What We Did Over Our Spring Break…

Meredith and “Blue Bunny” had matching hairdos!

Spent 3 days at Splash Universe

     

Played with Cristy and Nathan on Opening Day (sporting our Tiger apparel)

 

Attended a “Mommy, Daughter, and Doll” Tea and Crumpet Party at the Library

   

Played in the warm sun on Sunday with new birthday toys from Cristy, Mark, and Nathan

(the colored bubbles were fun but messy!)

Celebrated Mike’s Birthday – Dinner at Don Pablos and then raw brownie batter for cake

 

Spring Break is over! :)  Was planning on “writing” more but time to relax and unwind.  Although, I loved the weather today it can stay cool for a little while longer – hard to get in the house and settle own for bed when it is so nice outside. 

Busy weekend planned next weekend with egg hunts and then on to the twin’s birthday and Easter!

9 more weeks of school then…Summer Vacation!!!!

Having a GREAT Time!

Fairies Galore

There have been lots of fairies flying around the Voakes house in the past few weeks.  The “Tooth Fairy” visited about weeks for Megan’s front tooth and then we have “Katelyn the Wednesday Fairy.”  Katelyn pays a visit to our house every Wednesday night.  Megan makes sure she writes a note to Katelyn each week and in the morning, Katelyn always has answered all of the questions.  All of Megan’s friends are also into fairies.  Megan’s friend Mallory had a birthday party yesterday so she bought her a fairy garden “terrarium” to attract fairies.  Megan and Mallory put their gardens together last night and then had a sleepover in hopes of a fairy visiting.  Well, we had a fairy visit last night – although not the one they had hoped for earlier in the day.  While, Megan and Mal were brushing their teeth, I put some rubber scorpions under their pillows.  (The scorpions were some fishing lures that Ray gave Megan a while ago.)  The girls were getting into bed and getting their pillows ready and when they moved them and saw the scorpions they began to scream.  All of a sudden, Megan yelled - “Hey my tooth is gone, it fell out!”  She must have hit her mouth with the pillow and her other front tooth fell out (it was quite loose already).  We had thought she swallowed it but Mike found it on the floor.  We thought it would be best to leave her tooth fairy pillow in the hall since all four girls (Meg, Mal, and the twins) were sleeping in one room.  We didn’t want to “Tooth Fairy” to wake up any of the girls.

Minute to Win It and Zoo

We had a much busier weekend than we had planned (or at least I had planned).  I was planning on having a relaxing weekend at home and doing some work to clean up our basement but really didn’t do either.  On Saturday, we were invited to our neighbor’s house to play some “Minute to Win It” games with their family.  Everyone had a really fun time.  On Sunday, we made a trip to the Detroit Zoo.  The weather was fairly nice although it was a little chilly.

Megan lost one of her two top front teeth last Saturday.  I have forgotten to take a picture all week and of course I forgot again tonight and she is over the neighbor’s house right now so it will have to wait again.  You can see her “new smile” in the last picture, however.
