A Taste of Spring


We had some beautiful weather last weekend with the temps staying in the 70s most of the time. It was also a three day weekend since the kids' school was closed Friday for parent/teacher conferences. Chris and I have been working so much lately that we just decided to be kids for a weekend and play as much as we could. We went out to eat and sat on patios. We went to hockey practice, practice skate, and a hockey game. We played in the sand and in the water. We even went swimming (indoor at LT Fitness). We had so much fun that we didn't want the weekend to end. We got a little taste of how fun it is going to be this spring with two little boys!


It's Valentine's Day "season" and that means a new batch of gel clings to play with. They didn't last as long as the ones we had at Christmas. Mr. Ben has already shredded them. Good thing it's cheap entertainment.





The patio at Blue Fish in Allen at Watters Creek.



The kids had fun with the chopsticks.



I'm ready for the green to be green. Picnic lunches and such.


Haircuts for the boys.

I love you


Ben is doing a lot better than Sam did with the haircuts. I had to hold him in my lap though to tame the stranger anxiety.


Haircuts are no problem for Sam now. He wishes they would last longer so he could keep playing the video games.


Sweet baby face.


Look who's playing with trains.


The Village at Fairview has an awesome "beach" area. Beach volleyball, horseshoes, and bean bag toss areas along with a playground and plenty of sand and toys for the kiddos.


Ben has only been walking for about a month and a half so it took him a while to get used to walking on the sand.


Filling buckets with sand. Endless hours of fun.





If you look close, you can see a handful of sand he threw over his shoulder.




No wait for the patio at Glorias. Not sure why because it was gorgeous outside. See the water fountain in the background?


There's no way you can keep kids away from this.


Patterns and colors and water to splash!






As soon as Benny got a good face full of water he had had enough.

A change of clothes and we were off to the hockey game. We got the kids to bed around 10pm that night and they slept until 9:40 the next morning. I could get used to this!
