Spring Break!

Even though I am a stay-at-home-Mom and Gavyn doesn't go to school, the past week has been much like a Spring Break for us. Evan has been staying home with his Mom who is off from teaching for two weeks, and Gavyn and I have been doing lots of traveling and visiting! The weather has been so great that we have also been on lots of walks. On Thursday we went up to the suburbs and had a picnic lunch with my Aunt Dar (lovingly known to little ones as Auntie Dot) and visited her work, which was also where my Dad had worked, and visited Nana at her work too! That evening we had dinner with a friend of mine that I used to work for, Lisa. She is expecting a little girl in May and Gavyn did a test-run of all her toys!

Dad was pulling me really fast!

Yesterday morning we went to the first "Farm Breakfast" at Prairie Fruits Farm. This is a farm that makes goat cheeses and had breakfasts and dinners made with all local foods. As an added bonus we get to see all the goat kids, some of which were just born! Last night we had some of our friends over for dinner: Evan and his parents, Mark and Stephanie, and another of Gavyn's friends Madison and her parents Adam and Haley. I love getting the little ones together just so they can socialize and be around each other. Personally I benefit from talking to some adults! Granted we talk about our babies, but at least its conversation. The kids did a great job sharing and playing and eating!

Friday morning we went and saw Vicki and Zack and had a great time playing in their basement and going to the park! While the boys spent a good amount of time doing their own thing, they also played together and Gavyn certainly looks up to his older friend. When we left Gavyn was asleep in two minutes.

I also got one room painted with a third coat and finished yesterday, and started on the kitchen. That is two rooms down, three to go. John is working on finishing up the family room today and next weekend we hope to be nearly done! Hopefully I'll be able to put a before/after post up!
