First Big Play Date = NEVER. AGAIN.

We had TONS of rain during spring break - finally we had some sunshine and everyone had the same idea - dump their kids at chaos.  We ended up with 5 extra and adding Heather and Trevor 7 total.  Too many for me to handle!

Showing off their new shirts - they were so cute!

Its Easter Time!

We dyed eggs and had a few egg hunts - kiddos love easter!

During Spring Break

Kiddos and I spent some time working and playing.  I took them to the National Zoo - of course Trevor's favorite was the aquarium exhibit.  We did get to see the baby panda too but I didn't think to take photos!

 

We also went to see a bunch of folks try to break a Guiness record for number of people dressed like superheros - yes it was odd but hey its a one time opportunity to watch!  They didn't come close to the record but we enjoyed people watching.

 We also dropped by the Japanese memorial while we were in search of a good hot dog and pretzel in the city.

Play Date at the House of Chaos.

The weather has been so lousy during spring break - until Thursday.  Every parent called at the same time and unloaded all the kiddos at our house - I mean that was the plan when I got all this stuff in the backyard so I can't really complain, but when I got up to 7 kids I was starting to get a bit panicked.....

Spring Break!

We went to visit the "big zoo" in DC and had a great time!  We even squeezed in a secret viewing of the baby panda (forgot to take photos of that).

After Fishing We Hit the Petting Zoo with Our Cousin Madeline.

Brr was it cold!  The kiddos didn't care though and loved running around and saying hello and seeing all the new sights at the zoo.
