Spring Break '18

We had such a fun Spring Break in Houston with Auntie Jen, Allie, and her friend, Madison.  Mama came to Austin on Wednesday and spent the night with us.  Pearce was so excited to show her his new big boy room!  We went to eat lunch and then went to an impromptu showing of Peter Rabbit at the movie theater.  We all loved the movie!  We headed to Houston Thursday morning.  Pearce wanted to ride with Mama, which was fine with me!  I loved driving a quiet car for once :)  We got to Houston early that afternoon.  After visiting for a while, we went to a Mexican food place for an early dinner.  Pearce loved it because it had a cool outdoor play area with sand and ride-on toys.  He was filthy when we left, but had a blast!  On Friday, we had fun riding bikes around the neighborhood, riding to the park, and playing basketball outside.  Pearce LOVED all of Roberts fun things...X-Box, full sized basketball goal, and legos,  He really loved being with Allie and her friend, Madison, too.  They were both so sweet to Pearce.....he kept asking "Where are the big girls?  What are the big girls doing?"  The funniest thing is that they taught him how to send text messages to them on my phone.  He sent Allie and Madson so many texts that weekend....and even after we got back home, I would find messages he sent to them!  They were so sweet to always text back :)  His spelling actually got pretty good with each text, haha!!  We ate dinner at one of Allie's favorite places and had fried chicken and waffles.  On Saturday, we all ventured downtown to go to the Oscar de la Renta dress display.  I was worried Pearce would be totally bored and not enjoy himself, but when he got to have his own device for a self-guided tour, he was a happy camper!  It almost looked like a cell phone and at each display, you scan the device and can listen to information about that dress.  He thought it was cool!  Pearce also noticed that lots of people were taking pictures, so he asked to have my phone so he could take pictures....I said yes and he thought he was big stuff for getting to have his own device and cell phone for taking pictures....just like all the other adults.  He was actually very well mannered, too!  After we saw all the dresses, we went to eat lunch at a cute diner.  Eating out at all of Allie's favorite places was definitely a highlight for me.....so much good food!!!!!!!  Mom and Jen wanted to go to a fabric store, but us girls (and one cute little boy) wanted to go to Sephora and do a little shopping :)  I loved getting to spend some extra time with Jen and Allie....we really don't get to see them as much as I would like to.  Need to change that because it's such an easy and short drive to Houston!
