Rest

This weekend, the focus was on rest. We have had a busy couple weeks and slowing down for a few days was great!

We started the weekend Wednesday with Hensley's doctor appointment. She is 10lbs 14oz now! She's growing so quickly. After her appointment, we went on a little date with her and Easton. We went to Old Chicago Grill for a late lunch, then to Lowes to walk off lunch and plan an enclosed outside play area for Easton so he can be outside without running to areas he should be, like the road or the woods.

After our date, we came home and watched "Meet the Robinson's" with the kids. Easton must have been pretty tired because he spent a great deal of time watching the movie from the comfort of a laundry basket of clothes that hadn't been folded put away yet! Lol! 


Thursday morning we woke up and planned some weekend getaways for this summer and some vacations for the next year. We had a sweet time chatting about our plans with the kids! On the summer list: The Creations Museum and the Ark Encounter, the cabin and camping! For next year, Chad gets an extra week of vacation so we are considering a chalet in the mountains and a trip to Popaw and Nana's. There was even a little talk of Disney World the following year.

We went out and about with the kids for a couple hours and brought home Tiffany's pizza, which is a treat we all love, well, all but Hudsyn, she ate a sandwich.  After dinner the girls made puppy chow for dessert for another family movie night! This time we watched "Night at the Museum 3"

Watching the movie! 


This weekend, Field Trip Friday was a relaxed one. It is spring break for the public school kids and all the places we enjoy minimal crowds at were sure to be packed so we decided to hit the dollar show to see "Rock Dog"since it didn't matter if it was packed there. 

Easton enjoying the movie! 


Instead of getting snacks at the movies, we decided to get our first ice cream of the year at the drive through dairy barn by our house on our way home!  

Easton was excited about his ice cream cone!


They all were!

Even though it was chilly, Chad and the kids played outside for a couple of hours. I stayed inside with a sleeping Henlsey and tired Easton. 

Playing around the world, Chad is still the reigning champion! 


Greysen and Maezy jumped on the trampoline for a while!

I happened to noticed my peach tree is blooming! It's always so beautiful in bloom!
