Spring Break

So, in spite of the bad end to the DC portion of our spring break trip, we did have a wonderful time while we were there.  DC really is one of my absolute favorite places to visit.  The weather was nice, though not perfect, and we did miss the cherry blossoms this year, but it was still beautiful.

Here are a few shots from DC:

(This was from a cool light exhibit in the Hirshorn museum.  The room really did look that blue))

(Popsicles definitely make tired feet feel better!)

One of the nice things about the time in Ohio, was that I got to catch one of Hannah's track meets.  Now, while I am glad I got to see her run, I must admit that track meets are right at the top of my list of things I never need to do again.  They are BORING and the three little ones couldn't hack the waiting.   

We spent most of the week just hanging around at my parent's house.  The kids loved playing on the farm (I've never seen them get so dirty so fast).

On Thursday, after spending most of the day with my sister & Laney, Lucy was up sick during the night.  She was sleeping in a sleeping bag and managed to contain the mess to the sleeping bag, which meant she was absolutely covered in filth. That made a middle of the night bath necessary.  The poor little thing was EXHAUSTED and totally wiped out for a few days.

On Saturday night, after I had dropped Hannah off at her dad's, I walked in the house to find Reid being sick.  We were planning on leaving early on Sunday.  Lovely.  Fortunately, that was the end of it for Reid, but he was extremely lethargic and sleepy on Sunday (not entirely bad for a car ride day).  Of course, the kicker to all of this is that we got Valerie & Laney sick (sorry!).  I feel like a total jerk, but then, how was I to know?

I did get to spend a lot of time with Hannah, which was great.  We even took in the Hunger Games movie, which we both thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.  When did that girl get so grown up?!
