Spring Break is over :(

Well, tomorrow starts the final 9 weeks of school.(I can't believe that it has gone this fast.) This last week as been a nice week to sleep in a little and try to have a little bit of fun. We were planning to go to Arizona to see my sister Beth but with her son Zane just getting out of the hospital, that didn't happen. So on goes the week. We cleaned house of course; because you know I am the meanest mom ever. On Tuesday, it was St. Patrick's Day, so the girls wanted to make a special green breakfast. They took full charge of the meal. I sat on the couch and watch Good Morning America.

The meal was wonderful. Too bad they didn't clean up breakfast as well as they made it.

Wednesday we headed down to my dad's for a quick lunch and clean up of his house. We met up with a couple other families at Thousand Springs for a fun swimming afternoon. We enjoyed floating and swimming in the pool. You know you stayed to long when someone get hurts. Right at the end Garret who had wanted to go 30 minutes earlier swam right into the wall. He put his tooth through his bottom lip. I thought he might need a stitch, but he has healed up pretty well. He looked worse for wear with the carpet burn that he gave himself earlier in the week on his forehead,the big fat lip and the scar on his chin. We ended the night by having Costco pizza in a park and playing with our good friends the Bronsons.

Thursday I became the Paint Nazi as we raced to Utah to help Aunt Kim paint her upstairs. We painted Eva's room and her kitchen and livingroom. Too bad we didn't get too Will's room. We pushed the kids until about 8:30 that night. Blakely and Katelyn helped with kids during the day. We enjoyed McDonald's for dinner. We came home and put kids to bed about 10 or so. We woke up and touched up spots until about 10 or so. We got ready and ran into Ogden to shop a little at Savers. Love Savers. Beth got me hooked. We ran back to Kim's and put her livingroom back together. When she started calling me the paint nazi I knew it was time to go. It looks good.

Saturday we decided this would be family fun day since Dad could join us. We started it off by finishing the rock wall outside. Doesn't that sound like fun? The kids didn't think so either. We took advantage of the 70 degree weather to work outside. We were trying to teach them it can be fun to work together as a family also. Well, after we finished we loaded up and headed to Twin to go to the new bounce house. We bounced, slid,whacked, and raced each other around the gym. It was pretty fun. We then headed out to eat at Golden Corral. Fun filled day.



It was a fun Spring Break..... Just a side note, we woke up Sunday morning to snow. It snowed until about 1 in the afternoon. As Shawn says that's spring in Idaho.

How funny is that? We went to that exact same bounce house on Thursday, how fun! The little kids liked it but it was a little young for the older ones. Looks like you had fun! I don't want to go back to school. But on the bright side there are only 9 weeks left! YAY!

Wow you packed a lot of stuff into your vacation! It sounds like you had a lot of fun family memories and enjoyed a lot of time together--even if some of it was work. Sad we didn't get to see you over the break, but I'm glad you guys had a great week!
