Finally.....Spring Break!


Somehow we finally made through the last few long months of winter (although I would hardly call it that) and we made it to SPRING BREAK! A whole week off without having to juggle work, preschool, babysitters, dance, etc. A whole week to actually make our own rules. First up was Friday night-a sleepover at Auntie Amy's. The kids were so excited. (I was too). Chuck headed down south for a bachelor party weekend and I had one whole night all to myself. The kids each packed thier own backpack and sleeping bags.

Check out the kids with thier styling backpacks!

Saturday I woke up (not too early) and headed to Geneva where we have had a "girls extravaganza" planned. We first stopped off at a really cool store called Gordmans and had fun trying on crazy hair things. Jessica and Lindsay look fabulous!
Then we went to lunch downtown Geneva at a place called Nosh. When reading the description of restaurants, they had mentioned a pear-raspberry mimosa. Well, that was it for us so we went there! Those were some strong mimosas too!
We were feeling pretty good after that so we shopped a little and had to check out a cupcake bakery.
But we passed on those and found a place called Geneva Cellars. We did a little wine tasting and shopping. The blackberry wine that I did puchase is yummy!
Today it was cleaning and time to finally this get guy a haircut. He was so serious the whole time but he looks so handsome.
The girls watched all the while telling me they wanted haircuts but next time I will be sure to find a coupon. 3 haircuts, even for kids, can be pricey.
The sad look on Gracie's face was priceless but I let her watch me get my eyebrows waxed.
After that Grandpa treated us to lunch at Culvers. I'm so glad my kids LOVE thier milk! (Evie is my fashionista and insisted on wearing a headband and a bow)
First weekend of spring break is off to a good start. Tomorrow's agenda is the zoo!
