Sadly spring break has already come and gone! That means we are getting closer to Aaron having to leave us for a while, which I am seriously dreading. The only positive is we are getting closer to summer and that means Connor will be out of school and we can travel around Texas to see family and make the time go by even quicker.
Our spring break was spent mostly at home, with a quick weekend trip to San Antonio. Here's what we did...
March 9, 2018:
As soon as Connor got off school at 3:15, we drove to San Antonio for the weekend. We arrived just in time to eat dinner with with my parents at a restaurant near their house. After dinner and showers, Connor and my mom dyed Easter eggs. They had plans to fill them with confetti the next day {so we could take them to my sisters for Easter} and needed for them to dry overnight.
Someone's ready for spring break!

Our morning started out with pancakes, made by my dad. He makes the best pancakes and Olivia was able to taste them. She was very excited to taste them, as you can see in the picture below.
After breakfast, Connor and my mom started a new tradition. They filled the dyed Easter eggs with confetti while Olivia supervised. He had so much fun filling all of them, except the green eggs. Those are HIS "special eggs" that nobody is going to be allowed to crack on Easter.
"Can I please have some food daddy?"
March 11, 2018:
My mom, sister, Timmy, Ellie, and myself spent the morning/early afternoon shopping for my sisters new house. Once we were finished, Aaron and I packed up our things and drove back home. We didn't get in until close to 7, but because of the time change it was still bright!

I spent the entire day doing laundry and putting stuff away from our trip. It was a pretty boring day for Connor, so I promised him I would take him out the next day.
March 13, 2018:
Aaron started air assault school early in this morning. Since he has been in, we hardly get to talk during the day and he is exhausted when he gets home in the evening.
The kids and I ran a bunch of errands, which took us all day. We went to Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-A, Target, and then the mall. Connor was able to get some of his energy out by playing at both Chick-fil-A and at the mall. He also had fun spending his money and gift card. He bought a foam sword and shield, an Easter craft kit, pajamas, Lego guys, and a kinder egg.
He enjoyed making Easter crafts when we got home.
March 14, 2018:
We spent the day playing at home in our jammies. We don't ever get to do that during the week since Connor has school, so we enjoyed it. I also cleaned the house to get ready for our company that we had over the weekend.
Aaron had to layout all of his gear, so Connor had fun playing with some of it.
March 15, 2017:
I promised Connor we would go to the big playground on post to get out of the house, so we did.
March 16, 2017:
I took both kids grocery shopping with me, which I haven't done in a really long time. I usually do grocery pickup, or only take Olivia while Connor is in school, and now I remember why. Connor wants everything! He won't be going shopping with me again for a really long time because I can't handle it.
She loved apples when she tried them for the first time.
March 17, 2018:
We started our morning with special St. Patty's Day pancakes. Connor really loves the color green now, so I knew he would love them. He also requested green milk, so we added that to the menu as well.
Right after breakfast, our best friends from Italy, Kelsey and Matt arrived at our house. Our boys played, and our baby girls did too. We caught up and hung out at our house until Aaron got home from school at around 4:30. We went to the creek in our neighborhood to get a few family pictures of us {thank you Kelsey} and the boys had tons of fun throwing rocks into the creek and exploring. When we got home, we ate dinner and then watched a movie. It was just like we were back in Italy and hanging out like we always did on the weekends!
March 18, 2018:
Aaron woke up early for school, and I woke up at 8 with Olivia. I made us breakfast tacos, and the boys kept on playing. Except for at bedtime, I don't think they ever stopped! We did a sweet little photo shoot with out girls and then it was time for them to leave. :(
It was the best end to our spring break having our best friends here!
XOXO,
Jenn
