Spring break is over, waaaah!
While spring break isn't really "spring break" for us since Liam isn't yet in real school; he did have his usual two days off preschool and we had friends in town so we definitely lived up the week more so than normal!
Monday! Monday started slow with kissy selfies. Naturally. We had friends over and just spent the day relaxing and playing at home. I rented Big Hero 6 for Liam and his friend to watch, but I missed it because I was too busy styling my shelves. We will have to rent it again because I hear it's really good and I'm not sure Liam and his buddy caught more than 30 minutes of the whole thing here and there!
Tuesday! Tuesday was so fun. We started the morning by having our hardware installed! It took two guys four hours, but they did the entire house and it makes such a difference! It's just about ready for some proper "after" photos! Here's a little sneak peak in the kitchen.
Will came home early because we had a large group of friends coming over for dinner, so we spent the afternoon cleaning and prepping for our guests!
The kids were enjoying the snack platter I had prepared for all the kids pre-party. Liesl kept hogging the tray and Liam was getting so frustrated, but I couldn't help but giggle! She tried to make it up to him by feeding him blueberries, but he wasn't having it. And look at that little pony knot!
One of my best friends, Brettni, and her family drove into town from Mississippi because it was their spring break too, so we got the whole gang together for a fajita fiesta!
10 adults and 11 kids! So far I've hosted a family birthday, a playdate, and a dinner party. I LOVE welcoming friends and family into our home, and I hope they always feel welcome!
We had too much fun eating and playing Cards Against Humanity. OH.MY. Some of those cards, y'all! But it was hilarious!
Wednesday! Wednesday my mom wanted to get the kids for a sleepover, so we decided to meet at the zoo for some fun and then she took the kids from there. Brettni and her family had planned to spend the day visiting old neighbors, but they came down with strep, so her fam joined us for a zoo day!
These kids. Love them!
Feeding the giraffes of course!

I'm so glad they got to join us - it was a chilly, but fun day! We left not long after lunch because Liam was ready to go play at Yaya's. She took the kids and my car and headed west, and I headed east back home....ALONE! I came straight home and put on my robe and didn't leave the house the rest of the day. It was fabulous!
Part 2, tomorrow! And then a weekend recap because it was jam-packed as well! Life surely isn't slowing down anytime soon...and I kind of love it :)
What a fun beginning to spring break! Loving your kitchen. Scratch that. DROOLING over your kitchen. How do you like having the kids mini table in there? I'm debating brining our out of the playroom and putting it in the kitchen, but I don't know if it will be in the way or seem out of place? Also, dish more on Cards Against Humanity, please! I've heard about it but haven't played!
ReplyDeleteHaha - thank you! I LOVE having the little table in the kitchen - Liam eats most of his meals there and Liesl likes to snack at it.Plus it's easier to clean than the big table when he gets crumbs all over it :)
DeleteCards Against Humanity is similar to Apples to Apples in concept, but the subject matter is more...adult :)
Thank you so much for having us over!! The food and friend time was so great! The picture of you and Will laughing is perfect! So glad yall had a good time at the zoo!
