Winter Break with Papa

Last week, Justin was off almost every day to spend with the girls on winter break. Everly is still off school all of this week but is hanging out with Aspen at daycare until I am off again on Friday. Justin kept the girls busy last week with trips to the park and the mall and he also took them to the Arizona Science Center one day. It has been a while since we have taken the girls to the science center. Actually, I am not even sure if Aspen had ever been before but Ev has been a couple of times. It was also snow week at the Science Center so the girls got to play with a little snow outside. He had posted a bunch on instagram stories while he was there so I got to see a lot of what they did and they looked like they had a really great time. Of course, I wish I could have gone too but I am glad they had so much fun. I plan on taking the girls back to the zoo this Friday while I am off so we will get plenty of time together. Justin also took the girls for a donut date before the Science Center so I might have to spoil them with donuts also!

these two!

Obviously Aspen had fun!

Cousin S'mores Night!

Last Friday night I invited myself over to my sister's house for a s'mores night. she has a cute little back patio with a fire pit and the kids (and us) have been wanting to do s'mores since we had them nightly at our family reunion in Lake George last summer. One thing we did in New York was substitute Reese's for Hershey's in some of the s'mores thanks to my cousin. If you haven't done this yet, you need to try it. Sooo good. I picked up all of the goods to make s'mores at Target, my sister obviously provided the fire and then my other sister brought over the hot cocoa. Kids around fire is always a little interesting but they all did pretty good. Aspen and Mae were content just eating jumbo marshmallows and at one point Everly tried to swipe half a Hershey's bar so they were pretty hopped up on sugar but it was a fun way to enjoy the cooler temps. We also brought over a holiday glitter bath bomb because my sister has a big tub so the girls had fun. It totally looked like piss because it was yellow but it smelled really good and the kids liked it. We have one more Santa bath bomb that turns green that we are saving for Christmas.

All the goods

starving kids!

yaaaaaaaaaaaasssss!
