Spring Break takes a whole new turn as a grown up, obviously, but also after your kids start school! You can't just pick up and go at the drop of a hat anymore - you have to wait for days off of school. Boo! So, the pressure is on to make the most of it. The twins possibly only have 11 more Spring Breaks under my roof! Yikes.
Well, our besties from Houston, the Askews, came for a visit the first half. We let the kids play while we do what we do best...talk about anything and everything, laugh hard, be mommies, drink wine and eat chocolate. We also shop pretty well together, but didn't get to that this trip. We took the kids to the pond, to see The Lorax, and to eat burgers. I LOVE watching and listening to our kids play and laugh together. It sometimes could bring tears to my eyes if I think about it too much.
The second half of the break we went to Dallas to see the Prices and our other bff's. We took the kids to the Dallas Aquarium and just spent time with those we love, but don't get to see enough. Payson was a trooper with the travel and new sleeping arrangements, but I would expect nothing less. He remains his happy, easy going, lovable self. However, he does pretend he is shy around strangers at first and when they try to talk to him, he averts his attention to something insignificant and pretends to doodle with his finger on a wall or something. Very funny.
Overall, we really had a great vacay with our kids close. Piper declared tonight that the break was "awesome". Success.
And tonight they were in bed at 6:57. Success.
