The week after Easter was Spring Break for our family. All five of us were home this week. We worked on house projects and just had fun being together and relaxing.
On Monday we worked around the house. Jay finished putting up the letters and embroidery hoops in Esther's room. I really liked the way this turned out!
Tuesday we did some painting at home, then we went to story hour at the library. The theme for the story hour was balloons so after reading some books about balloons the kids painted with balloons. I have been taking Charlotte to story hour every Tuesday while I have been on maternity leave. Charlotte was so happy Trey came with us this week. Every time a new kid arrived Charlotte would put her on hand on Trey's back and say, "This my brother Trey. He is 5."
Daddy was home during the day to give Esther her first bottle. She sucked it down like a champ with no problems! She now has no problem switching between breastfeeding or taking a bottle of pumped milk!
One rainy day the kids found the boxes of toys I had put away in the basement. You would have thought they had won the lottery, they were that excited about their old toys. They kept bringing all the toys upstairs and then played with them nicely for hours!
If they found a baby toy they would give it to Esther and were so happy when she would watch and smile at the toys.
We headed back to the library later in the week to play with their toys and check out some more books. I love our local library. It has an amazing children's section with DVDs, books and quiet toys like the train table, puzzles, and building toys.
On Friday we met up with some friends at the park. We were able to play for about an hour before the sky let loose and there was a downpour! We ran towards the shelter and ate a picnic lunch while watching the rain fall.
Saturday our Sunday school class had a family outing to go hiking at Roaring Run. This is the first time we have hiked the whole thing with the kids. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time hanging out with other families.
Esther stayed in the Ergo for the hike and did great the whole time. She is so good when we are on the go.
After we got to the waterfalls, Jay took the kids to walk on the rocks down to the water.
The kids had a picnic lunch after the hike. The gnats were too bad at the bottom of the trail for the parents to risk opening their mouths to eat!
All week long Jay worked on painting the table and chairs he built for the kid's craft table. I got tupperware to organize their craft supplies so now they have crayons, markers, stamps, stencils, hole punches, tape, and scissors to make their masterpieces We moved some things around in the play area and crafting is now happening every day at our house!
