My Girls: Twice The Fun: spring break

Olivia and Violet were on spring break last week. They went to their school's childcare program on Monday and Tuesday, stayed overnight at their friend Sylvia's house on Wednesday (Sylvia's mom even took them out for donuts!), helped Dad run errands on Thursday, and went to a movie with Dad on Friday.

Unfortunately, I had to work all week! After I was done with work on Friday, we headed out of town. We spent Friday night and part of Saturday at my parent's farm. The girls had a ton of fun making balloon animals at Grandpa and Grandma Thronson's. Their favorite thing to make was a hummingbird; they made so many that we ended up with a garbage bag full of them! They also enjoyed baking lemon bars with Granny and playing outside in the yard. They were pretty tired out from all the activity!

We spent part of Saturday at the Suchy farm also. The girls enjoyed driving Grandpa's tractor, running around outside, and helping Grandpa, Uncle Joey and Dad haul away some tree branches. They also thought Grandpa's hard boiled eggs were pretty cool, he boiled them with the brown peel from an onion so they looked pretty neat!

On Easter Sunday, we went to church, had a nice visit with Jamie's grandparents, then went to my sister Rhonda's house for a delicious meal. Grandpa and Grandma Thronson were there as well. After we were done eating, the kids realized the Easter Bunny had come!! Olivia and Violet didn't waste any time, they RAN around the yard searching for eggs. Some of them were pretty hard though, so they had to search for awhile!! They had a fun day and enjoyed spending time with their cousin Emma.
