February Vacation

Even though the kids need time off from school like they need a hole in the head, it was vacation week this week. And though the snow is a pain in everyone's butt, we still needed to get out of the house. It's just crucial to dress the kids in bright colors so they don't get lost in the drifts!



On Tuesday we had a bowling date with some friends.







We had some good pizza afterwards and Maddy finally got to have her "Minion" cupcakes.



On Wednesday I took the kids to the movies to see Paddington. When we bought the tickets only the front row was available but we made do with the fully reclining seats. I doubt they will see a movie any other way from now on.



On Thursday we went to the MFA.



We saw a really cool demonstration of African drumming and dancing. And afterwards, when they asked for volunteers Audrey hopped right up to get a drum lesson from an expert.



And then she joined right into the free-for-all dance and drum mosh pit.



Our friends Amaia and Kai were there too. Audrey and Kai look like they may have some stolen art in their pockets.



Before leaving, Audrey got some drawing in.



And I made them take the obligatory look-how-deep-the-snow-is photo.



On Friday we concluded vacation week with a trip to the Museum of Science with Audrey's friend Daniela.





It was a busy week! I need a vacation from vacation week!
