the rest of mid-winter break

i'm glad that our DC trip took up most of mid-winter break because it can be a challenge to keep the kids entertained and not fighting too much for a whole week (especially when the weather isn't super nice). i also had to do my monthly invoicing for work right when we got back into town, so i had to be creative with our outings. 

thursday afternoon i took them to playdate seattle (indoor playground), so i could get some work done and that was a success. friday was library and playground. we went to the greenwood library and checked out books and played with the magnatiles.


then we went to the greenwood elementary playground with their scooters. it was sunny and warm (55 degrees) and i was blissfully reading my book while the kids played...until azalea fell off her scooter and scraped up her hands and knees and it was time to go home ;) 

we had no plans going into the weekend. saturday morning i went to the gym, we hung around the house for a lot of the day and then thatcher took the kids to see the new sonic the hedgehog movie at the theater in our neighborhood. which meant a couple hours to myself (for the first time in over a week). i went to venture coffee and got a mole mocha...



then i went to goodwill (can't stay away!). but i always regret going on a weekend day because it's crazy there. i think i had to wait 15-20 minutes for a fitting room. but i found lots of good stuff, so it was worth it. i'm in total spring mode now, wanting to change out my wardrobe, but the weather isn't quite there yet. 



however, the cherry blossoms are starting to bud and that is always exciting! 



sunday morning thatcher signed up for my gym, so that will be good for him. it would be ideal to go together and they technically have a childcare room, but i never seen any kids over age 2 there, so i haven't used it. i guess we will be taking turns going. we hung out at home for most of the day. in the afternoon, i took the kids to arena sports magnuson to do the bouncy houses again. some friends were supposed to meet us there, but they cancelled because they were sick. the kids still had a fun. 

which brings us to monday. back to school! ashford is very anxious about going back, so i hope all goes smoothly.
