Rainy Days and Spring Break

Our Spring Break 2015 is off to a rocky start! Lots of rain! Well, I guess that's a good thing. But I'm ready for some sunshine! :) 

The kids made a fort - complete with a laundry basket (so I could do their laundry) and a mailbox (so I could hand-deliver letters to them on a daily basis).  :)

There were lots of baskets and stuffed animals and books involved in the fort-making.

Fun at JumpStreet with some of our favorite people. Nora, Ainsley, Lainey, Kaitlyn. (Walker, Brayden, Gage, Wyatt, and Camryn were there, too.)

Three men in a boat. :) They were watching Buying Alaska. I'm pretty sure Ben is trying to convince Lainey to move there! :)

We went to the doctor today for Walker's five-year-old checkup! He did...okay. He "did not cooperate" (the nurse's words) for the eye test, and he got two shots (and after the fact he could "not walk or do anything"). In other news, he's officially big enough to ride in a booster seat! He weighs 39.6 pounds (but over 40 with shoes on...) and he's 43 inches tall. If a child is 40 pounds and 40 inches tall he/she can ride in a booster seat. So. We go with that. But, to his credit, he usually still chooses to sit in his carseat with the five-point harness. :) His blood pressure was 92/58. I'm not sure why I'm including that. :) Happy "official" five years, Walker! :) Love you and your unpredictable, loving, smart, slightly-uncooperative self! :)
