Spring Break: Day 2-3

Well, we had planned to go to the aquarium on Tuesday. Storms in the area quickly changed our plans. So, we postponed our plans for a couple of days. Instead, we ran to grab a quick lunch to get out of the house just for a minute. We brought it back for a picnic and movie in the playroom. In the afternoon, Ethan's friend, Lucas came for a playdate to cure the boredom. They had a great time playing for a few hours. They dressed up as superheros, jumped on Brady's trampoline, did some drawing, and when the cabin fever really set in, we got creative. I took the cushions off and made a pallett on the floor to land.

Rainy day 3 of spring break was just as much fun! By this time, I was the one with cabin fever. So, we went outside in the small window of time that there wasn't any rainfall. They both had so much fun playing in the puddles! Brady has been a little hug monster lately. He hugs everyone and everything, including big brother. I love it!!

We have also been doing lots of crafts this week. All week we have been talking about rain and spring, including Easter. I have a list of activities for him to choose from. And this day, Ethan chose the option of making some crystalized bunnies. He had such a fun time making these. Combining borax and boiling water creates crystals around the shaped pipe cleaners over a period of 6 hours. We also learned, by mistake, that if any of it is exposed to air none of it will form the crystals. I can't wait to find a place to hang these soon!

After puddles and science, off to the mall we went. We went to the Disney store, played in the play area, met the Easter bunny, bought Ethan some new shoes, had some lunch, and rode the carousel. This was a big deal. Up until yesterday, Brady screamed anytime we tried the carousel. He finally decided they were ok and had a great time. 

The rain isn't going to slow us down!!
