Spring Break 2013

It's been an exciting week for our family.  Gigi and Papi arrived on Sunday to stay with the girls over spring break and our little nephew Eli was born on Monday!  

Gigi and Papi spent the week with the girls playing games, watching movies, doing puzzles etc.  On Thursday they rode in to work with me and took the Metro train from my office to the zoo.  They hit up the zoo, the butterfly museum and Hermann park.  When I got off of work that afternoon I swung by and picked them all up.  The girls had such a great day they were sacked out all the way home.  Papi said he needed a big ole Budweiser as soon as he got home.  LOL!  It is quite a lot of work taking care of these girls all day, especially in a public place!

On Friday evening, Steve and I had a date night.  We stopped by Kristin and Daniel's to meet sweet little Elias and visit for a while.  He slept the entire time but that was fine with me because I got to hold him most of the time :)  He is so cute and Ava can't wait to meet him.  She said "oh did Elias finally come out of Aunt Kristin's tummy, he was in there for a LONG time!"

Worn out from all the fun

Today we made the mistake of loading up the entire family and going to the rodeo carnival.  What a disaster!  We had to park so far away we may as well have parked in our driveway and walked to Reliant.  Brynn wouldn't stay in her stroller at all so I carried her the entire way and all day at the carnival.  She wouldn't let anyone else hold her.  There were more people there than I have ever seen in one place in my life. Ava didn't get to ride any rides because the lines were so long it wasn't worth it with two little ones.  So all in all, we walked and walked and walked some more and all anyone got out of it was a cute picture of Ava on a horse and probably a rare disease.  Gigi and Papi will think twice about my ideas next time.

In other news Brynn fell off the binky wagon this week.  I'm not being too hard on her though as the little angel has a double ear infection.  If that binky comforts her then so be it!
