midwinter break

Last week we had Midwinter Break, which meant Connor had no school which meant we could play! Yippee! We still had a few things on our schedule, but we were not near as busy as we are in real life. Tuesday was Connor's birthday (he is 5 now), we met Natalie and gang at Kid's Quest and went to lunch before spending the rest of the day together at my work. On Wednesday just three of us went to the Museum of Flight for a couple of hours. I really like the "airplane museum, " the boys like it too and did a really good behaving themselves. Then Thursday my boys and I met, Natalie, Leah, Mason and Mac at the Seattle Aquarium. The Aquarium was great, it wasn't too busy and they had a couple new exhibits/activities that were way fun. I full on lost Nolan. Not fun. I don't know what happened, but he was at the front desk quite pleased with himself when I finally found him (they called my name over the loud speaker just as I saw him sitting there, not at all afraid). What a naughty kid. He was not happy that he had to have a timeout in the stroller for a little while. We all ate lunch at Red Robin, the 5 kids did pretty good. I just think restaurants should be better at serving families with children. Like honestly, how hard was it to have a basket of fries ready as soon as we ordered? Obviously extremely difficult. It took over 20 minutes to get our food...the natives got a little restless, but there were very few tears and no drinks were spilled (at least I don't remember any). Last week was just a preview of Summer Break and that is exciting. I like having a schedule to stick to, but it is much more fun to have free time to run around town without an time restrictions.
