Most of Spring Break

No school last week.  Again.  At the risk of sounding old, they seem to have A LOT of time off these days!!  On Monday, I decided after a year hiatus to take them up to Carousel Mall and see how Abbey did.  She had such a hard time there going into stores and I had to get a couple of MAC items and return shoes.  And I brought the wrong shoes.  Sigh.  We went through Macy's and got what I needed and all were fine, but Abbey never had a problem with Macy's really.  Then we got into the mall and she loved it.  I steered her into a store and she was....FINE!  She walked around and was going ooo aaa pretty dresses.  She LOVED it.  By the time we got to the Disney Store, she was still in a great mood.  I let them pick out a shirt and tableware piece each and told them it was part  of Easter.  Adam said, "I know, Mom."  Five going on fifteen.  Of course, Miss Ellie was so good the whole time.  She got her first Disney plush...a Minnie in pink :)

On Tuesday, it was Me day.  Bobby came out to see the kids and I got a pedicure and drove to Syracuse to have Indian food with Tammy, something I do not get enough of!  On Wednesday, we met Adam's schoolmate Hunter and his Mom Stephanie and little Grayson at the Kidz Club.   Stephanie and I clicked earlier in the year and had coffee a few weeks ago.   She's local, not typical Trinity.   Adam was shy... His new thing is shy and he can't figure out how to approach people.   His teacher says he seems to over think and hangs onto things from weeks in the past where other kids his age barely remember yesterday.  Apparently he remembers feeling hurt and has a hard time trusting.  Hmmm wonder where my kid gets that.  Sigh.

Ellie had a blast!

Adam and Hunter played so well together once Adam got over his initial hump.  This kid has got the funniest faces.  His Mom is also very animated.

Little Grayson.  One of the reasons she sought me out is because he's 18 months and a terror and she wanted to know how I stay so calm when Abbey loses it.  Ha.

Oh, my Abbey just loved it.

Then on Thursday, we went across the street.  We hadn't been in a long time. Both kids needed hair cuts.  Abbey did AMAZING!  She is so grown up now.  She just got a trim as she wants "Rapunzel" hair.  Then she sat still as Erin gave her double french braids.  She loved it!  It was nice to spend a couple of hours over there like we used to.  Adam and Daniel have basically grown up together.
