pre-spring break prep

We had a super busy and fun week leading up to spring break! I must say, I think it is perfect timing and I am definitely looking forward to a low key week next week...I think we all need it!


Thursday my Mom and Dad watched Lila and Bennett for a while so I could go to Elise's class Easter party. We had a great time doing an egg hunt and decorating these bunny masks! I know she is really going to miss her class next year; and I am too!! We still have a few fun things to look forward to coming up though...

David and I squeezed in a fun date night on Thursday night. We were invited to a wine dinner with some of the guys (and wives) that he plays golf with. It was fun to get dressed up and do something different!


I am still getting used to my much darker hair...but a nice change (and better for the budget) and I am was happy that deShea made us pose for a picture. We have so few!

I avoided drinking most of the wine at the wine dinner because I knew I had a fun morning ahead of me Friday with some time in Elise's classroom and the Lila and Bennett's Easter party. Elise's class is hatching chicks and I was mesmerized by the egg candling we did Friday morning. We could see the little chick moving around inside of the egg. So amazing! The kids are having a blast learning about and observing the process, and Elise has plans to read more books about raising chicks over the break so that she will be prepared in case we get the opportunity to chick-sit! :)
Lila and Bennett's party was tons of fun and super busy- so much so that I didn't even take one picture! We also did an egg hunt, made thumb print Easter cards, and played games. The kids had a great time!

Friday was the grand opening of Posh in Covington! We are so excited that Jared and Erinn opened a store here and plan on moving back. Looking forward to that! A group of my girlfriends went to the store Friday night, shopped and then grabbed dinner. It was lots of fun and I was so appreciative of the support they showed the new store!

Yesterday morning was the annual Easter Bunny Breakfast at Beau Chene, and we were thankful that we were able to squeeze it in before our first soccer game of the day. It did make for quite a long day, but we wouldn't have missed the breakfast for the world, and are glad we at least got to spend some time there before heading off to the ball field. Kate made the reservations for us and we had a great time catching up with them and watching the kiddos have fun! There were lots of other friends there and I do wish we would have had a little more time, but at least we got to go, right?





Lila and Bennett were super cooperative before hand, posing for pictures!



Lila and Myrt had a great time discussing sandals and chocolate milk! HA!


The balloon man is always a hit!











Fun with friends....



Getting too big to all fit on the bunny's lap! :(


The rest of the day was spent at soccer games. It was pretty brutally hot (already!), but the kids had a great day and good games. Lila was on fire with at least 4 goals, Bennett still loves to play defense, and Elise is getting better and better and we were so proud of her hustle yesterday! Needless to say the kids were wiped and so David and I had them in bed by 7 and then enjoyed a glass of wine and early bedtime ourselves!! What a week!
