Spring Break

I love Spring Break. We went to the zoo, did lots of yard work, planted roses, planted lots of seeds for veggies, herbs and flowers, read lots of books, played a lot, had friends over, went to bed later, baked, and sewed. Nate spent most of his spring break destroying the house, his favorite pastime. I'm having a "Mom's Spring Break" tomorrow when Nate and I will fly out to CA for the weekend for a good friend's baptism. Can't wait!


They wanted to try sleeping together. No way, we thought. They'd never be able to do it. They were too excited to all be in bed together. But we told them we'd give it a try.


They were having so much fun. Nate cried for a minute when we left.



And then we found this.


The girls are taking sewing lessons. They were so excited about the aprons they made.


They each wanted to pose.



After I finished taking the girls' pictures, Nate popped on stage and started to pose. Just noticed that his buttons are off. Oh well. He didn't seem to care.




Nate had an appt. with a doctor up in St. Louis on Friday, so Dave took the day off and we hit the zoo first. Nate was mesmerized with the elephants in this picture. Really, he was mesmerized with ALL of the animals.

I love little girls and their poses. We almost can't talk a picture without one.

I CANNOT believe that they all fell asleep in the crib like that!!!! What a great picture! As for the aprons...I think your girls sew better than I do. Wish I had some lessons, expecially when I was their age! Very cool! Hope you have a nice trip Nate and Melissa! I LOVE the St. Louis Zoo! It's a wonderful zoo- and it's FREE! Doesn't get any better than that! How did the dr appt go?

The picture of them all on the crib is one of the sweetest ever. I could cry. I love it!
