Spring Break 2018

Our spring break actually started on Thursday afternoon, when the girls had a half day of school. We have had one of our friends stay with us this week while her parents had a little getaway.  
Friday morning we (mom + 5 kids) went to the Children's Museum of Wilmington for their Easter egg hunt and Easter crafts. It was a fun morning!

 Saturday afternoon we stopped by Lewis Farms for some ice cream.

Sunday was EASTER - we had a wonderful day remembering all Jesus has done for us, celebrating this with our church family, lunch with friends and the rest of the day with neighbors, friends and family. It was just beautiful out!

We met friends at Wrightsville Beach on Monday.  It was beautiful! Benny & Lily even made the Star News. Wren & I are in the background of this photo.

Tuesday morning was a big kid date to Greenfield Lake Park and then a treat at Brooklyn Cafe. Most of our afternoons were spent outside in our backyard or at an area park.  We tried to hit as many parks as possible this week.

Wednesday we had BSF in the morning, biked and ran to the park in the afternoon, and went bowling with our Community Group that evening. 
The kids had endless hours of fun finding caterpillars.  They also made caterpillar houses and are still feeding them fresh leaves.  We even have three chrysalis's now.  Can't wait to see the moths & butterflies! 

Thursday morning Benny started swim lessons for the month of April. Unfortunately this was the only smile. After this photo he decided he did not want to be in the cold pool for 30 minutes. Hopefully this Tuesday is better.

After swim lessons we headed to the downtown library, checked out new books (we've done LOTS of reading this week), played outside and enjoyed a picnic lunch with daddy.



Friday morning we met a friend at Chick fil-A for breakfast and then met other friends at another area park (I told you... I think we hit SIX different parks this week!). It was really a great week. Even though typing all this out sounds crazy busy, it was relaxed and enjoyed by all! 

We ended the week by make-your-own-PIZZA for dinner Friday.

Every now and then I come and catch up on all the Flaming news! You are most likely my friend the busiest season of life but somehow you are the only one who manages to continue to document it. WOW. You've always been amazing like that! I'm so inspired. Miss you!
 
Wren's smile in that last photo just melts my heart! I cannot remember how I found your blog, but I absolutely love it. Blessings to you, your husband, and all those beautiful babies!
