Fun spring break!

I need spring break every month!

Emily scored some Minnie Mouse glasses after Jacob got his back from the eye doctor because she kept asking for hers...who could blame the girl every member of her family now wears glasses!

I really got into being more creative, cooking more, and playing more during the week. Here we made pancakes and I had all kinds of fun toppings ready to go.

Jacob didn't want pancakes for lunch so he finished his bagel...but then started adding all the toppings!

I also researched a healthy breakfast muffin recipe. Megan helped me smash bananas, measure applesauce, wheat flour, etc.

So the good news is that the recipe was great and I enjoyed a muffin...the bad news is I left them out to cool while we went to the store and when we got back there were ants all over the muffins...ulgh, in the trash they go!

I decided to take a risk and take all three kids to Bonkers by myself...most people would think it should be a no-brainer to take 3 kids places but sometimes it backfires which makes the next time harder to do! Anyways, all three did wonderful and it makes me look forward to summertime!

It's hard to see but there are giant slides and this is the first time Jacob got over his fear and not only separated from Megan but he played hard the whole time, at least 20 minutes doing the same loop of slide, climb, slide, climb, etc.

Emily would have liked to go with the big kids but I made her stay in the toddler area which she loved!

This is Megan's favorite thing to do, swing back and forth!

Megan finished coloring all of her Shrinky-Dink's so we threw them in the oven. The magic in front of their eyes was amazing, they loved every minute!

This is the first time we've let the kids bathe in our big bathtub...now they're hooked! Emily is by far the most adventurous, she purposely pours cups of water on her head and when she moves and gets a little slippery it's almost like she wants to go under...what are we going to do with this girl!

Although Jacob has his issues, we sure love him and he was loving his bubbles!

Emily was actually squealing with delight here, she'd get bubbles on her arms bring them up squeal, then plop them back down!

Megan really liked being able to float around and "swim"! Fun times, when the jets are on the bubbles get a little crazy so it doesn't last long, next time we are going with no bubbles!
