Oh What Fun We Have Had On Spring Break...

Oh What Fun we had on spring break....I wish spring breaks could last longer and can't wait for summer....I love being home from work and my baby being home from school so we can see what new adventure awaits us! During spring break we spent only one day at home tidying up and running errands, every other day was spent finding new museums to go to and going to playgrounds with friends.

On Tuesday we found this really new cool indoor playground to go to in Morrisville. It is actually a place that makes the big wooden playground sets and inside their warehouse they have big swing sets and playhouses and inflatables. Sydney thought this was the coolest place she has ever been, For 7dollars they could play all day and they even have picnic tables inside that you can pack a lunch or take snack breaks....Can't wait to try this again when the weather is too hot to go to the park.

Ready....Set....Go....Racing to the finish

Love this face.....I think the slide was little faster than she thought...

Last time down the slide to end out a wonderful day....then we were off to enjoy a scrumptious lunch at Cracker Barrel.....One of Sydneys favorites because she loves to play "her version" of Checkers while we wait for our food......


On Wednesday Sydney and Mommy had Movie Day....we went to see How to Train Your Dragon in 3-D...Sydney loves to go to the movies...she always has to have "Chocolate Crunch" or nestle crunch bites with coke and eats most of Mommy's popcorn....So needless to say we have lunch at the movies full of junk food and sit back and enjoy the show.

Our next adventure was off to check out a new children's museum in Wilson, Imagination Station Science Museum. It was a small museum but they had really great exhibits and a few reptiles upstairs to see. We took Rufie along on this adventure....Sydneys favorite part of this museum were the snakes and turtles upstairs....Especially the one snake that every time Sydney would look at him in the tank and make a noise, the snake would stick out its tongue and hisssss....Syd got such a kick out of this and it really freaked Mommy OUT!!!

This was an exhibit where you would pick an animal such as a turtle and you would see how was faster you or the turtle....their were other things that she could not outrun like a jaguar and a horse.....

Sydney and Rufie.....inside the big mouth!!!

These were different levers, some with long ropes and some with short ropes to show how much force was needed to lift the weight.

The biggest snake I have ever seen and never want to see again.....Rufie swore this snake was not real because it never moved the entire time we were there....no matter how much she banged on the glass...she didn't understand the Do Not Tap Glass signs placed all around.....hahaha

One last picture for Mommy before we finish off another great day....Now off to McDonald's for some YUMMY ice cream!

To finish up one awesome week, the girl scouts went to Frankies Fun Park as one of the events there were able to attend with their cookie money. Sydney ABSOLUTELY LOVES THIS PLACE!!! This is somewhere that her dad takes her during the summer and they race the gocarts. At Frankies they have lots of video games and two large climbing fun zones and since her dad never lets her to the climbing gyms because he says there are too many big kids in them when they go, I said lets do these since the place was not very crowded. Sydney chose to do the Spider Web and once she got up to the first floor of it she wanted OUT!! It was made up of very tight rubber bands and she had a really difficult time climbing and squeezing thru the bands. So after she pulled her self out of the web, we played some video games and then headed out to the bumper boats....she really loved this because she loves anything with water. She got a kick out of shooting the other players with her water guns and I think she rode the boats like three times. She also really liked playing in the Fun Gym which had slides and tunnels to climb thru. It was a great day and all the scouts got to enjoy a pizza party for lunch.

She is so over this spider Web.....off to the next attraction.

Sydney is aiming to win...she is gonna get ya with her water shooter......

Girl Scout World Thinking Day

This Saturday our girl scout troop celebrated "World Thinking Day 2010". This was an International festival where each troop in Franklin county was responsible for a country. Our troops country was Italy. The girls worked very hard on developing a display board with information about Italy such as how many people lived there, favorite foods, and what the kids did for fun in Italy. Also they had to present a craft for the girls to make, and they did the Italy flag made with red,white, and green pasta noodles. They also had biscotti for the girls to try which was a food from Italy as well as a game that children in Italy play which was similar to Red light, green light hear in America. Sydney really enjoyed this festival, in fact I was amazed at how intrigued she was, she would look intently at each board, wanted to make each craft, and HAD to try each countries different food. It was a very fun and learning day!!

Easter Egg Hunt with Sydneys Classmates

This week I had the enjoyment of going to Sydneys kindergarten easter egg hunt with her classmates. I jump at the chance to attend any event that Sydney has at her school because I am so thankful to have a job that allows me the flexibility of participating with Sydney at her school, and thankfully she is still at an age where she always wants mommy at school. My heart truely dreads the day where Mommy is an embarrassment at school....so for now I jump at the chance to volunteer with Sydneys class. It was so much fun watching all the children fun and find eggs, some really had the game down and where grabbing as many eggs as they could find, and my Sydney was looking for "pretty eggs", and opening eggs to find they were all empty!! The goal was for the children to find eggs and then we went back into the classroom and the children practiced counting all their eggs and when the numbers were writtin on the chalkboard they had to look at the numbers to see which number was the largest to know who found the most eggs.

Here are some pictures from the egg hunt:

Happy Easter!

Sydney and I shared a wonderful Easter with our family. It is a family tradition that every holiday we have lunch on sunday at Uncle Tim's shop with the family and we did this after church on Easter sunday. Well, Sydney and I didn't quite make it to church on Sunday because we had a wardrobe malfunction on sunday morning when we were trying to get Sydney in her Easter dress. I had found this beautiful easter dress but failed to try it on because "I just knew it would fit" but I couldn't even squeeze it together to zip so unfortunately we missed church on Easter sunday and I had no photos of Sydney in her easter dress....:( Afater lunch we always have an easter egg hunt with all the kids, and that is always alot of fun to watch especailly year after year as the kids get older they seem to get the idea of finding the eggs and really are excited about what is inside. Sydney did so well, she found lots of eggs and was very excited that some of the eggs had money inside. After the egg hunt we went home and I relaxed on the couch and Sydney played some computer games.....Just nice to get out of the 90degree weather we had on Easter Sunday.

The Easter Bunny has been....

Sydney is very exctied about the Princess Tiana doll that Easter Bunny brought her.

"Oh cool Mommy....finger nail polish"

She is getting ready to tear into her chocolate bunny...YYUUMMYY!!!

She wanted me to take a pictuere of how princess Tiana's dress lights up....her favorite part of the doll...

Getting ready to ride in the car behind the golf cart...all the kids togetherr on easter sunday....I absolutely love Hunters face in this picture!

Trying to get all the kids pictures together with Rufie before heading out on the hunt.

Sydney is in hot pursuit of some Easter Eggs

I am preety sure she is going for that hot pink egg. We had to talk about the goals of easter egg hunting because when she did her hunt with her kindergarten class, she would run and skip over lots of eggs to pick up certain color eggs, I explained to her that the goal is to just collect eggs no matter what color because they all have candy. But she wanted just pink and purple eggs, "Girly Color eggs".
