Spring Break Fun!!

Spring Break....it's not just for kids anymore!! Even though us moms are NEVER really on any kind of break from laundry, cleaning, cooking, breaking up fights, entertaining, etc., it has been SOOOOO wonderful having this time to sleep in, stay up late, and not have a SINGLE commitment to be anywhere!!! I love my life and everything and everyone in it, but sometimes you just need a moment to stop and catch up before you add on anything else! Even Sam, although not in school, was so glad just to stay in jammies all day Monday and be SILLY!!

The kids had spent the weekend visiting Grams, Pops, and Great Grandma Lillian and even got some early egg hunting in at Grandma Nita's assisted living home...I'd love to have some pictures to show, but my mom is not quite as obsessive with the camera as I am. I did see the 4 or 5 snow cones they each claimed to have when their dirty laundry came home. All worth it!

We've slept late, made a trip to the new library that recently opened around the corner from us, had a few movie nights(The Bee Movie, Enchanted, and Nancy Drew), went to get ice cream after dinner in our jammies...we stayed in the car of course :) played games, rode bikes, went to an egg decorating party at our friends' Anna, Wesley, and Spencer's house, then plan to round out the week with a trip to the movies to see Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who and then back down to visit our families for Easter. So even though our time has been busy, it's been at a much slower pace where we are just enjoying one another and having fun!

Aunt Lindsey has also made her way over to visit, since we never get to see her during the regular school week, and has gotten to do lots of fun projects with the kids too! Monday, they baked and assembled a Fruit Pizza, which as of today, is COMPLETELY gone! She loves to come over and get them all STIRRED up...I told her I can't wait for the time to come and I get to come make a mess at her house with her kids!!!!

THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!
Jack is on a strawberry kick right now if you noticed with feeding himself in almost every picture, so he isn't completely like his Uncle Brandon yet, he will eat some fruit and veggies! They have had a good time having "Crazy Aunt Lindsey" come over, and I have welcomed having another mind/body here to "share" in our Spring Break Fun!! Lindsey, we love you and are so lucky to have you in our lives!! Thanks for spending your much deserved time off with us!
