Last week was Spring Break in our house. This meant no gymnastics, no school, and no Bible Study. I will be honest and say I was a little concerned about how we would survive the week without much planned. As it turns out, it was a great week. Jacob seemed happy to have a break from schedules and "having" to be somewhere at a certain time. He was happy, helpful, and cooperative for the most part. 
The big news of the week for him was a start to potty training. We've talked about it off and on but never got started because he was against it. He isn't thrilled with the notion, but he isn't refusing it either, so I'll take it. 
For Luke, his hives breakout in response to a penicillan allergy defined his week. Though it is looking a lot better, he is far from clear. He still gets new breakouts and could for another week or two. Both boys' ears are clear of infection, so good news there.
One of the only places besides the gym we ventured out of the house for last week was a new park with some friends. Jacob loved it so we'll definitely have to return sometime soon. His favorite thing, this 'rock' wall. I was amazed at how quickly he could scale right up, with no fear. Even though he was quite good at it, it made me a little nervous so I made sure to stand below him each time he took a climb.
The weather the weekend before spring break was cold, but by early in the week it had turned into sunny skies and warmth. We spent a lot of time outside, including a few naps on the hammock. Here is a picture of David and Luke taking a littlen ap. Poor little guy was having trouble sleeping because of his hives, but he got a nap with Daddy to make him feel a little better.
And finally, on Saturday we went for a little train ride. Just a few miles from our house is a park with "kid-sized" trains. Once a month, they run the trains for the public to ride on and enjoy. We decided to try it out last weekend. It was really neat and both boys seemed to enjoy it.
Here are the rest of the week's pictures.
Sounds like a great Spring Break. We are at the last day of ours. We head out on a family trip for the weekend tomorrow morning if the snow is not too terrible on the roads. I think I'm taking the plunge w/ Samuel and just putting him in big boy pants. Otherwise he does not mind getting his pull-ups wet. So far he's done well today. Of course he pooped first thing this morning in his pull-up so we'll see how day 2 goes. I imagine we'll still do pull-ups in the car and on trips and at school for now. It may take me awhile to get serious about it :)
