Girls Weekend!

Just a week after we moved into our new rental home, I left for my annual "weekend with the girls"! The timing couldn't have been better, and I was ready for a break! We decided on Fort Worth this year so we got a hotel and had dinner in Sundance Square Friday night, then walked around the Stockyards. Saturday we took it easy and had an outdoor patio lunch followed by some shopping. Saturday night we went out for dinner again and then headed to a fun club that played only music from the '70s, '80s, and '90s (totally our thing!). After brunch on Sunday we headed home. I love these girls!!

Our crazy Spring Break!

We spent Spring Break packing up and moving out! We sold our beloved house on Bradford Estates and have moved into a rental home in Sachse, while we decide where to build our next house. The kids have done an awesome job adjusting and we are pretty much unpacked and set up. I'll post pics of the new place later :)

Luckily the kids still got to have some fun on Spring Break. They had some playdates with friends while I stayed home packing, and we met our old playgroup friends at the park on Thursday.

Aunt Amy and Uncle Cody offered to take our kids to Granbury on Friday (moving day for us) to see Cookie and Jeff, and we took them up on it! Not only did we have them out of our hair for the big move, but they had a fabulous time with their cousins and grandparents :) Thank you Cody and Amy!

We jumped right back into our routine the following week. We donned our green for St. Patty's Day, of course!

Avery's class had International Day yesterday which I helped coordinate. The kids had a list of countries they've studied to choose from, and Avery and I chose Japan. I borrowed a kimono from a friend of mine (her daughter chose Japan when Aidan's class did it a couple years ago!) and I brought sushi. There was quite a buffet of international foods to enjoy and the kids looked so cute in their costumes! Too bad Avery is blowing her nose in this group pic that another mom took, oh well :)

Avery's First Lost Tooth, I Mean TEETH!

The Tooth Fairy is now getting teeth from two Steward kids! Avery's bottom tooth had been a little wiggly for a few weeks and when brushing her teeth last week, it finally became REALLY loose. It was still hanging in there but was already bleeding a lot so I convinced her (after a little crying) to let me pull it out with a Kleenex. Aidan came in to give her moral support! When we got it out she was super excited and we FaceTimed with Daddy who was working late. She left the tooth in her Tooth Pillow that my aunt had given her as a baby, and the next morning the Tooth Fairy had left her five dollars and a nice note. She couldn't wait to tell her teacher and friends at school! I also noticed that the tooth next to it was wiggly which we hadn't noticed before, and sure enough two days after her first tooth came out I looked in her mouth and her second one was gone! She doesn't remember it coming out so she wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy saying she couldn't find it. The Tooth Fairy, who's been through this situation with Aidan at least twice, was very generous :) I can't believe I now have two kids who are missing teeth!
