Spring break 2016 and the last of the kid birthday fun!

We enjoyed our low key Easter with some hula hooping at home.
And some couch snuggling as well!
 That Monday after Easter kicked off our Spring break and ended the Worsts spring break.  So we took advantage of our one overlapping day of vacation to get together and prep some Minecraft materials for Noah's upcoming friend party.
 Color by number was a hit!
 Calvin did a bang up job of coloring his creeper and making an Enderman face!
 Yay for outside time!
 Calvin's cardboard sword would serve as a good model to show folks when the party came!
 We made some special Rice Krispie creepers too!
 Isaac is a very serious fellow after a nap.
 Stripe club!
 Nonstripe club!
 We did some major shopping the next day, with a stop at Toys R Us courtesy of a gift card from Uncle Danny!
 California Pizza Kitchen for lunch, yum.
 Don't know where he gets his goofy streak from?
 We threw caution to the wind and decided to give underwear a go!  So far it's been pretty successful!
 Popcorn and movie day!
 Noah helped prep for his party by drawing on creeper faces on Sprite bottles.
 New rainboots from Uncle Josh and Kjersten, woohoo!
 Friday we headed to Burr Ridge for the dentist and some swimming.  Look who's matchy matching?!
 Saturday was the big party day, so Friday night was a big prep night.  Mike tackled the cake while I worked on decorations/games.  Here's my pin the tail on the pig!
 Saturday morning he was up bright and early at 6am to check it all out!
 Creeper plate face, thanks, Pinterest!
 The masterpiece this year, and an exact replica of the cake that appears in the game!
 Spider and Nether portal decorations.
 Creeper drinks!
 The party was great, it was a nice combo of school friends and family friends!
My two big guys!  The cake was delicious as usual!  Happy 8th birthday Noah! 
 I'll take some cake too!
 Group shot, Leo was not feeling it!
 Hooray for party day!  Noah is lucky to have some great friends.
 After the party, things took a turn for the worse as the neighbors hung around for the usual post party antics.  The  kids and adults all had some fun.
 Isaac convinced Mr. Daren to make him into a mummy.
 Sam got an assist from Dad to get his wall-crawler toy down.
 More mummy time!
 Who doesn't need a speaker fanny pack?!  Score from the Weingarts!
 Sam showed the neighbors his booty moves!
 Here dad!
Post party panoramic shows the mess we left ourselves.  Not too bad!  Great time had by all.  Now, on to April and spring!
