Back to work!

It was a sad day in our house this past Tuesday as Kristi's maternity leave came to and end. For the past several months Kristi has been taking Tuesday's off during the week to spend time with the kids and I, which has been amazing but it's now back to work.

With this being Kristi's last day I decided to cook her an egg and cheese sandwich which is her favorite breakfast that I make, in fact I think it's pretty much the only thing she likes or requests from me when it comes to breakfast food.

Having breakfast as a family!

After breakfast we decided to get out of the house and head over to the Alderwood Mall so Kristi could spend some time with the kids in the play area. We thought why mess up our house or give the kids an opportunity to break things in our house when we can go over to the mall and let them run crazy there. As far as I know this was the first time the twins actually got a chance to experience the play land, which I'm happy to report they enjoyed tremendously.

Typical Easton running all over the place.

Addy showing the boys the lay of the land and telling them how it's done. Easton and Owen actually look like they are listening to her. That won't last long.

After the kids were pooped out in the play area we decided to take them over to Ruby's for lunch. Besides having great kids food they also love watching the train go round and round.

We of course weren't going to get out of the mall without letting Addy throw some pennies in the wishing well. She absolutely loves this part. The only problem is after she throws the coin in she likes to bend down and put her hands in the water. Thank God for hand sanitizer.

I hate to say it but I guess Addy's wish didn't come true because Symetra did not call Kristi and tell her to just continue to stay at home on Tuesdays with her family with full pay! STUPID WISHING FOUNTAIN!!

Sounds like you had a great last day of maternity leave. I can't believe your boys are almost a year old!!

Wish I could have been there! Looks like you had a great time. I also wish Kristi could be home, it is hard working full time like you both are and raising 3 kids.
So happy you are back on the blog, I felt something was missing from my day when you didn't have anything new up. By the way, the sandwich IS awesome...I had one when we were out last month.

Hey Guys, Glad to see you had a great Easter. I think the Twins and Oliver are going to be MAJOR trouble this summer when you come to visit. I can't wait! We will have to get lots of pictures of them together. Thanks for sharing your Holiday with us.
