Played outside today...
Shawn before he was covered in dirt. :)
Jason preferred mud today. At least he managed to keep it localized to his hands and knees rather than get it everywhere!

Friday Five - Trip Edition
I had told the boys that we would do something fun each day of their last week of vacation. Today marks the last day of the boys' spring break, and I think they would say we've done just that. We even ended their vacation with a short family trip to Sea World!
The boys go back to school on Monday. It definitely didn't seem like they were off for two weeks! When they return, there will only be 49 days of school left for them. Wow.
~~~
The highlight for Shawn on the trip was eating at a restaurant. The highlight for Jason was that fish in the touch pools nibbled on his fingernails. The highlight for Jack was his discovery of roller coasters. Isaac's highlights were watching the boys' excitement and laughter at the touch tanks and swimming together in the hot tub. :)
~~~
I liked all of that too...

But this was my highlight. I LOVE caricatures of my boys! Besides, you have to admit that this is just pretty awesome.
~~~
We were pleasantly surprised at how well the boys did on the trip, especially our wild boy, Jack. It was the first big trip without the stroller, and although he is known for running in the direction opposite of the rest of us, Jack was great at holding our hands and walking WITH us while we were at the park. It was wonderful.

Scenes like this are what remind you that you vacationed hard in a good way. :)

Mostly Wordless Wednesday - It's Raining!
Jack got to spend a little time playing in the rain yesterday for the first time...
He thought it was the best thing ever!

Mom's Movie Theater
I had told the boys that once I was off work we'd try to do something special each day of their vacation. Our first special thing was a surprise movie "experience" in the living room.
I put up a blanket to help darken the room. On the blanket, I hung up a sign: "Welcome to Mom's Theater. Now Showing: Big Hero 6." They all thought that was pretty cool.
I moved the couch centered to the television and set out a bunch of movie snacks--Mike and Ikes, M&Ms, and popcorn. I even had Isaac go out and pick up some Orange Fanta to drink.
It was a huge success. The boys all hung out in the living room and watched the movie while eating their treats.
It was pretty sweet when, at a particularly touching part of the movie, our sensitive boy burst into tears. It was clear that he was very into the movie.
Once Big Hero 6 was over, we watched Cars, too.
This was definitely a win/win. I had almost as much fun creating the experience as they had enjoying it! :)

| A movie theater?! That's awesome! |

| Baymax! I like Baymax! |

| He does really like Baymax. He carried the pictures around for a long while afterward. |

Tooth Fairy Time Again
He surprised us and lost his left lateral incisor (the one next to his permanent front tooth) today!
I'm fairly certain that the right lateral incisor is loose, too. If he does lose it soon, I don't know how the kid's going to eat with just one of his top four teeth!
