Spring Break

We had a stay-cation for spring break this year. I tried to plan something fun for each day, which was good, but we probably could have used even more down time just at home! We went to a new allergy doctor for Eliza, went to the Museum of Natural Sciences, walked into the new development behind us to play at the new playground, went for a hike at the Eno, had playdates at other kids' houses, made cloud dough, swam in the indoor Y pool, and tried making our own pupusas. That makes me tired just remembering all those activities! We had a good time though - some of which was documented on film. And after all that, then it was the weekend again and we were busy doing Easter stuff like egg hunts, dying eggs and eating candy.

heading across the dirt to the not-yet-paved road behind our house (after walking thru woods). So looking forward to construction of a house here! (not!)

Early in the week, we went to the park while braving the arrival of a thunderstorm

laughter on the swings

she decided to squeeze her eyes shut when I went to take her picture - her current form of hiding

teeter totter - it works great!

Blizzard didn't care about the playground on this visit

I thought this would be a cute picture but fitting 3 smiling kids in the bubble did NOT work out.

two fit okay though!

 mix oil plus flour and what do you get? Cloud dough!

feels like flour but can be molded into shapes

excited about ice cream at lunch with daddy after our museum trip

That's it on the photos. You'll just have to use your imagination to visualize how our pupusas looked. (For the record, they were okay, but not great. We'll need to keep working on them). And to see how the girls went down the polar bear slide over and over and OVER again at the pool. And to picture how prick tests on Eliza's back showed yet again that she is still allergic to cashews (but only cashews). But I do have pictures from the Eno - coming up next!
