Spring Break 2014

We headed down to PA to stay with my folks for the week so we play with Joey (my parents are watching him for the month while my sister is overseas) and visit with family and friends and to start my fundraising events to raise money for The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America.

We had a very busy week and the kids went to bed late every single night.  They are currently catching up on some sleep so I have a moment to sit down and update this blog.  The pictures below are a little scattered but this should give you a good peek at what we were doing!

A homemade movie theater with fresh popped corn.  Snuggled in and ready to watch Frozen.

Coloring while eating one of my bake sale cookies.

Mikey loves playing Skylanders (a video game) with Bryan. We refuse to buy a gaming system so the only time he can play is when we are in PA.

All the kids honed their climbing skills in the tree.

Couldn't resist snapping a picture of this beautiful blossom tree outside the nursing home.

Joey and Nana with Buddy the bird.  He was so friendly and very chatty.

The nursing home where "GG" stays has it's own self serve ice cream parlor.  Katie wanted pink aka: "black cherry" and Mikey wanted orange for "orange sherbet".

GG got a kick out of hearing Katie say Connecticut.  She told a very long story to GG.

Mustache man!  Notice how red his face is.  He spent a good 20 minutes running up and down the hall with Katie and Joey, yelling and screaming and waking up all the nursing home residents!

Ice Cream again at Stew Leonards.

Climbing on the purple dinosaur.

This kid was really "upset" and "frustrated" because I refused to drive him to "Tornado Alley" during our spring break!  Yes, he still is obsessed with tornadoes.  Here he is trying to take off his seat buckle because he said he was going to walk there himself!

Air between our toes.  This swing is used daily.

Warming up with some hot cocoa on our drive to PA.  The rain was so bad at one point I had to pull over!

Chaos!  I love it!

We spent lots of time outside.  The kids riding bikes and Joey pushing this tractor up and down the street and driveway!

Always great to see Devon.  She came over for dinner!

Teeth brushing time!  They both fit on the little Ikea stool.
