So I decided to do a "A Day in the Life" post. This is a Weekend Edition when my Hubby was off. Which doesn't happen often so we enjoy it as much as we can. On this particular Saturday we took off on a family adventure to the Science Museum in Boston. But first we had to start our day very early, because why not right. My little crew are early risers! I have just started to like coffee but with only cream in it and no sugar. So I was trying a few creamers out this morning. I have finally settled on the Cold Stone Sweet Cream Creamer. Oh my goodness it is so good! Along with my coffee I had a rice cake with peanut butter and banana on it.

So as you know my kids are early risers so we had plenty of time to snuggle bright and early before heading out on our family adventure.

And we are finally off after getting everyone ready and packed for the day. It's not easy and some mornings go better than others and some are just pure chaos!

We arrived at the Boston Science Museum and pulled into our parking spot to see this beautiful view! So lucky that we live close to Boston. It is only an hour or so away. Need to take advantage of the city more. I think our next adventure will be the Boston Children's Museum.

The girls had so much fun exploring. We went into the Butterfly exhibit which was beautiful. The butterflies were so pretty! The girls loved watching them. One of the butterflies escaped with us. Oops! But we got someone quickly to help us. It's never a dull moment with us.

Easter Weekend!

Happy Easter and how is it already April? The kids and I had a great weekend minus the Hubby who was working doubles all weekend (thank you xoxo). It started off on Friday night with movie night. We watched Paddington 2 which was so cute. Saturday we were all up early which isn't a surprise. They could all sleep in on the week days but not the weekends. Some day! At least we got our grocery shopping done early because we had an Easter egg hunt to go to at our local Lighthouse park. The girls were cute and wanted to share getting the eggs which I thought was a great idea because we don't need double the candy. It was such a nice day out. I finally feel like Spring is coming here. After the egg hunt the girls went with their Aunt's for a bit while I ran to target with Hudson. What a nice little Target trip. I was able to escape the dollar section and not buying anything! Was out of there quickly. Headed home to get the girls and make lunch. Hudson went down for a nap and the girls and I watched a movie. When Hudson woke up we headed to the playground. After the playground we got ready to head to my parent's house for pizza night. Saturday was a busy day! After pizza night we came home got the kids to bed. Then the Easter Bunny came and I went to bed!

We all slept in on Sunday till 6:30! Very exciting. The girls were ready to go and see what the Easter Bunny brought, but the Easter Bunny played a mean April fools joke and hid their baskets so they had a clue to find them! We had a nice morning afterwards! Went to my mom's for a bit and then to the playground again with my sister and her daughter. Needed to run off all the energy. We weren't going to my sisters for Easter dinner till around 3 so we had plenty of time to just relax and enjoy our Sunday! The rest of the day was fun with a lot of candy being eaten! The girls had another Easter egg hunt at my sisters! Lots of candy to go around! I think the candy will go missing soon! It was a great Easter weekend and I'm glad that it was low-key. I needed that very much. Easter is a very hard holiday for me but that is for another post! I hope you all have a great week.
