spring break 2014

We love spring break!  I mean, what's not to love?  Dad was home for 10 days and we filled it full of fun.  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, there's a lot!

We started the break by heading to Lebanon to see Nana & Papa.  We spent the first day playing and then that night, Jason led worship with Jeffrey for a worship night at their church.  Even with a late night, these boys still woke up bright an early!  Love those sleepy morning eyes.

We surprised Great Grandma "Granny" by moving her out of her house and in with Brad and Sharon.  The kids had fun watching the men move everything in. 


 And because the weather was so beautiful, we were able to spend quite a bit of time outside.  Emma loved taking car of Silas.  She was always ready with his milk or a toy.



We headed home late Saturday night in order to get back for church Sunday.  Luckily the boys fell asleep after about an hour.  My kids are crazy and don't like to sleep in cars.

We then spent the next two days painting!  My husband is a saint.  I had the crazy idea that we should repaint everything all at once so that we didn't have to be in constant paint mode.  I don't know which would have been worse, because after the second night of staying up until midnight, I was ready to kill the person that came up with this plan (me!).  It looks so wonderful though!  I'm glad it's done.  You should come over and check out our "new" house.

In the middle of the chaos!

We rewarded all our painting and craziness by a fun day on Wednesday.  We got up early and started with donuts.  Amos can put away some donuts.  We headed to Rangeline Antiques afterwards a spent some time looking around.  Because that's a no-touching place, we headed to the museum at Wildcat Glades where Amos could explore everything to his heart's content.  We finished up with lunch at Chick-fi-la and nice long naps for everyone.

The end of the week was Jason's reward for all the painting: a three day kayaking trip.  Three days at home without Daddy isn't much of a vacation for us, so we loaded up and headed to Grammy and Gramps.  It worked out perfect that Josie and Priscilla were there too.  We had a blast.

These two played so well together.  I think they both liked all the new toys to try out.

This is a bit reminiscent of two other little kids in high chairs.




 This guy was quite the daredevil when it came to the slide.





We got home Saturday evening and took it pretty easy of Sunday!  Now it's time to get back into a routine.
