Spring Break!

This past week was spring break at our house...and what a lovely week to have it! Usually we end up with the short stick on spring break and get a stormy, cold week, but this year we got lucky! You can tell I had the week off by the number of pictures and videos this week! We had lots of quality time together this week and enjoyed the nice weather!

Zane's preschool was still in session during spring break, so he went there on Tuesday and Thursday. It was nice for Mason and I to have some "alone time" those days and we made the most of it! He's such a good shopping buddy! Wednesday we headed to the Ottis house to have lunch and hang out for a little while. They have so much fun together!

We also got the basement finished this week! I'm sure Matt is breathing a huge sigh of relief! It's taken up a lot of his time lately, so now we will use all the extra time to enjoy all of that hard work by using our new room! The bathroom is finished, shelves in the closet, and we even cleaned out our sub-basement!

My parents were in town for a hardware show this weekend, so they came over Saturday afternoon. Aaron and Michele came also. We grilled out and had a nice time just hanging out with them! The next pictures/videos are from when they were here visiting.

The World According to Zane

• Wednesday afternoon Matt came home while the boys were napping so I could go to my hair appointment. When Zane woke up, Matt was outside. He heard Zane sobbing and walking around the house. When he went in, Zane was all upset and when Matt asked him what was wrong he said, "Mommy leaved us. She stayed home with Mason and Zane but now she leaved us." He explained to Zane why I was gone...but even when I got home he said "Mom, I was looking all over for you. You leaved us!" Talk about breaking your heart!
• A couple of weeks ago we went out to eat pizza. Zane had to use the restroom, so Matt took him in. He told Matt to turn around so he wasn't watching him, then he said "Dad, sing me a song." (Any bets on if Matt really sang him a song?)
• I was getting Zane's shoes on one morning and he started itching his leg. He said, "There's a spider on my leg." Then he itched his arm and said "Here too." Then he itched his other leg and said "Here three!"
• We've been checking out double strollers and I told Zane we were going to the baby store and going to try one out with both of the boys sitting in it. He looked at me and said, "That's a great idea!"
