We've just finished Spring Break Week, which is a hilarious idea with 5,3, and 1 year olds. I've had a whole week of 'oh-my-gosh-i've-got-to-be-creative-and-fun-and-boundless-energy-for-9-full-days...". Yikes. It was a blast though...
more pics continued from the last post. HOW GREAT is that outfit?
..and she picked out the pink socks and plaid flats to go with it. I give them some choices, ok?!That outfit could've been from the same Butterick's Spring 1984 catalog that featured this hot number:
I had outfits like that in the 80's, too...they were from this store called "UNITS". Horrible idea. big mistake. WHY did that even exist?!
More Spring Break pictures.... this was the very second before they SMASHED heads, tears from both girls, playtime over for a little bit.
This boy is naked all the time. He seems to love it, we don't really mind it either...
Ainsley was given a REAL ballet leotard and ballet slippers by Mimi last week. That's a three year-old in HEAVEN... she wears it every day, gushes over it, and can't stop watching her reflection in the fireplace. SUCH a riot. The FOCUS she has is awesome, too.
What else? We went to the Zoo one day, stayed in and did crafts one day that rained non-stop, visited three new (to us) parks in town, went grocery shopping one day, played with neighbors, lots of wrestling with daddy in the evenings.
Adam had his USN Reserves weekend this weekend, so I was a little worried about coming up with two more days of new and fun stuff to do....But, then we found LETTUCE:
You can see Mitchell's face in that picture!? Awesome. He's not too excited about the turtle... but the girls LOVE the smelly thing, so we'll keep him for a few days. We even had a friend (who's a Vet in town) look at him and Dr.M says he looks great and is probably pretty old- like 10ish years. She told us what Lettuce should eat, how to give her water, etc... Elise can't stop playing with it. really funny. Elise found it in the backyard on Saturday morning first thing and it kept them happy ALL day Saturday and parts of Sunday and Monday, too. YAY for a distraction and something cooler than Mommy.
Last picture of the day... Mitchell woke up Friday morning with a black eye! We have no idea how it happened and it hasn't slowed him down one bit. It looks much worse in person than this picture, too... crazy.

You are so, so, soooo creative! I am jealous and in awe.
Krista had a pink and white stripped tennis dress just like the one Elise is wearing. So sweet! Loved that romper too, just precious.
Meagan...Thanks! You're sweet. and hilarious. That pink/white dress is probably the SAME ONE that Krista had! Elise is STILL wearing a ton of those clothes you sent a year and 1/2 ago...she hit a little lull in growing... been in 5/6's for almost 2 years now. THANKS again! =)
Love the black eye + drool combo on Mitchell there. Looks like he just got finished teaching someone a lesson. Hope it wasn't Lettuce.
I'm sure the black eye did NOT come from running to keep up with the girls and hurl his body at the floor once in a while!
Ainsley is Jane fonda for sure!
