Spring Break

Spring Break this year was the first week of April. I felt kind of bad for Chase, because it definitely had the makings of a boring spring break for him: dad out of town, mom got strep, and we have a newborn at home. Nana to the rescue! For the first few days of that week she had the boys out and about doing lots of fun activities! In fact, by the end of the night they looked like this:

 They also got these cute matching jammies from Nana- which they were thrilled about. They've started a new thing where whenever we eat dinner at my parents house, they always want to take a bath in her big jetted tub. So we do that a lot and just bring them home in their jammies all ready for bed!

 One day Nana took the boys to the SeaQuest aquarium- an interactive new aquarium that just opened in the mall. They loved it! They got to pet and feed the animals- I guess feeding worms to trout was their favorite! They made an art project and had a great time. They even convinced Nana to take them to Chick Fil-A for lunch after, and convinced her that they each needed a milkshake (I always make them share one).

 Evidence of a fun morning- Hudson refused to nap (which happens sometimes) but I was sick (from strep) and exhausted (from being up multiple times at night with the baby) so I just gave in and said he could watch TV with Chase. I came down to find this- him totally asleep on the couch.

 The next day Nana proposed a different adventure- but they had their own ideas- the train museum! So of course they went to the train museum and absolutely loved it! Papa met them there too and they were all fascinated and loved learning from Papa. They spent a lot of time in the play room, Hudson conducted the train for quite awhile (which makes sense, since he regularly plays "train" and refers to Davis as "our new little passenger").

Meanwhile, I stayed home with this little guy! I generally don't mind just snuggling a baby all day- I think it's really the best! But starting this week I was beginning to wish for warmer weather and wanting to get out of the house more! Ben's flight home on Friday was delayed, so he didn't get home until the early hours of Saturday morning. I was exhausted- and so was he! So we laid pretty low the rest of the weekend. I guess all around the boys had some fun adventures on their spring break- and a lot of "relaxing" and "watching TV" time.
