about how good they were and what a sweet big brother Barrett was. It made my mama heart so happy!
Patrick has been talking about putting a big light up on the back of our house so the kids can play when the sun goes down. He had to get in the attic to do part of the wiring and Barrett got up there with him to help and he was so excited. It was so cute.
We got this tent from Patrick's brother and we're wanting to go camping. We set it up in the back yard just to see if we could and it was so much fun. It was too cold that night to sleep out there.
We played a game on uno and then took it down.
The next morning I got a text from my dad that by little brother and his family were coming up for lunch so we headed over to visit. The girls are so fun together.
We broke out the Wii. Barrett had never played and it was so much fun. I won bowling so I had to document it.
Sunday was St. Patrick's Day. Barrett's first St. Patrick's day was also a Sunday. Here he is both days before church.
Monday he had his first baseball game. My cousin's kids were in town for their Spring Break so they came to watch him. It was so sweet for them to want to come and for Babo to bring them. Barrett was beside himself that his cousins were there to watch him. He had a good hit and did great in the field. This year he's really starting to understand the game and it's so much fun to watch. I know I have a picture somewhere of my sister and me at Matthew's little league game when he was about Barrett's age. I need to dig it up. They lost but they played really well!
We played again on Tuesday night and this girl was a mess. It was cold and she refused to wear a jacket. They almost won this game but lost in the last inning on a grand slam. It was a heartbreaker.
Miss Priss got her school pictures back last week. I am dying at some of these. They are so expensive so I always only buy on sheet but I had to illegally snap these shots of the others. They were so sassy.
Barrett made a list of all the things he wanted to do over Spring Break. McWane Science Center, Top Golf, Flight Museum, and the Zoo were all on his list. Thankfully most of these things are at no cost to us since we have memberships and/or employee discounts through Patrick's work. We both had to work all week but we made the most of it. (Spring Break post coming soon)
I'd made margaritas for bunko and I very much enjoyed the left overs.
Friday, AveryAnn had her 3 year old well check. After we decided to hit the zoo. I never do anything with just her even though Barrett is in school all day. It was crowded. We met Anna and Dawson and a really fun day.
We fed the Lorakeets. We've never done that and AveryAnn loved it.
Also got to ride the train.
The bears were out playing and AveryAnn wanted to have her picture made with them.
Then she begged to ride the carousel, the she cried and wanted to ride on the bench seat.
We got home and played outside until the sun went down. It was the perfect kickoff for Spring Break!
