The week of Spring Break is coming to a close and even though it was quite uneventful it was nice not to have to get the kids to school and dance etc.
The weather wasn't that great, last year we set up the tramp and had short sleeve shirts on, NOT this year. It has been really quite cold and there have only been about 2 days that it was warm enough for the kids to go outside and play.
Besides on Friday teaching Olivia how to ride a two-wheeler and Austin actually getting to use his bike he got for Christmas.

Friday some friends came over to play for a few hours right before they moved to Seattle, Washington. They have 3 girls the exact age of my girls and Olivia and Grace are in the same preschool class and they are in our Ward. (It was sad for my girls to see them go and even tonight when I tucked Olivia into bed and told her Monday she could go back to school, she said, "It will be happy and sad to go back to school, happy because Miss Jenny will be back and sad because Gracie won't be there.")
Saturday night we rented "Wreck it Ralph" and watched that as a family.
We had two friends (Leila and Greydon) say over for two nights (Sunday and Monday) while their parents were out of town, so we are calling that a sleepover and playing with friends.
Tuesday before our friends went home, we went to the library.
We had a playgroup at the church on Wednesday and then meet dad at the West Lakes Hospital (where he is working this month), went to lunch, and went shopping for a new bedspread. It was a nice day when we got home so the kids played outside with their friends for a few hours. Later that night I was planning on finishing the shopping by myself but a 1/2 hour after Jason got home he got called back in and stayed the night at the hospital (not worth the drive back home) so instead of going by myself, the kids and I left at 7pm and got home at 9pm after going to 4 stores looking for bedroom stuff (it's a good thing my kids just go with the flow, most the time, because that is the story of our life.)
Thursday we went to the gym which they were excited to do and then went shopping for more bedroom stuff and took back 1/2 the stuff we had bought the night before.
Today, since it's the last day of break I decided to take them swimming after I got done working out, so that's what we did. It was fun except the life guard told me the rules are 2 kids per adult but if I keep them all within arms length and stayed in the shallow, even though 3 of them had life jackets on, then I would be okay this time. We did our best and had fun but I felt like he was always watching me.
Then we went to the mall, Savannah wanted to go to Claire's and I decided the play place would be another fun, cheap, place to go. We ended the day going to Dairy Queen because we had free sundae's there and came home to watch a movie.
Overall it was a fun day and a fun week (at least when they weren't fighting.)
Can't believe there are only 2 months of school left! And since it is Spring now I can't wait for Spring Weather, but we will have to wait because it's supposed to snow again Sunday.
