Spring Break...All the Feels

    Our spring break didn't start off quite as we had planned it but that doesn't mean it's ruined! Monday and Tuesday have both been rainy which means Daddy had to take the car to work which left us car-less until after lunch...I don't know about any other mamas out there but if we don't get up and going in the morning, my energy level plummets and the likelihood of getting five kids out for an adventure in the late afternoon by myself is less than likely to happen. We took the babes out to lunch before dropping Kaleb back off at work. Lunch was....let's just say...woah. Everyone was fighting over the one beverage I purchased for them >mistake number one< and the whining was off the charts. I thought "Holy moly, what the crap is going on right now?!? Do we need naps? Do we need time outs? How are we going to recover from this?!" I decided to risk it...will it rain? Who cares...Will everyone whine and cry? Who cares...Will Sawer flip a lid switch because the chances of his clothes getting wet after the rain are like 100%?? Who cares.... TO THE PARK WE WENT!

    It ended up being a really fun afternoon and it was just what the babes needed! A little sunshine and fresh air goes a long way! It may have been humid and a little hot but we had the playground pretty much to ourselves and there was no bickering or whining and it was nearly two hours of Heaven.

Sunshine, Fresh Air, and Handfuls of Fuzzy Caterpillars

    We spent part of our Friday off getting some house projects a little closer to finished but of course it couldn't be all work! So we headed out and met up with my sisters to go for a little hike and it was perfection. The weather was gorgeous and the fresh air was so good for all of us!

     The older three loved running the trail, especially the switchbacks. They took turns running as fast as they could around each bend until the boys got side aches ha! But that only temporarily slowed those wild boys down.

Those freckles are my favorite!

OF COURSE Sawy boy brought a truck to drive through the dirt, naturally.

 Finding caterpillars was definitely the highlight for the babes.

The boys were so excited to bring them home and they've been taking very good care of them.

Harper was all about it until it pooped on her. Can't say I blame her!

You can find this baby sling HERE. This print is no longer available but there are plenty of amazing fabrics to choose from!!

We had so much fun and spring break is just getting started! So many more adventures to come in the next week!
