Back to life, back to reality

After we got home from the Bahamas, it was right back to daily life! It was kind of rough having oto wake up and make our own breakfast and not be on the beach, but we managed ;)

Both of the kids finished up their basketball seasons. We were so glad we were home in time to see their last games! It was so much fun to watch them this season.


We took a few more naps to catch up on our sleep and our snuggle time....


Shortly after we got home, we celebrated Nick's 36th birthday! Me and Tessa made him a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Tessa was more than happy to help clean the bowl :)
Right before cutting the cake, we noticed that somebody had swiped some frosting off of it. At first, nobody would fess up, but then we figured out it was Tommy. His answer was, "I was hungry and I just couldn't stop myself!"  


The kids got their spring pictures back and they were so good! I'm super cheap and didn't want to pay $40 for a few big pictures and a billion tiny little pictures that everyone will eventually throw away. So I took a picture of them with my phone--ha!

 We also had their Spring Fling family fun night. They LOVED it. We have fun every year. Last year we had to skip out on hair color and face painting because we didn't have enough time. But this year, they wanted to do that right away! Tessa chose purple hair and an emoji face paint.


Tommy wanted blue and orange hair (go Broncos!) and tiger face paint. 
 They were so excited to have their hair colored (I think it made them feel really grown up). They played a bunch of games and used their tickets to "buy" their prizes. Nick bid on a silent auction item and ended up winning a night at a hunting lodge. I asked when we were going and he politely let me know he had planned on it being a guys trip.....RUDE. The lodge looked really nice and was picturing myself relaxing while he hunted, but he wanted a hunting buddy for the whole trip. So I'll stay with the kiddos while he has a guys weekend....eventually.

We had spring conferences and got good reports on both kids!  We actually usually end up giggling because they talk about the kids being well behaved--they're certainly not that way at home! Tommy's teacher said he's really come out of his shell and very social in the class. Never would've seen that coming--he was SO shy in preschool! He's doing really well in reading; needs to work in math a bit. Tessa's teacher surprised us and asked if she didn't like coloring. We let her know she LOVES to do anything art related at home. She was really surprised and said she seems to not enjoy that at school. She said Tessa is very quiet, but still friendly and gets along with everyone. We were so glad to hear that they're both doing well. We love our school and all of it's teachers!

We've had a busy spring season, but so far it's been lots of fun!
