This has been the most amazing week! The kids and I had so much fun hanging out every day, and Jeremy joined us on a few of our outings, too, even though his spring break had already passed. This week has made me so incredibly excited for this summer. The kids are at ages that makes it pretty easy to pick up and go when something fun comes along, and it doesn't take a whole lot to excite them!
Here's our spring break in snapshots...
Mmmmm! Thanks for the dilly bar, grandma and grandpa!
My bucket-headed tutu-loving girl!
"No smiling," gets us his cheesiest grin.

We also made it to the MN Zoo, even getting to be outside in the stroller to see some animals.
Funniest moment of the week was Cooper's 'big pwobwem,' aka big problem. He discovered that all his underwear have holes in them. Try explaining to a 3-year-old that holes are meant to be in boys' underwear... He discovered these 'holes' during naptime... go figure. He likes to nap in just his underwear, which we don't mind when we're at home (choosing battles ;). He came out of his room very concerned one day early in the week:
"Mom, there's holes in my unda-wear." Me: "What? Show me what you're talking about." He proceeds to show me the little man-hole that is made in every little boy pair of underwear. I proceed to explain that it's meant to be that way, that it's okay, and that's how big boy underwear are.
"Mom, we got a probwem! I don't want holes in my unda-wear! We need to get some new ones." So we put on a new pair fresh and tight from the laundry.
Every day for the rest of he week, a similar scenario played itself out each and every naptime.
Thanks to Grandma Dawn for helping Cooper fix his "problem" by sewing the fronts closed. An easy fix for a simple little problem. Nap time is much more restful now;)
Whew. There it is. Now I just have to will myself to bed... When I wake up it means spring break is officially over. Wah.
