On Friday, we started by going to the Gateway Arch. We went through the museum and the kids all obtained their Junior Ranger badges. Then we did a photoshoot outside.
Grant's Farm had just opened for the season, so we visited on our way back out of town. We got a tram tour of the grounds, free beer, and got to feed baby goats.
For spring break, we took a mini trip to St. Louis for a few nights with Chris' family. Our first stop was the City Museum. This place was like nothing we've seen before. Climbing, sliding, crawling, etc through the entire museum. It was definitely epic.
We always schedule home makeover projects for January-March when we're around more. This year's projects were pretty simple.
1. We turned the old toy kitchen play room area into an exercise room. Will we use it? Maybe! We had this old elliptical that needed a home and were gifted a bike! We had to take the bike completely apart to fix the bluetooth element (I would NOT recommend) but now it works and the room is functional!
2. I wanted to take the TV off the fireplace wall to move it where it would be less of an eye sore and at a more functional height and location. I painted the wall and added a little MDF molding to make the fireplace wall nicer.
Forgot to do a "before" but I found this:
3. The kids bathroom needed updating. We replaced the toilet which wasn't wasn't working well and the faucets which were broken, also. The shower also broke during the winter so it was replaced, too. I framed the mirror, spaced out the towel hooks, and added new decor. We tried to use things we already had and just repurposed them.
