Spring Break - Part 3

Delaney and Isabelle both wanted a friend to spend the night. I've learned that it's a lot easier (on me) to have a friend come over for each of them on the same night rather than two different nights. A lot less fighting, people feeling left out, etc.

Isabelle had her cousin, Avery, over and Delaney invited Anna Kate! We had a fun night of making pizzas, eating tye-dye cupcakes (something I found on Pinterest), watching movies, playing computer games, etc! I'm thankful for their friends/cousins. Love watching their friendships grow!!














Random pic of Eleanor that was too cute not to post.


I think the Friday of Spring Break we did a late breakfast at Krispie Kreme...Flat Stanley sure loved his donuts!








Saturday was Spa Day for the girls. Daddy was at work (tax season) and we were off from soccer. It was cold outside, but apparently a swimsuit was a MUST for Spa Day! They loved it...masks, pedicures and manicures! Such a fun girlie day!









I promise D & M were there, they were just doing something else when my camera was out.


Sunday, we went to Yogurt Mountain with my parents, Uncle Justin, Aunt Becca, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Jennifer & Eli. It's always a fun treat to go get yogurt, although Sloan and I have learned we have to limit the amount of yogurt and toppings for each child otherwise I think our bill would ring up as $100!!!




Thankful for sample cups! Pretty sure we all tried that Maple Bacon...general consensus...GAG!!!!!!!!!!!!



Flat Stanley's final Spring Break outing! I'm not sure Isabelle shared with him though!

We had a great Spring Break and we checked a lot of things off our Spring Break bucket list! There's always next year to finish the rest!

Spring Break Part 2

So my phone won't hold any more pics, had to go through and delete some just to take some (ugh...hate it when this happens...dang first world problems). Anyway, when I did I realized I never finished blogging Spring Break...uh, hello, that was month's ago! So in an attempt to remove pics from my phone here goes......

The girls wanted to have breakfast with Grandma (my mom) one day. I figured we would go to Cracker Barrel or IHOP, but they chose Chick-fil-a instead...fine by me! They loved having the whole playground to themselves (I now know the time to go...no one was there)!














The girls were also begging (literally) to go dig for diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State park. Thankfully, we were able to go with friends. The Havens kids and Clinton girls were quite the archeologists/diamond diggers...they had a blast and Jessamy and I were happy we had each other to talk to while the kids dug in the dirt. Everyone was dead set on finding a diamond...or two or three...DID.NOT.HAPPEN.!!!!!












Give a kid a bucket, throw in some dirt and they are occupied for hours!














Isabelle was in the middle of doing a Flat Stanley project for school, so he tagged along with us! I think he had fun hiding in the dirt, although we found him in the picnic basket a few times...I think he was hungry!



No diamonds for Stanley. No diamonds for us. We found out later that 3 diamonds were found that day (2 brown and 1 yellow)...we found rocks! Oh well...maybe next time??!! If there is a next time!
