Spring Break (Part II)

Wednesday last week we went and saw Boss Baby, we loved it. It was the funniest movie we've seen in a long time. Even Cate laughed out loud, it was cute. She refused the photo op.

Thursday en route to Seattle. That morning Cate said, "I can't wait to go see cousin Parker, cause he's my best friend." So stinking cute she melts my heart. 

Abi said playing with Parker was one of her favorite things she did on spring break.

Pacific Science Center (Friday)

We saw a 3d Imax movie and a laser light show while we were there and got to eat lunch at Dicks.

Tide pools

Butterfly house, there were so many butterflies they would land all over you. 

Bouncy house fun 

My beautiful morning run on Saturday to Lake Union.

Space Needle (going up). We ran into Abi's best friend Jenna at the Space Needle and rode up together.

Rock climbing at REI

Crazy man Ben climbed all the way to the top.

Ended our vacation with mud pie.

 

We had a very busy, exciting Saturday and then drove home late. It was nice to be home and got to spend all day Sunday catching up. Couldn't of had more fun. Thanks Keri for letting us stay! 

Spring Break (Part I)

We kicked off spring break at the pool with friends and a sleepover.

Monday we went to the Children's museum.

 

Soccer and bubbles

Crafts

Tuesday we went to our favorite park by Tubbs Hill in Coeur d'Alene.

  

Ben lost his other front tooth! He is looking forward to a visit from the tooth fairy.

 

A lot more fun to come.......

In other news, we are failing miserably on the potty training front. No amount of positive reinforcement or bribery will work. Abi had a great teacher conference and so did Ben. He got moved up to the higher level in his special reading group. He may not even need the extra help next year, we'll see. Now that he can read he is taking off. I had a massive mom failure last week. Last Thursday I was supposed to call the school to remind them Ben was taking the bus home since it was early release. I got crazy busy at work and forgot so he pretty much didn't get picked up from school :/

Abi's PACE award for Honesty, she gets to have a trophy on her desk all month.

Cute pictures of Cate, just cause she's adorable.

Sunshine girl

 Cate and I like to sing the sunshine power song, from an Umizoomi episode with a sunshine fairy. She is our little sunshine girl with sunshine power. We call her lemmy, lemon, or lulu cause she's blond and bright like a lemon and lights up the room with her sunny personality. A sweet ray of sunshine that brightens our day.

I'm kinda loving her grown out baby mullet phase, I think it's adorable.

My mini garbage helper. Her carefree, arms and legs flailing in every direction, cheerful prance cracks me up every time.

Happy birthday Gram!

Couldn't help myself, had some editing fun.

We had fun making Grandma's birthday sign.

  

It came out great, good job Keri!

  

Post Falls Park

The out takes are my favorite.

The Spokane River is raging.
