We stayed very busy during the girls spring break this year. We had a lot of fun and spent loads of time outside. We played at the park, rode bikes, went places, baked cookies, stayed at Nana and Papa's house, worked in the yard, painted and had a girl night together.
During the weekends, we soaked up time together since we had no soccer games for two weekends in a row. Monday, Aaron had jury duty and was released mid-morning so we could go to the Dallas Arboretum as a family. Beautiful tulips and other flowers everywhere with amazing weather! I will expand on that trip in my next blog entry because I took way too many pictures!
Tuesday, we went to Chuck-E-Cheese's and played lots of games until it became more crowded. They always have such a blast there!

That night, Daddy helped with the execution of "Girls Night" and painted some fingers and toes with me. We put mud masks on, watched shows and ate popcorn and homemade cookies until past bedtimes. The pampering was fun and something different for us to do together!

Wednesday, we met friends at the painting place and chose more ceramic figurines to paint. The girls could do art for hours and hours. It is always fun when we go and we are building quite a collection.

Thursday, we met neighbor friends at the park for lots of outside time. I also found a few selfies on my phone during this week that I thought were hilarious to share.
Saturday, when the girls got back home, we gave away free samples of Sweet E's cookies and sold several dozen as well in our neighborhood. The girls (especially Brooklyn) helped make signs and were very excited about this kick-off. We had some sweet support from a lot of friends and neighbors.

That afternoon was working time in the yard. We trimmed bushes, reworked lots of landscaping in the backyard and even tore out our built-in grill area to relocate it. Worm-finding and gecko-playing was had by all.
We had such a wonderful week. It was exhausting but super fun! We are counting the days until summer when tons more outside time will take place.
