spring break

who needs this?

when you can have this?

this past week i was on spring break and it was terrific!! max and i had such a rip roarin' good time. we hit the children's museum, science center, library, playgrounds, playdates....the whole nine yards. we had a great time. it was nice to be off. i read a lot, slept a lot, exercised a lot!! it was really great. the weather was pretty good...two yucky days but most were super nice. bekah came to visit and we had a huge bonfire at my brothers....chris and i spring cleaned and got rid of loooottttsss of stuff....we went biking, running, walking...i'm not exaggerating, we had a BUSY week. it was a really eventful week....

some pictures from our weekend"mama, go see the dinos again?"

we have a membership to the science center that includes the history museum. he LOVES the dinosaurs. it's so great because we can go for an hour if we want. i'm so cheap, if we paid $28 for the day pass, we would stay til we dropped. but the membership allows me the luxury of going post-nap til close....

i thought this was so cute....too bad i caught the wall seam. it looked so genuine but the camera delayed and he walked away...

the "circles" room at the children's museum. he wouldn't get out of this tire. he wanted to have his snack in the tire...he did. it didn't say "no eating or drinking" in the tire...so i figured we were safe...

max and nina were soaked as usual after the water play...this was what nina did for the first 10 minutes. i was laughing so hard...she just loves being IN the water....
sorry this is blurry. max was taking over my role as the horsey. he walked all around the house with nina as his jockey. this was before they crashed at my brother's house before the bonfire. olga and sasha are in russia. we stayed to keep my brother company on their first night away...we drank cheap wine and had a huge bonfire in his backyard...so fun...

now, back to work...only 2 months till summer vacation....yay!!
