Spring Break... Preschool Style

Last week was Spring Break for Porter.
School was out and it was time to play.
(or attempt to keep the kids busy)
We started off the week with Easter.
We did all the usual Easter stuff... colored eggs and our hands, participated in Easter egg hunts, ate way too much candy, and off course... managed to get the an Easter basket/pail stuck on someones head... ya know, the usual.
Once we managed to pry the bucket from Phearsons head we enjoyed a great Easter Sunday with family and friends. Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures with all the activity... Easter bunny, church, parties, barbeque's, and work. However my brother in law did manage to capture on video one of the highlights of the party. I mean what would a good family get together be without the boys being a little crazy with the kids right? Rosenlof Extreme Easter
(Ryan pushing Porter)
The rest of the week was spent having fun and trying new things. Sort of a "staycation".
Our goal= be thrifty, spend time together and have lots of fun!
We did some of our usual "fun" things, such as... nRound Table Pizza Family Night
nChick-fil-a
nDougnuts
nVisits to grammy's house
But we also tried a few new things too. Like...
Bowling
Tons of fun!!

Minature Golfing

Dad Showing Porter the basics and then showing off his own skills. (Not sure why Ryan's back looks so broken in that first pic) Porter was loving it! Phearson, on the other hand, just kept getting frustrated, growling out loud and hitting the bushes and ground with the golf club. (Completely inappropriate public behavior but totally hilarious.)

We tried a few new hair styles

And went on lots of bike rides
Porter also learned how to use an empty soda can on his bike tire to "make it sound like a motorcycle" from his Dad. (He rode for hours!)
Awww, the simple things!

We saw a fun Movie

And explored the neighborhood All in all it was a great week!

(And thanks to a few gift certificates/cards, practically free!)
