Spring has sprung...

Today ended spring break. It went entirely too fast, as always. Didn't it used to be 2 weeks when we were kids?

This is how Hayden and McKenna kicked off Spring Break. He called it her spa day, but before Daddy freaks out, consider that he was charging her-- typical Hayden...

Then, with the upcoming move, I had a plan...clean up and clear out. So, the first three days were spent packing up winter clothes (won't need THOSE in Hawaii) and clearing all of our bedrooms of stuff that we didn't absolutely need or LOVE. (Sabrina pointed out that she LOOOOOOVED it all! Sorry, babe...what exactly is the purpose of the "blue box"? It holds all of your blue stuff?) One day I enlisted help...I thought maybe an impartial third party may help Sabrina cut some of those ties...and they did get a lot done! Thanks Melanie!

We took a day off and went to a hands-on science museum in Pirmasens with some friends...the kids had a blast checking out all of the displays. But, I think the tall slide was the favorite:

Friday we attended a going away party for the Post kids, as they will be leaving here in a few weeks. It was the perfect day to be out running around with squirt guns, and they had a blast! They sure will miss their friends.

Another fun photo op of spring...McKenna is 4 1/2, yet has never done well with Santa or the Easter Bunny...this year with some maneuvering...and under much duress, I got this great picture. The consumate professional model, you'd never know she was stuck to my leg, and I had to peel her off and put her on the bench just moments before!

I so look forward to spring, even with the two weeks of sneezing and itching eyes. At least I get to hunt for the perfect Easter dresses, and this year was no exception...It's no easy task finding matching dresses with the age difference between my girls. I got so lucky with these! Here are my little sweeties on Easter morning. Maybe I shoulda waited until the sun moved a little...sorry McKenna...

And McKenna actually took this one of me and Sabrina. She's a natural!

Well, that's a week's worth of news and hope you enjoy the pictures. It's never easy celebrating a holiday without daddy, but we'll have him home soon. Happy Easter and blessings of joy to all of our family and friends...we miss you, too!
