Mom's Spring Break

I find it completely annoying the the CSN spring break does not line up with Clark County School district spring break.  So even though next week the kids will be off school, I will still have to go.  Really annoying right?  So this week I decided since I didn't have any studying to do or classes to go to that I would make it a great week even though the kids had school.  So here is what we did on my spring break.

 

Monday

A friend of mine planned and awesome FHE activity at the park.  There was a great turn out and it was tons of fun.  Can't wait for the next one!

 

Tuesday

Natalie and I met up with Molly and her two adorable boys for some park fun, then went to lunch at Cafe Rio of course.  (I am going to blame Cafe Rio for why I can't lose my Natalie Baby weight)

Later that day...

We met up with Danielle and her cutie pie kids and had an impromptu water session, I didn't think the water was on this early but hey if they want to freeze their little tushes off who are we to say they shouldn't?

Wednesday

We met up with the Grubb family for a little after school scooting, and ended up pigging out on some really good popcorn Laura brought.  Yum!

Thursday

Natalie and I met up with Chrissy, Cooper and Aubrey.  I must be getting tired since I didn't snap a picture, but it was pretty cute watching Aubrey and Natalie explore the outskirts of the park.  We just watched them from the blanket and wondered what they were talking about. 

 

My big girls got home from school today and asked...where are we going today Mom?  I had to let them down and explain that I am pooped from all of our park excursions.  It has been a fun week for me and I am excited for their spring break next week. 

I can tell you what Friday is going to look like for Natalie and I......

...lots of ZZZzzzzzzz... and cleaning of course.



Busy Saturday

We had a pretty busy Saturday, Zachary had a tournament, the girls had dance and I had a RS Brunch to attend.  Since I was gone in the morning, Zach handled getting everyone where they needed to go then came and picked me up from the brunch.  After that we went to Zachary's tournament, he placed third in sparing, and did pretty darn good overall.  After the tournament was over we headed to the park for a little QT with the family.   Zach got the kids these cool little helicopters that are pretty fun.  Daddy shoots them and they chase them.  Great activity for them to get moving!  After the park everyone was tired and hungry so we picked up some Cafe Rio and got home just in time for Daddy to watch the GSP fight...except he fell asleep.  Overall a busy but fun day!

Arrival of Spring

 For the last few years the only thing I could think about spring was being sick and pregnant.  All three of my pregnancies started out in the spring and anytime I thought about spring, I would start to feel somewhat sick to my stomach. 

 I think I have been officially cured of those bad feelings.  I am in love with spring this year, I am trying to soak in every last drop of this stunning weather before it gets outrageously hot. 

I am so happy that my children are loving this weather also, they ask me to roll down the windows so the cool air can tickle their faces, they will play at the park all evening if I let them, they are pointing out the flowers and blossoms on the trees.  It is such a good time of year, fall better step it up or I might have a new favorite season!

Poor Alexis took a pretty bad tumble!

My pretty little ducks in a row.  This makes me happy!

Weekend

Alexis and Rebecca got to have a sleepover at Grandpa's last weekend and that left me with just two girls for the night.  Since the twins are my most boisterous children, it was no surprise that the house was a little quieter for the evening.  We had a relaxing evening and then went to bed.

In the morning I took Maile to get her glasses fixed and then we did a little shopping and after that headed to the park.  It was a bit windy so we brought Natalie's new Dora kite to play with.  Too bad it was a dud and didn't really fly very high, or stay up for longer than a minute.  The girls had fun anyhow.  After we played for a bit, Grandpa and the twins met up with us and so did Auntie Anna and Jeff.  We had fun playing at the park and kicking the soccer ball around.  It turned out to be a great day!
