This is the first February vacation that I have not had to work. It was fun to be off with the boys!

Bren and I kicked off vacation with our 3rd annual Valentine’s Day date to Disney on Ice. Bren loves the performance. I love judging the kidless couple there on a date. (WHY???) He went with pink and red streaks in his hair for the occasion!

It seems Aidan finds some craft project to kick off vacation. This year it was a Minecraft sword made of 1X1 blocks and painted to match the sword in the game. He’s so creative and once he sets his mind to do something- it gets it done!

Both boys had asked to have a friend day and we made that day a trip to SkyZone. I thought more parents would be there hoping to burn off kid energy-but it was a pretty quiet day. They had fun with their friends and were exhausted when they were done!

We tried a new place too- a local rock gym. The kids had fun climbing high (and swinging down) and bouldering. Bren of course was trying to find the most dramatic way possible.
Brendan helped usher Fancy Nancy and Aidan got a few play dates into!

The highlights for both: Brendan got to go with his high school friends to Harvard Square after they ushered Fancy Nancy- before he went to rehearsal. And Aidan finally got his wish to go to trivia with Chris!
