Mega Egg hunt

This morning Benton was still feeling sick and even though he didn't throw up, he still had a fever.  In an attempt to keep Henry and Jack from getting sick, I took the 2 of them out to Chesterfield for an egg hunt... a MEGA egg hunt!  We met our friend's the Herrera's there and even though it was chilly, Henry had a great time.  Jack just slept.

 

 Henry picked out a wearable alien balloon creation to take home for his sick brother.

Good Friday

Last night/early this morning, Benton woke us up and said his tummy hurt and he needed to throw up.  Well this morning, he was all smiles, no fever, and seemed to feel better.  We hung around the house and went to church at 12:15 for the Good Friday Service.  Gregg met us over his lunch break and Ben fell asleep on Gregg's lap.  When he woke up, he was burning up!  So much for feeling better. I was going to take the kids to the zoo this afternoon, but instead we came home and Ben slept on the couch all afternoon, which is NOT like him.  I strapped on the infant carrier thingy, put Jack in it, and played basketball with Henry.  I didn't want Jack to get whatever Ben has, so we spent the afternoon outside.  It was a georgous day!  We are hoping Ben feels better in the morning, as we have plans to go to an egg hunt then lunch with friends.

6 Weeks

On Wednesday, Jack turned 6 weeks old.  We can't believe our little guy is already 6 weeks old!  I had my 6 week check up today and everything is great.  I am able to starting running and exercising again.  I went on my first Post-Jack run today and boy did it feel great!  I ran round the neighborhood and pushed Jack.  I am sure I didn't look too much like a runner today, more of a slow jog, but I ran pretty much the whole time, only stopping 3 times.  I can only improve from here.  Below are a few of my favorite Jack pictures from the last few days.

 

Third Snow Day

The kids could have totally had school today!  The roads are clear and just wet!  But, just about every school (both public and private) are off today.  We ventured back over to the Sprandt house to play again today. Gregg went to work and I thought I might go crazy with all 3 kids, considering I had them all last week for spring break.  Henry and Ben loved playing outside and Jack got to snuggle with his ladies!  Tonight it was swim lessons, a good ending to another snow day.

 

Snow

This morning while we were in church, it started to snow... LOTS of snow!!  We currently have around 7 or 8 inches (I think) and it's still coming down!  The kids are amped because there is no school tomorrow.  This makes 3 snow days.  This afternoon G, Henry, and Ben all went sledding over on UMSL's campus.  Jack and I watched from the warm Jeep.  Well, Jack slept I should say.  We came home and attempted naps before going to the Sprandt's house for dinner and more playing in the snow.  Nana and Papa made it safely back to AR, so it was a great day!

 

 Henry is ready for some sledding!

 

 This picture of Ben cracks me up!

Weekend Fun

Saturday morning we went to our church for their egg hunt.  It was a chilly morning, but both Henry and Ben had fun.  The afternoon was beautiful!  Gregg took Ben to his first baseball practice while Henry, Jack, and I went for a walk to watch some of the UMSL baseball game.  Jack got in some good snuggles with his Nana and Papa.  They left this morning right after church to head home to AR.  It's snowing (a lot) and we are off to go sledding!

 

 Ready for the egg hunt!

 Saturday night Gregg and I went to a surprise birthday party for our friend Philip.  His wife, Becky, was able to pull the surprise off and he had no idea!

 

 Happy Birthday Philip!

Spring Break Day 5

 Last day of spring break!  I had a meeting about the upcoming 5K race Immanuel is putting on and since the other ladies on the committee all have kids that go to Immanuel also, we met at the school gym so the kids could all run around and play.  They had a blast!  We spent the afternoon picking up and cleaning since my parents are coming in town tonight.  We also watched some basketball games.  Henry is really into it this year!
