Photo a Day: Day 115: Pre-K





Being able to take Addison to pre-k is one of my favorite parts of being on Spring Break. I love being able to be more like a stay at home mom. She likes to show me her classroom, and I love being able to listen to her talk about her life. She showed me her project she made about her family, the climbing toy and her favorite chair. We took photos of her and her classmates and she gave me the sweetest goodbye kiss. I will always treasure the little moments of being able to be in her world if even for the one week that I am off. I am so proud of my little school girl.

Troy-Skott and JR invited us over for a BBQ at their house on Sunday. It was their twentieth anniversary so we felt blessed to spend that day with them. It was a beautiful day so we were outside for a good portion of it. Travis is really walking well now and he was very into Addison. He was copying her a lot. We loved time with our close friends and the cutest little boy in the world.

Josh and Addison let me take a delicious nap on this afternoon. While I slept they played outside. When I got up adorable Addison was playing with her Barbies outside. She took one of them on a very special swing ride. It was so sweet to watch her swinging with her Barbie on a beautiful day.

We finally had a playdate at our house with the Moms with Tots group. It was a perfect night for everyone to come over because Josh was out of town and they could stay as late as they wanted. Since Josh was in Vegas with Eric, Janna brought over some pizzas and we warmed them up at about seven when we realized the playdate was going to keep going. Everyone had a great time. The weather was beautiful so the kids could be both inside and outside. The girls put makeup on as usual. Diane got Fran's baby, Vanessa to sleep. It was a great afternoon and evening with our best friends!

Photo a Day: Day 111: Sleeping with Mom



Josh headed out to Vegas and that meant that my kiddos would sleep with me while he was gone. Since Addy was back from Spring Break she didn't have school the next day we pushed staying up a little later than we should have. We turned the television on and cuddled up. Unfortunately in the end the kids pushed me to the edge of the bed and I had no room to sleep. Spiderman and the big yellow dog as well as Leo were also our bedmates, so I was lucky to get the little room next to Addison that I had. Even through the pain I love sleeping next to the little loves of my life.

After going to Menchies we had leftovers. Unfortunately Q's leftovers got thrown away before he could eat them. So we made a Menchies at home to make up for it. We put cookie dough icecream, brownie pieces, chocolate chip cookie pieces and chocolate on the creation we made. Q loved it and said it was even better than Menchies!

Photo a Day: Day 109: Wrestling with Dad



Wrestling with Daddy is the highlight of Quinton's world. He became the character Break Dance Boy and wrestled his dad with crazy moves. I was the audience cheering on the break dance kid. Q took breaks to put water on his head and rest in between matches. In the end the Break Dance Boy beat his dad with three pins and headed off to take a shower. Winner!
