Our yard was clear! There was new grass poking through! It felt like spring! And then...it snowed last night. Not just a cute little dusting. Oh no, this was a dumping of heavy, wet snow. The kind that caused multiple cars to get stuck in our neighborhood this morning. BUT! But, but, but...snow this time of year generally doesn't stick around for long. In fact, the snow on our driveway and sidewalk is mostly gone, and the pavement is somewhat dry. That right there gives me hope that spring is right around the corner. Plus, the temps in the high 40's that we should be seeing in a few days. :)
It was spring break for the kiddos this past week. There was some gatherings with friends, some reading, some screen time, some arts & crafts, and a whole lot of me, pulling my hair, wondering why the week was going so slowly. I took Friday off to spend with the kids, as a farewell to the vacation week. We started the day with a yummy breakfast at IHOP, and then headed out to the Mall of America where each kid was able to spend some gift cards, and burn off some energy walking around.
G and I ended our visit there with the Fly Over America attraction. It's similar to the Soarin' Around the World at Disney, but so much closer! We had a blast flying all over the regions of the U.S. They have a temporary Fly Over Canada ride, too, so we're hoping we can catch that the next time we're at the MoA. (Ava didn't want to give it a try, so she ended up babysitting our bags, ha.)
Pria's reaction to this stuffy beagle was very interesting. She was sniffing it like it was a real dog, and even lifted her paw to touch it.
(IYKYK...Pria doesn't acknowledge any toys. At all.)

I am looking forward to both kids being back in school next week. But, I do have to say...not having a million activities each night to drive them around to was a great relief. Lots of time spent at home, which is wonderful!
