This past week, Amelia was on Spring break. She did not attend a camp nor did we go anywhere, but we still made sure that these days off from school were packed with fun and lots of entertainment. On Monday, Amelia came to work with me, which she loves to do, and promptly lost her first upper tooth!
But that did not slow her down to have fun with her friends, Grace and Malcolm, who came over for a play date. Elliot loved showing off his toys and dressing up.
On Tuesday, she lost her second upper tooth. That is two teeth in two days! And like that, she looks like a 9 year old.
Right after work, my little girl and I went to see Peter Rabbit: The Movie at the theater. It was a cute movie and I enjoyed spending this one-on-one time with my firstborn.
When we came home, Elliot showed us his "scuba diving" gear. This kid has an imagination that awes me every day.
By the way, there is never a dull moment, when you have an active 4-year old boy in the house. Right before school, I told him to lotion his face...he also lotioned his hair and everything around his face. And then he wanted to wear his tie for school...why not. His hair looked already slick enough.
For Good Friday, I took off from work while Derrick only worked half a day. After an early lunch, we took the children to the Adventure Science Center in Downtown. It is a science museum for children with lots of hands-on exhibits that the whole family can enjoy. We have never been before and thought it was time to go and check it out. Luckily we purchased the annual pass as it was very crowded and loud and so we only stayed for a couple of hours. (I suggested to another mom that they should give each adult a complimentary glass of wine at the entrance and she totally agreed.)
We often watch the Magic School Bus. So these two were excited to "board" it for a picture.
That evening, we had a picnic in front of the TV while watching a movie. Even the cat loves hanging out with us on family movie nights!
And that concludes our Spring Break. I actually look forward to being back on a regular schedule even though there are merely 7 weeks left until Summer Break.
