Spring Break. I am pretty sure teachers look forward to this week more than the students. My plan for the break was to get everything done that I have been putting off...doctor, dentist, eye doctor, cleaning, organizing, etc., and, of course, to have some fun with the kids.
Right away, my sister and I took our girls to the rodeo and to see Hunter Hayes in concert. The weather was rainy and miserable, but Ellie and Kinleigh were in heaven. It made me realize that I need to plan more one-on-one activities with Ellie. I love that she is older now and we can go do fun things together and have actual conversations.
Ellie also had a day where she went over to her cousins' house for a Harry Potter marathon. Her 8th grade cousin, Leilani, told Ellie that if she finished the entire series, they would have a movie day. The girls watched movies from 9-5 and made it through the 1st, 4th, and 6th Harry Potter movie. I am pretty sure it was the highlight of Ellie's Spring Break...maybe even better than Hunter Hayes.
Ellie wasn't the only one getting special treatment. We enrolled Jack in swim lessons for the week. He didn't learn anything new, but he sure had fun.
The weather was beautiful most days so the kids would ride their bikes to the park (while I pushed Sam in the stroller) and we would meet up with friends or cousins to play.
I finished my break by going to Dianna's last night to watch the new Veronica Mars movie with a couple of friends. I stayed up way too late for someone who had to be up by 5:00am the next day, but it was worth it.
I really enjoyed my time home with the kids, but I know the school year is almost over and soon I will have the entire summer with those munchkins
