Spring Break Day 4&5

Days 4 & 5 were friends days! We had a blast and ended both with a great nights sleep because we were wore out!

Thursday we went to my friend K's to play with Elijah and Bella. You could give those kids 1 thing to play with and they would just be so happy to be together. We played outside most of the day, enjoying the nice weather. Elijah and Izzy played a little bit of everything, soccer, army, bikes, and even more soccer and some baseball. The littles, Bella and Asher, played in a cozy coupe fire truck for most of the day with a little sidewalk chalk on the side. It was such a relaxing day with 4 happy kids. :) After a pizza for lunch, the littles played legos while the boys played Kinect Sports. I left at nap time with 2 happy, exhausted boys and Izzy was pretty sweaty from all of the exercise. I'd call that a successful day! That night Hubby and I were able to take Izzy to church for a worship conference we have going this weekend and it was amazing! It was a super late night for Izzy, and he was pretty emotional by the time he went to be at almost midnight. Oops!

Friday we went to my friend Karli's for lunch and playtime. Her sweet kids are 7 and 9 mo. Haiden and Izzy look almost identical and they have a blast together. Baby O is as cute as a button and she slept through most of our playtime, but Asher finds her very interesting. :) He is always trying to find her binky's for her and is always worried about her. Izzy and Haiden played Wii, jumped on the trampoline, and played boy stuff while Karli and I had a wonderful day of girl talk! On the way home, the boys were talking a mile-a-minute, and of course Izzy was making a plan for next time.

We are so blessed with the friendships God has brought into our lives. Everyone we love isn't just a friend of mine or Hubby's, but our entire family has friends within a family. It is so nice to plan something for Izzy's benefit on Spring Break, but we all got something out of it. As a Mommy, it is so refreshing to spend time with other Mommies and have adult conversation. It is even better when the kids get along so well, you can just let them be and enjoy the laughter.

Hubby has Mid-terms soon, so next weekend is all Mommy all of the time. Tonight I am going to take advantage of a girls night! I've been blessed with terrific friends, but I have also been beyond blessed with a Husband who is so thoughtful and loving that any chance I have, he sends me off without any strings attached to enjoy time away. It means so much especially knowing how hard he works and how much time he sacrifices for school. While I'm off with the girls, he is taking the boys for a guys night with their favorite cousins. They are going to have so much fun and that always makes it easy for any Mommy to leave.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break as much as we did! I will need all of next week to recover! :)
