Traveling and Visiting

This weekend started off very eventfully. I signed Jack up for preschool next year! I'm not sure who is more excited me or him. Either way I had to wait 7 hours in line to make sure he got a spot, but it was totally worth it when I saw how happy he was when I came home and told him about his new preschool. After that I packed the kids up and made our way up to Chicago. Our first stop was to visit my Aunt Laura and cousins Carissa, Alexis, and William. We all had a fun time playing the Wii, watching Jack do a little break dancing, and taking a walking to the park.

We went up to my parents for the weekend to visit because my sister and Ryan were in town. So sad we didn't seem to get any pictures with them, but we did have a great time. Even though it was a bit cool we made it to the park and got to play outside in the backyard. Jack was so excited because they just put a new addition on the house but haven't filled it with furniture so he had tons of space to wiggle around and a whole room that he thought was his private dance floor!

Jack's Boo-Boo

Jack had his first serious boo-boo! Over Easter weekend he was climbing on some furniture and fell backwards hitting his head on the radiator. He came running in crying and all of a sudden there was blood gushing from his head. We rushed to the emergency room (luckily Nonna and Papa were here and stayed with Alex) and found that it was not as bad as it seemed. They cleaned him up and used a medical super glue so he didn't even have to sit for stiches. Jack took it all in stride, he was most interested in all the machines and medical things in the ER and he was so cute, telling everyone how the doctor fixed him! I'm just glad my baby's ok:)

Easter

We were so lucky to have a lot of our family visiting for Easter AND the kids were agreeable and let us take some cute pics!

After we had our yummy lunch we had a visit from the Easter Bunny. He hid eggs throughout the backyard and Alex, Serenity, Jonathan, and Jack had a great time finding all the goodies. Alex was a little candy monster so we eventually had to confinscate all the candy, which made her very unhappy! But all the kddos had a great time egg hunting and playing together:)

Spending Time with Nonna and Papa

For Easter weekend Nonna and Papa came to visit. We had such a busy and fun time. We went to the park and enjoyed chasing/feeding the ducks. Even though the duck seemed a bit full (they are very well fed) Alex and Jack had a great time. We hosted Easter at our house this year for Jeremy's and my family, so Nonna helped me get all the food ready on Saturday. The kids even pitched in to help make/eat the brownies! We finished up the evening with Easter egg coloring and some play time. Jack also had his first head wound, but check out the next post to learn all about that excitement!
