Spring Break 2011

As I sit here at school today I am missing my little buddy terribly and wishing I was still on Spring Break. We had a great week just hanging out together and enjoying a little warm weather. We headed down to Chanute on Tuesday with Kiki and Hadley to spend some time with Grandpa and Grandma Herron. We were so lucky to have great weather and were able to spend most of our days outside. Briggs is such an outdoors man, he would be out from sun up to sun down if he could. We got to make good use of the princess jeep and motorcycle the kids got for Christmas. Briggs loves the jeep because it goes fast, I love the fact that he is driving a jeep that is pink and says "Glitter and Glamour" on the back. So manly! It takes us about 30 minutes to make it a whole block by the time we collect treasures and put it in reverse a million times but it is too cute.

We braved out millionth haircut while in Chanute. A friend of mom's has a salon out in the country so we thought we could lure him in with the cows and tractors. We were right, we had our first tear free haircut! It could have been the cartoons, the new toy story book I bribed him with, or the sucker, I really do not care what it was I am just happy we have turned a corner. If you have ever been in attendance for a haircut in the past you would totally understand why this is so monumental. He looks super cute with his new do and we got a tour of the farm after our appointment. He loved the cows, dogs, horse, and chickens. He also got to go to tiny tots or Doe Doe's school as he calls it for 2 days. He loved being a big boy and playing with all the older kids.

We headed home on Thursday to a few play dates and a slumber party with our cousin Mia on Friday night. I am not sure if I would consider there to be much of a break in the term Spring Break, a 2 1/2 year old boy full of energy and a 8 months pregnant mommy with no energy are not always a good combo. Needless to say I loved spending the week with my sweet little man and now am really looking forward to the summer and all the fun we will have.
