We ordered mulch for tomorrow to put down while the kids are at school. It got delivered early and so we ended up getting half of the front yard done with Brooke and Alex’s help. After grabbing dinner out the kiddos decided to have some fun playing in the mulch and Alex got very very dirty.
These two cuties did a good job on their spring school pictures!
For my birthday this year I asked AJ to take me to see one of the two showings of Swan Lake when it was being performed during the Virginia Arts Festival. It was a wonderful and interesting evening. The ballet was absolutely beautiful. We had dinner and then AJ accidentally fell asleep twice during the first half just for a quick minute he said (he had gotten up at 5am that morning). He said he really enjoyed the ballet except for the part for when ‘they just kept dancing, and dancing, and dancing’ but commended them for ‘the fastest death scene you’ve ever seen’. On the way home AJ was accidentally speeding on the freeway and got pulled over. When he was asked he told the officer we had been seeing Swan Lake for my birthday. The officer gave AJ a warning as his birthday gift to me and we were off to home and bed.
Brooke really wanted to go on a hike so we drove to FLSP. Alex was excited at first but then dragged his feet and whined the whole trail. We got back to the parking lot and I put him in the stroller because Brooke still wanted to hike and then I pushed him on another trail. After a picnic lunch I got talked into going to the beach side where I decided I had enough and laid right down in the sand. The kiddos had some fun burying my feet before we headed home for nap.
Alex decided today to skip his first nap and played in his room during nap time instead. Even though we both tried multiple times to get him to sleep he would have none of it. So we shifted bedtime 30 minutes early. Alex fell fast asleep and was snoring during storytime.
