Spring has Sprung!!

The weather is warming up earlier than usual and we are loving it!  It is hard to believe we are going in to the last week of MARCH!  We are looking forward to a lot of family time in April with a trip to Durham for Easter and a visit from Granny and Papa in mid-April.  Enjoy a few photos from the last few weeks an d Grace's first Easter Egg Hunt of the Easter season. :)

Wearing shorts to school in March!?!

Wearing green for St. Patty's Day party at school

We were out shopping and she saw this Easter Bunny from across the street.


One night this past week Grace started counting in Spanish.  We had NO idea she knew any Spanish much less that she could count to 10 so clearly!!

Saturday was I did a little Spring cleaning and this little nugget was under my feet the whole time begging to help.  So I gave her the duster and let her go to town.  She loved it.  Guess I should appreciate this now!!


This afternoon we went to the Greek Life Easter Egg Hunt on campus.  The first thing she wanted to do was get her face painted.  She asked for a cat at first by we convinced her that cats were for Halloween.

Pin the tail on the bunny


Time for the 3 and under egg hunt.







Time to see how many she got.  Troy had to help her count because she was more interested in the candy.


She won for her age group!  This is the pretty basket she won!!  I think it was meant to be because the basket had stickers and tattoos and she LOVES both.

After the egg hunt we went to the swing for a little bit.  The weather was great!



She can swing my herself now!!


I attempted to get some video of her swinging but i must have it something wrong on the camera because the quality to terrible and it is sideways.  But at least you can see it!


Back at home and time to show off the loot.

Spring Break

So in the real world, even when you work with college students you don't get Spring Break off.  But this year, we decided to take some of the week off with Grace since her school was closed.  It was great to have some special time with her one-on-one and then a family day at the end of the week. 

On Tuesday I took Grace to the Discovery Center here in Murfreesboro.  She loves that place and it is a lot of fun!!  They had a special exhibit about Tinkertoys that was really fun.





Practicing changing a tire

Mom, does this look right?



Seeing her play with the trains made me wish we had room for a train table for her at home.








She was tired!!

One of the days that Troy was off with her, he took her to play Glow Golf.  She has been asking us to take her and she had a blast with her daddy!!



On Friday we both took the day off and we all went to Nashville.  We have been wanting to go to the Adventure Science Center, so that is what we did!!  Such a fun place!!





At the top of the play area!  You could see downtown from there too.




She loves this show and screamed when she saw the bus

They had a great exhibit on the planets and Grace was fascinated by it!







Mayan calendar...learning about why the world will end this year.  Just kidding!



SUCH A FUN DAY!!

And of course we cheered on the Tarheels all weekend!!
