I feel like we reached a real milestone this week! Nathan turned 5 on Tuesday, and we're having a party for him tomorrow. He is turning into quite the little guy! It feels so strange to think that our youngest is 5 years old - we are really officially out of the baby/toddler stage, almost out of preschool age! Crazy. We went to the mall last weekend and every single one of our kids was too tall for the play area! They went in anyway because it's a free-for-all, but I think it will be our last time. The end of an era for sure. I'm not very sentimental about it, as the baby/toddler years were so exhausting, but I just found it kind of interesting.
February felt like a weird month. We had a few snow days and late starts, which of course throws everything off, especially when it's the week that Brian is gone. Mid-winter break was okay, we didn't really do anything exciting. Lynsey had her Science Fair yesterday which was fun for her, she did a project with her friend Maggie about wild animals coming to eat food she set out for them - the snow we had this last weekend helped with tracking footprints (glad it was good for something other than just being annoying, grr). This really has been the strangest winter we've had since moving out here - apparently there might be even more snow this weekend! If we have another snow day or late start I will not be impressed - Spring can come anytime now!
Speaking of Spring, we made a big decision this past weekend - we are taking the kiddos to Disneyland on their Spring Break! Not for the whole week, it's not a cheap destination by any stretch of the imagination, but we found decent flights and will leave early Sunday morning so we have most of the day Sunday to take in the park, and then leave Wednesday late so we have the whole day Wednesday as well - and only pay for 3 nights of hotel. We will see how this works out, hopefully the kids do well and sleep on the plane! They have in the past so I'm hoping for the best. We have even managed to get Adam a bit excited for it, so curious to see if he will try any of the rides. We are hyping them up and going to try and get him on a really tame ride to start to see if he likes it. I feel like he will like rides, he loves waterslides and being wrestled and thrown around, we just have to convince him to try them! In any case, we will try and have a relaxed approach and if he's just not into it, be okay with taking him back to the hotel and doing some swimming, which we know he loves. I can't let myself think about how expensive the park passes are, we know he might not be too into it so we might just have to trade off taking him back to the hotel if he's done there. Lynsey is really excited, I think at the very least her and Nathan will really love it there!
