Spring Break

We had a fun and busy spring break. It worked out that the girls and I had the same week off. Duane took a few days off too. We started the week with a trip to Sweet and Sassy. The girls got their nails painted with glitter and sparkles and made their own lip gloss. I was very proud of how well Duane handled the experience. He only cringed once. Poor guy! He is stuck with all these girly things. Later that week Duane took Madison to the rec center to use the rock climbing wall. He took a brief training class so that he can help her without an instructor being there. There are some non-girly things he gets to do to:) Good thing for dad he has some pretty tough girls. We went to the rec center the next day to go swimming. Mallory is more and more comfortable in the water all the time. Molly can go down the big slide now. She does her famous high pitched scream all the way down, but the truth is she is not one bit afraid. She loves doing things like the big girls. At the end of the week I took the girls and their good friend Lola to afternoon tea. There is a quaint little place in Oakwood called Central Perk that's run by a British couple. I started going there several years ago with my great friends Joey and Samantha. We've taken aunts, cousins, moms and grandmas many times too. I have a lot of fond memories there. We had a blast playing beauty shop and fixing our hair and nails before we went. They looked so adorable in their dresses! Duane and I ended the week with a night out with no kids. He took me to a little restaurant near where he works called Bears. They have great food and the best blackberry cobbler on Earth. We were so stuffed! As always spring break flew by. But now we can start the count down till summer! We are all ready for that!
