The Rest of Spring Break

Valerie decided to stay the week with Chloe and have Michael join them rather than going back to Tallahassee for 4 days.  I can't say that I blame her.  Not to mention, having the week off myself, it was truly a pleasant surprise.  I was able to enjoy their company all day as if it were summer time!  Stephen was good about making sure Levi had time with his cousin.

Valerie did sneak in some shopping adventures with her mom.  She knows shopping is one of my least favorite things to do.  But, she did get some good selfies to share.

Chloe sporting her new ears!



Or maybe she'd rather the hat.



Sneaking into the hallway.  What are you two into???
"Who us?  We're just sitting hear having a chat!"



"I'm ready to go out and watch Grandma rake leaves," thinks Levi. (It was an unusually cool, brisk Monday).

 

Yep, I'm a cool dude.



Once the pile of leaves were ready, Stephen put the kids in the middle.



And wallah!  Instant fun!



Okay, maybe over stimulation.



Levi is proud that he is now able to pull himself up.



A selfie with Auntie Valley.



Levi and Chloe rough housing with Stephen.  Oh the ruckus! What fun!







Grandma went up to the church to do a visual stand and piano check. The Triduum is the busiest time for us choir members.  I had gotten new glasses, and my hunch was correct that I wasn't able to see my music!  Wrong prescription!!! Yikes!   Chloe took it all in.



Then she decided she could sing too.  What a natural!



Finally got a shot of Chloe and Levi together for a half way decent pose.



Easter Sunday brought baskets of treats.



Valerie didn't disappoint us with her crazy eggs.  She laughed all day each time one of us opened one. She is quite the prankster.  She put all the green mint M & M's in one egg, so you think, but sneaked in a green sour sweet tart jelly bean that was exactly the same color as well as a green crunch M & M, and a green peanut M & M.  Boy, my mouth was confused!!

How about the exploding egg?  It was so full that when you opened it, candy flung everywhere!

Oh, and the speckled eggs??  You eat a few of the speckled eggs only to realize, they have turned into malted eggs....no wait...chewing gum!  How's that to confuse you!!!! She is too funny.  We laughed all day long as each of us got our own "surprise".  It coincides with her Facebook post.

And lastly, Levi enjoying his time with Charlotte. (Actually this picture is from a couple weeks ago, but forgot to post.  He did enjoy time with the dog though!)



We had a great Spring Break.  It was good to be able to spend time with the kids and enjoy family. :)
Hope you all had a Happy and Blessed Easter.
