the rest of spring break

thursday hazel started the day with one super loose front tooth

 i tried to give blood after michael at his work

but got rejected for low hemoglobin 

(i still enjoyed my treat)

 then we went to lunch with michael for our outing of the day

it was the only time we saw him all day 

because he went in to work early

and went to the dentist after work for a temporary crown on a cracked tooth

i think he was gone for like 13 hours straight

 i enjoyed some quiet crafty time while the little two napped

and the big three played in the backyard with our neighbors

 then later in the afternoon i was upstairs talking to my mom on the phone 

and when i got off, i came downstairs to find

our bathroom and henry covered in nail polish....

 at first i was a little mad

but then i realized we need to replace the bathroom floor anyway

and this will probably just help us make it a top priority

and i also feel pretty good that it took almost 9 years as a mom for me to have a nail polish incident 

not bad, right?

 who can be mad at this face?

 meanwhile, these 3 were being hilarious pirates

with paper taped to their faces

and a hook taped to hazel's hand that held her fork for dinner

 michael got home just as i finished scrubbing nail polish off of henry in a sink bath

 and just after i yanked hazel's loose tooth out with a piece of floss

she didn't even realize i did it 

 friday was a super fun day because michael took the day off,

we got ready for henry's birthday in the morning

and then we had a little staycation in boise

 the america's test kitchen cookbook is pretty much the only cookbook i use

 our first stop in boise

was guru donuts

i love how close it is to the capital

and how hip it is

 i got the hipsterberry, noah got chocolate poprocks, eleanor got regular poprocks,

olive and hazel got old fashioned glazed and michael got the world's biggest apple fritter

 and luckily we found a table to sit at that was big enough for us

 then we went to the zoo

it was a really nice day out and still spring break

so it was super busy

but we still had fun

 the kids were finally brave enough to feed the goats and sheep

so that was fun

 after the zoo we went to guidos for lunch

 our next stop was camelback park

 michael, olive and noah went up first

and then all 3 big kids and michael went up again before we left

 i stayed with this cute girl and pushed her on the swing 

while henry napped in the stroller

 i love this picture of noah and hazel in a tree at the park

we stopped for ice cream cones at fanci freez and 

then went home and finished getting things ready for henry's birthday

it was such a fun day

and it was the best having michael with us

the perfect last day of spring break
