Spring Break Days One and Two

It's Spring Break!  Woo hoo!  Unfortunately, rain is forecasted all week long and has forced us to change some plans.  That's OK though because we are grateful for the break!

Day One

Chad took Monday off to spend with us.  Conner had an orthodontist appointment, so we decided to make the best of it.  Chad and the kids graciously let me indulge in my favorite lunch at Cafe Max!  It was delicious.  
While Conner was at his appointment, Chad, Caitlyn, and I hit up Half-Price Books.  I was looking for a few books to read over break.  I ended up with a Karen Kingsbury book.  I am also trying out a different author, Rachel Hauck.  Chad found a book by Eric Metaxas that looks interesting, and Caitlyn found a coloring book to enjoy.  
Once home, the kids asked if some friends could come over.  They had fun playing Scene-It, making music videos, and spending time at the park once it stopped raining.  I am so grateful for sweet friends for the kids to spend time with.
 Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from the day.

Day Two

 The kids and I had high hopes of heading to the Austin area to watch my niece play softball Tuesday night and spending the night.  Unfortunately, we were in the middle of a rain storm, and although it was supposed to slow down for the afternoon, more was promised that evening.  Between having to drive in rain and the risk of the game being cancelled, we decided it would be best to postpone our trip.  Conner had woken up feeling miserable, so it was probably for the best anyway.  He spent most of the day in bed.  Caitlyn had a friend over, and they enjoyed some DIY projects and time at the park.  Since our plans were spoiled, we decided a fun evening out was in order.  We took Caitlyn and her friend to Magic Time Machine!
We sat at the Easter table.

Mario was our waiter.




The girls had fun tracking down autographs from the different characters-Poison Ivy, Mad Hatter, Luigi, Belle.  They also enjoyed some magic tricks and balloon animals.  It was a nice evening out!
