Ft Worth Newborn Photographer | Project 365 | Week 12
So this past week was Spring Break for my munchkin. I’ll go ahead and admit that I was not super excited about the prospect of Spring Break. I do love having my little guy home with me every day, but I am also wise enough to know how this goes. Generally, by the time any major break from school is coming to a close, all parties involved are ready for our regular routine to resume. In fact, last Monday….only three days into Spring Break…Holden asked me, “Mama—can I go back to school yet?” I guess that is a testament to how much he loves his preschool and his teachers. My boy also takes after me in that he really doesn’t enjoy being stuck in the house. He wants to go outside and play every day–rain or shine, cold or hot. I like the outdoors too, but I have my limits. If we aren’t outside he will tire out of playing in the house within a day or two. The boy has tons of toys to play with, but I think as an only child he misses the social interaction with his peers. I was also a little nervous about Spring Break because I had no game plan going in. Normally I would do some research and try to plan out our days so there is stuff on the agenda. This break caught me unprepared though, and I started the week with a totally blank calendar. Surprisingly though, I’m going to give Spring Break 2016 an A+. I went totally Type B with things and we just took it on a day-by-day basis as to what activities to engage in. The week ended up being beautiful weather wise, so there was a ton of outside play, going to the park with friends, bike riding, etc. We also had several major outings, and the time has just flown by.
75/366: AMAZING spring break weather. 80+ degrees in March and I’m not complaining one bit. We made sure to have our dinners on the back patio almost every night.
76/366: My boy and his great-grandma. My sister, Holden, and I went to visit my grandma for the day. We went to the mall for Easter Bunny pictures, out to lunch and then just general visiting back at the house. The book my Grandma is reading Holden is something she read to me as a kid, and something that actually belonged to my aunt.
77/366: Thursday’s outing was visiting my other sister at her workplace in the Ft. Worth Stockyards. We watched the cattle drive, then went to lunch at Joe T. Garcia’s. I LOVE that place, but since we live so far away it isn’t a treat we can indulge in often. The only downside was that this was the day a cold front came through and it was a little chilly on the patio, but if you go to Joe T’s you eat on the patio. It’s just the way it is, so we braved it. After lunch we visited the Stockyards petting zoo. Holden was all smiles, just ridiculously happy over feeding slobbery animals. I told him we had two slobbering dogs at home that he is welcome to feed, but he did not see the humor.
78/366: Surprised my boy as he played in his room. It is always fun when he is engrossed in play and I can overhear his imagination at work. So adorable!
79/366: The first official day of spring. A little cold outside—in fact, we had a late frost and I had to cover all my plants. These Gerber daisies made it feel a little more springy.
80/366: They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!”
– John 12:13
81/366: My husband’s birthday is tomorrow, so my little guy worked on a birthday card. We even had a fresh box of crayons to work with! I am probably the only person alive who thinks a fresh box of Crayolas is worth taking a photo of, but oh well. I couldn’t resist.
