"The Best Spring Break"

Victoria told me that this Spring Break was the "best spring break ever!" Want to know what the best spring break looks like?

-Monday: spring cleaning, Austin's last day of gymnastics, the McEwen kids came over (the family that came for Easter dinner), Victoria's dance class

-Tuesday: the zoo with Marigold and her daughter Paige (Marigold is a newly baptized member of our church)

Erik was really friendly with the geese!

-Wednesday: watched the Dallin (4), Daria (3), and Victor (almost 2) Loosli for the whole day! The mom, Melissa, and I are good friends and carpool to dance, piano, and anything else we can. Her older kids babysit mine and obviously she has kids Austin and Erik's age too. She made a trip to Utah with her older girls and her husband had to work a few days last week, so I got to watch them one of the days.

Goofy boys!

Pretty girls

-Thursday: the girls got to go to work with Jason for "take your child to work day". They had so much fun, they made Jason stay at work late! They created their own car designs, made pictures for co-workers, went to lunch, among other things. Meanwhile, the boys and I went to playgroup at the park and then to lunch at IKEA with some playgroup friends. IKEA was serving free food to kids all week in honor of spring break!

-Friday: Jungle Java for Paige's 4th birthday, the kids played at the McEwen's house in the afternoon while I had a two hour break, Victoria had a friend over in the evening, we watched the first Star Wars movie as a family.

We had lunch and cake at my house since we live so close to Jungle Java. 

-Saturday: Rake and Go service project with our church and another one in the Plymouth area, Karissa's last day of dance/gymnastics.

The kids all impressed me with their hard work.

We were on a team with the missionaries. 

One of them broke our rake at the last house, the other broke the rake of the other couple we were with!

 -Sunday: we went to a potluck dinner after church at a brother's house in the ward who was a bachelor for the weekend. He had invited the Losslis and the McEwens, our two good friends of the week!

After no nap on Sunday, playing with friends at dinner, and the week of activities, Erik sat down to eat his snack and said, "I tired". The next thing we knew, he was out!
