Nearing the end of spring break!

It has been a fun filled week to say the least!  Sunday after church, Gareth and I took the kids to the National Zoo.  We had planned to meet up with friends.  They haven't seen the kids in a few years, and never met Liam.  They don't have kids themselves, so it was very sweet of them to pick the zoo.  Funny enough, neither of us women, while we were planning remembered the Cherry Blossom festival.  We have lived here so long that we don't even think of these things.  Needless to say, it took forever to get there, was VERY crowded, but all in all, we had a great day!!

Monday, I took the kids, with the help of my mom and friend Peggy, to get their teeth cleaned.   Peggy's daughter goes to college a few hours away, so we drove up to her to have her do it.  The kids were great, love her and it was cheap:0)

Tuesday and Wednesday, we laid low, and then Thursday, we met my sister, her husband and their 5 kids at a great park mid way between our houses.  The kids had a great time.  This place had a wild life exhibition.  We saw buffalo, a bear, eagles, etc. they loved it!!  It also had a petting zoo. Luckily, we didn't go in.  I don't do well with animal germs.  (and Alex still wants to be a vet, go figure).   We then drove to my sister's house and spent the night there.  The kids had a great time  and on Friday, my friend D that has moved close to my sister brought her two children over to play.  We had a house full, but the kids had a blast.  I love that my sister is only 3 hours away now and my kids can see there cousins more often.

Our egg hunt was canceled for today, so we are just hanging out before running errands.  

Tomorrow, we are heading to church and then to my moms. I am hoping for a pretty laid back day.   I LOVE Easter. It is my favorite holiday.  I hope that you all have a very wonderful Easter!!!
