This week my husband is on Spring Break and so begins a week of divide and conquer parenting, one of my very favorite things. He had a bunch of un-fun errands to run today, so he took Bub (no spring break for him!) to school while I get to hang out with my best girl and buy last minute things for everyone Easter baskets, (including my husband as we still get baskets for each other.)
I’ve got several things to do with just Bub, including a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party and an Easter egg dying playdate, both of which are considerably harder to manage with the little brunette tornado in tow.
AND, as if I planned it that way, the kids have their dentist appointments on Friday so we can all go together and spend some quality time listening to the hygienists tell Bub that he’s frightening all of the other patients, so if he could just take his freak out down a notch, everyone would appreciate it.
We’ve also made a list of fun things to get done, like starting a little container garden (I’m mostly excited about the cute garden stakes I found,) and maybe a little day trip later in the week. You know, because nothing will be crowded while half of the world is on Spring Break. (I’m lobbying for a trip to the corner park, because crowds make me twitchy.)
Of course we have Easter this weekend, which means lots of spoiling from the grandparents, and Easter egg hunts galore.
What’s on your agenda for the week?
Fun that you and your husband get each other Easter baskets! That reminds me, we need to pick them up for our kids!!!
ReplyDeletethat reminds me...I need to order more easter baskets!
ReplyDeletePlease let me know how that container garden works. We live in an apartment and I miss my garden.
We are going to Northern California for the week! Very excited
You are too adorable with trading baskets. You probably do stockings for each other too, huh? I'm getting a special basket for my husband because his birthday falls on Easter this year. I'll be the only one without a basket on Sunday...first world problems, I know.
ReplyDeleteMy girl's spring break isn't until the 9th so a very normal week is planned for us until Friday where we kick off birthday weekend! Date dinner on Fri, Angels game on Saturday, and Easter brunch on Sunday. Fun, fun.
Oh yes, we do stockings. Ours are bigger than the kid's! My husband takes his holiday gift giving very seriously.
DeleteP.S. I want to know about the container garden too! Tutorial please!
ReplyDeleteWe had spring break last week, and it was a blast. I'm thinking I might still sneak over to the pool with Tyler today. :)
ReplyDeleteThe weather is perfect this week! My husband has been going everyday.
DeleteWe have Spring Break next week, which means Grandma has the kids All. The. Time. ugh LOL Except for one day, my gracious sister is taking all of them to Legoland.
ReplyDeleteOur Spring Break is next week and we have nothing planned but I couldn't be happier. Though we are going to stay in Newport for Easter so that should be fun!
ReplyDeleteI Love the photos! We're laying low this Spring Break...but definitely celebrating Easter with brunch and some fun activities for the kids
