Double Holiday Week!

We’ve had a busy week, including 2 holidays! The weather was gorgeous on Monday, so we started our week walking to the ice cream shop.  

On Tuesday, I got to read a book to Xander’s class over zoom. I also got to show off Hudson to everyone by holding him up to the camera. 
 
On Wednesday, Hudson went to puppy class for the first time. There were 8 other dogs, including 2 other bulldogs! Of all the dogs, Huddy was, BY FAR, the craziest. He was SO excited. He couldn’t focus, never once even got close to sitting, and just wanted to play with his new friends. He is smart but he might be TOO social for class. We’ll see how next week goes. 
 

Xander did some homework- he had to ask everyone in our family our favorite color and then write them out. He wrote the words in the color we chose and did a great job! 

Thursday April 1, AKA April Fool’s Day. I’m not a huge fan of pranks. I don’t enjoy videos where parents tell kids they ate all their candy or anything that makes kids cry. But Xander has been talking about April Fool’s Day for MONTHS. Randomly, he will come up with an idea and say, “that would be a good prank, wouldn’t it?” (they are never good ideas). On Wednesday night, when I told him the next day was April Fools, he rubbed his little hands together and was SO excited. I decided that I would pull a little prank, so I made cake pops for a treat after dinner. But ONE of the pops wasn’t cake… it was a brussel sprout!

Xander was a good sport. He was a little outraged that he got pranked, but once he had a real cake pop, he recovered quickly. 

  
On Friday, the boys went to 2 parks- one with me and one with Nate. It was another lovely weather day.

Saturday was basketball for Xander. Xander’s best buddy Leo is also in basketball, but he had to miss the first 2 classes because he was on vacation. Xander was SO excited to have Leo in class this week. They got to be partners for a drill and it was a good day! 

Augustus was my assistant at the grocery store while Nate and Xander were at basketball. 
 

On Saturday night, Nate went golfing, so the boys and I had movie night dinner. We rarely eat in front of the tv, so it was an exciting night. 

Today was Easter!! The Easter bunny found our new house and left the boys (including Hudson) Easter baskets, and he hid a bunch of eggs around our house. The boys were up by 6:30am and very excited to find all of the eggs.

We had bunny butt pancakes for breakfast.

 

After breakfast, Nate and the boys assembled our new patio furniture (which I didn’t actually take a photo of). The most exciting part was that ALL of the furniture came in one GIANT box, which quickly turned into a fort (I cut some windows for light)

My mom, Danny and Heather came over and hung out all afternoon. I forgot to take any photos, but it was a fun day hanging out outside, playing Nintendo Switch (Danny and Heather were teaching the boys some tips and tricks) and ended with Danny and the boys doing sprints on the front sidewalk. Xander really wanted to race and fun Uncle Danny was a good sport (especially considering he was wearing Birkenstocks).

It was a very busy week for us and now it is April!!
