Pool, Pool, Pool

Aiden's most favorite part of the spring break is to spend time in the pool inside the Grandparents' community. He loved to jump inside the pool like cannonball jump, spinning jump, straight jumping. He did it over and over again. Mia also liked to swim around the pool with the noodles. It seemed we just can't get enough time for the pool.

Spring Break - Clearwater Beach

We spent a great day at Clearwater Beach. It is such a great family beach with soft white sand. Kids really enjoyed the ocean. They were jumping over the waves, building sandcastles, decorating the sandcastles with sea shells and sea weed. Mommy also had great time and just relax on the beach and watch kids play.

Playing in Grandparents' Backyard

Grandpa and Grandma Zeigler got kids bubble for Easter. The kids had fun with blowing bubbles and chasing the bubble. Mia also liked to pick up Grandma's sea shells and put by her ear to listen to the whistle.

Aiden's First Springbreak - Minigolf

This is Aiden's first springbreak and it is our family's first time to travel during the spring break. We have planned to go to Florida to visit Grandpa and Grandma Zeigler to have some warm pool time, beach time and go back to the Legoland. After neary 20 hours drive with four stops for food and bathroom break, we finally made it to Florida. The traffic jam has been terrible around Nashville and Atlanta. It was still worth of the drive as the weather was very nice in Florida. The next morning, we decided to stay around Grandpa and Grandma's house to play some mini golf as Mommy and Daddy are still pretty tired from long hour drive. Aiden and Mia really liked mini golf and they are self entertained.

 

Nurses' Visit at Daycare

Mia's daycare has invited nurse to her room to show the kids some healthy habit. They also showed them how to measure their head, listen to the heart. The teacher mentioned all the kids were quite thrilled by the nurses' visit.

Easter Egg Hunting at Mia's Daycare

Daddy and I went to Mia's Easter egg hunting at her daycare. Even though each kid was told to pick up only 10 eggs, they were pretty much like wild horse and running all over the classroom and hunted as many eggs as they could.

 

Legos, Legos and Legos

Aiden has been playing legos since 2 starting with Lego duplo. Now he has been into the small piece set and can do the lego sets under 300 pieces with very very little help from us. He can sit there for 2 hours straight to work on his legos. Great investment if Mommy and Daddy wants some Aiden free time. :)

 

Aiden's Artwork from Art Class at School

To celebrate Dr. Seuss's b-day and St. Patrick day, Aiden has been working on his art during art class at school. It would have been much nicer if he could have finished coloring it. But they still look decent.

 

Mia's Crafts and Learning Time at Daycare

Here are some recent pictures we received from daycare showing Mia's activities time including arts, writing, coloring, counting. One even showed that she wrote her name nicely on the upper left corner.

Aiden's School Carnival

Aiden school has annual carnival and kids can play different games in each classroom, win some prizes and have fun. Even though there are still two more years for Mia to start K, but she has come to Aiden's school so often for pick up and activies. She just jumped into all the games no matter she knows how to play or not.

 

Bowling with Cousins

We went to Coldwater Ohio to visit uncle Jason's family. Since it was a couple of days from Aiden's b-day, we took them to the bowling alley for their first time. Both kids liked bowling and Aiden even had a couple of strikes without any help despite of the body movements.

 

Happy 6th Birthday

Aiden has turned 6 today and since he had big birthday party last year, we decided to have a small party with only four of us. Aiden was a very happy little boy as he got his favoriate race car cake, two sets of legos from us (castle and star wars) and some books from Mia. Mia did fight over the castle lego and that really upset Aiden as he thought she was taking away from him. So we did end up with tears from both kids, but with a little distraction for Mia, she settled down quickly and moved up to her own toys.

Snack Time at Daycare

Daycare teachers snapped some pictures of Mia having snack during snack time. We really enjoyed to see her daily picture from daycare since we don't feel like we are too left out when she is away from us during the day.

Big Snow on the First Day of March

We had nearly 8 inches snow on the first day of March. Daddy took kids outside to play with snow. Mia loved it and might have eaten some too! We had pretty rough second half February and can't wait for the spring!
