Spring Break!

Thursday afternoon Tia Jean arrived from Pittsburgh. I was able to come home for a late lunch with everyone since it was evening parent-teacher conferences. O's music class was canceled which was lucky since he had the sniffles and would've missed it anyway. After conferences we had potato omelettes and steamed green beans for dinner. Friday O. stayed home from playschool and My Gym free play and Jean came to school to volunteer for the afternoon and then we headed home officially on spring break! We had family dinner with my parents and Derek cooked up a storm of delicious meatballs, spaghetti and a beautiful salad. To top it off we thawed out a pan of delicious eggplant parmesan that Joe had made while he was here in February. Delicious!

Saturday morning we played at home, then Jean and I bundled the kids up in the jogging stoller and the graco for a neighborhood walk. At the end of the walk we stopped at the park so O. could play and L. could have a mid-morning snack, then headed home and cooked fried eggs for everyone. O. went down to nap just after the snack (around 11:30) and we all met Grandma and Grandpa for a late lunch at California Pizza Kitchen around 1:30. O. tried out a booster seat and enjoyed taking a walk with Grandpa outside to see the ducks while we waited for our food. He shared pepperoni pizza with daddy and a few soybeans from momma's salad too. Laney slept through lunch.

Grandma and Grandpa were getting ready to fly to Naples on the red-eye so they came back to the house for goodbyes and headed home. They helped Owen mark "hugs" every day on the calendar since they'll be gone for 10 days and O. is very attached to seeing them almost every day.

Jean will be here until Wednesday and then momma will have both kids on her own for the rest of the week and then next week too! We have lots of fun plans for playdates, park visits, My Gym, storytime, music class and playschool.
