Spring Break with Grandma

We spent the last week enjoying a fun Spring Break with Grandma here! When she is here, ALL the books get read, and ALL the toys take on a new life...basically everything is more fun with Grandma :)








We had a few days of good weather, so we took advantage and headed to the National Zoo! It wasn't crowded, and we got to see a lot of the animals, so it was a great morning. 






The lion was doing a lot of roaring and Aiden thought he was a bit too loud

This kid wants to know ALL the details about ALL the things :)



Following the elephant trail





Before Grandma had even come into town, Eli had sent her a message, asking her if she wanted to go to the Air & Space Museum {Udvar-Hazy} with him. So we had to be sure we found a time to visit! And of course, when Grandma is involved, it usually includes a trip to the souvenir shop :)


Happy kiddos with their fighter jets!


We got our last snow of the season {a respectable 4 inches}, so we got to play in the snow one last time! It lasted a day and then melted, but it was a good last hoorah to winter. And I actually remembered to save some it so we could make snow ice cream!



















After the snow melted, we got some more beautiful weather days, so we spent it going on walks and playing at the park. 







We tried to get a good photo and it just wasn't happening...but we sure did have LOTS of fun with grandma here! We were sad to say goodbye, but look forward to seeing her again soon :)

{iPhone Rewind} :: February

Story time with Daddy

Most of the snow had melted, but a few iced-over piles were still stacked up around the neighborhood...of course my kids would find them :)

Maddie asked to put her art project on the wall next to our Valentine countdown. When I asked Eli if he wanted to put his on the wall too, he picked a spot right next to Maddie and said "Best Friends Forever!"

Getting all the things for potty training!!

"Look, Mommy! You are teaching your 3 baby loves!"  :)

We finally got some warmer weather!

Soaking in the warm February days with as much time outside as we can manage
