Spring Break

Spring Break is off and going and we have had a great time. We told the girls we were going to have a Staycation and do fun stuff for a week. It is perfect for them because they love being at home. I don't think that is going to last much longer. Here are a few pictures from the week so far. I figured I should blog while I have time. As Sadie says, "Stay-da-daytions" are so fun!!! (shhhhh! We even took the girls to daycare one day so we could both really have a day off. It was great! I watched the entire Today show without interruptions!)



We started out the week with some ice cream. The girls shared Cake Batter ice cream with sprinkles. Perfect for them.

Claire quickly did not want to share anymore. Check out that block. We're working on that!



We celebrated Gabe's birthday on Tuesday. Here's his steak dinner. Yes, he cooked it himself. I know that sounds bad, but he really wanted to cook it himself. He sure didn't want me cooking it. I promise!



I love this one of Claire and Gabe. Spending some time outside.




Silly Sadie. She is getting so big.



We even attempted to fly some kites one day. The Lubbock wind was a little much for our little kites, but the girls had fun running around.




Claire pointing at the kites.



And the week wouldn't be complete without a box from Nana and Big Daddy. Claire is having one (actually I think it was her 3rd peep.) That's Gabe's "Oh great, more candy from Nana" face. The girls loved it! Send the candy any time Nana.


















Sneak Peak

The Gillespie Garden is beginning again... Everyone is getting in on the digging and dirt. Notice that Sadie wants to help, but still wants to be Repunzel and Claire is way into the dirt, but not interested in worms. She says, "No bite!" when she finds one and drops it quickly! Much more from the garden to come...
