Once we have the time change and move our clocks ahead one hour, it seems like spring is just around the corner which I'm really hoping the warm weather will follow closely behind. We had a few nice teaser days a couple weeks ago but since then the temps have dropped again and we've been stuck inside most days. With that being said, we were pretty much stuck inside this past weekend again.
On Friday, after we dropped Lucy off at school, Cece & I headed to Recreations Outlet to play. We got there right when it opened and were literally the only people there for a good 10-15 minutes. I've only been on the weekends before when it's packed so it seemed eerily quiet when we were the only ones there. Cece immediately found a scooter and pushed it around for awhile, doing laps around the playground equipment. She played and ran around for a little over an hour before we went back home for a little bit before picking Lucy up at school. We didn't do much the rest of the day except Todd & I had a "date night" after the girls were in bed and we got sushi for a late dinner.
She didn't quite have the scooter figured out but she had fun pushing it around
She's so excited!

Love our sushi "date nights"
On Saturday, I got up early and went to a class at System of Strength and ran a couple errands on my way home. My parents were out of town for the past 15 days on a cruise around the French Polynesian (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) and got back into town Friday night so they stopped over on Saturday to see the girls & tell us about their trip (which sounded amazing!). Our friends and their son (who is Cece's age) came over in the late afternoon to hang out and have dinner. It's always nice to be able to hang out with our friends and have our kids involved so we don't have to book a sitter all the time.

The kiddos (and yes, Cece is wearing a costume with her arms stuck inside; she literally wore it like this for 20 min and was cracking herself up)
No words needed....except I literally bust out laughing every time I see this picture

After church and grocery shopping on Sunday morning, we were invited to the "St. Patrick's Shindig" at our friends' kids' preschool. Lucy had so much fun with Natalie & Caroline (and was totally in her element singing on stage) and Cece was happy once we gave her a cookie. Again, another opportunity to hang out with our friends and let our kids play. On Sunday afternoon, Todd & Lucy headed down to the basement to start prepping to make a batch of beer. I actually thought they had started making it but apparently Todd was still making sure all his equipment worked properly since this was the first time brewing in his new beer room. I'll have to do a separate post on his beer room because it's been almost a 3 year work in progress and Todd has spent a lot of time constructing and building everything on his own...from framing the room, tiling the floor, putting up the backsplash, making his own hood/vent, installing a sink, and making pumps & controllers for his brewing supplies, he's done a lot and I'm actually really proud (and impressed!). Literally the only thing he didn't do was drywall & install water lines into that part of the basement (both of which we hired contractors to do).

Snack time!
Highlight of her day was eating this cookie
