Spring Break week was a fun but laid back week for Caleigh and I. We had no real schedule so we were allowed to relax.
During the week, we had a playdate with one of Caleigh's friends from 3K last year at the park.
We went to Granny's house and she played with sidewalk chalk on fresh pavement and then had a dance party with Granny in her living room.
Chad, Caleigh and I had a picnic and adventure at Dauset Trails followed by some froyo at Cherry Berry. Caleigh played the Just Dance game in front of everyone at Cherry Berry without any fear!
We stopped by and visited Dakota and Molly one night and Caleigh and Kota played and read to each other.
One particular day of Spring Break felt more like winter and so we made the best of it and slow cooked one of Caleigh's favorite meals, chicken & dumplings.
The end of Spring Break was spent cleaning house, doing laundry, and packing! Up next is our family vacation!!!
Easter weekend found us very busy!!! We had festivities that lasted throughout the entire weekend. We began our "weekend" on Thursday.
This was Caleigh's last day of school until after spring break. Her preschool does not have class on Good Friday. Her class participated in an Easter egg scavenger hunt. The class was given a clue and then they had to figure out where in the school they were supposed to go and then find a certain number of eggs with their name on them in each location.
Good Friday was spent with Chad off work and the family taking a trip to Caleigh's doctor's office. She had spent the night before gagging and hugging the toilet with an awful cough. She begged me to take her to the doctor. She had just finished a 10 day round of antibiotics only 7 days earlier due to a strep/flu/double ear infection diagnosis. But with the weekend and holiday approaching, I didn't want to take any chances and I was glad I didn't. She still had a double ear infection and the immense pollen was causing all of the congestion and gagging. She got another round of antibiotics and started back on breathing treatments as well as her regular inhalers. Spring's here! Right after her appointment we went to Tanger Outlet Mall where they were hosting a food truck and entertainment event. We ate, shopped, and Caleigh played games, played with bubbles, and had her face painted. It was a pretty fun day. Later that night, Caleigh hung out with her Nonnie and Chad and I snuck in a quick date before picking her up and heading home for the evening.
Saturday was a very busy and fun day for Caleigh and I. We started out at an egg hunt for the city of Locust Grove. All Caleigh's cousins joined in and Mish and Thomas even came bringing Starbucks!!! Caleigh and I then went to some Easter festivities at a local high school football field. They too were going to have an egg hunt but not until much later. So, Caleigh played on the jumpies, at some cotton candy, and played with some friends from her school that were there and then we left to grab some lunch at Moe's with Mish and Thomas. After lunch, we came home for a few minutes and then headed to Relevant Church's Easter Egg Drop. Caleigh loves watching the eggs fall from the big military helicopter. Here she played on more jumpies, egg hunted, and got her face painted. After this was all done, we headed over to Mish's house to dye some eggs of our own. We were both exhausted after this and headed home for baths and bed.
Easter morning Caleigh was delighted to see that the Easter Bunny had visited and left her her usual Easter basket fare...a swim suit, swim coverup, beach towel, summer attire, etc. This year he also left her some My Little Pony ponies and a pony play tent. She was one happy little girl.
It was off to church after she saw he basket and then over to Mish and Thomas' for a steak and potato Easter lunch and a family egg hunt.
The weekend was sure busy but the memories created are sure to last for a good long while! One of my favorite memories will be this video that Caleigh took of herself telling the story of Easter. I LOVE HER!
Shelby's second birthday party took place in the same place as her first did, but it looked very different. Pooh was the theme last year and this year it was The Cat in the Hat! She had a super cute party that was topped off with the Cat himself (herself)!
