Spring Break

Well we have officially started Spring.  Although with snow & cold weather it sure doesn't feel like it.  The kids are on spring break this week and so far it has gone well.  After having snow on Friday, we were thankfully able to have #2's 7th birthday party on Sunday.  It was an outdoor army party with games and all.  I am so thankful that the weather was beautiful that day!  And we had a good time overall.  

Monday we decided to go to the zoo.  Boy was it crazy & crowded!!  We had 7 kids and 3 adults on this excursion and at times it was a little nerve wracking trying to keep track of everyone.  But in the end we all survived and thankfully no one got lost.  I need to remember for next time not to go at noon.  The parking there, which is limited anyways, was sparse to say the least.  My favorite part of the trip was watching the Hippos.  There was one in the water swimming around and playing with it's ball.  Those things can get really noisy!! 

Today the kids have spent most of the day at a neighbor friends house and at the park.  It sure is quiet around here. . you would think I would take advantage and get some chores done, but NO.  I am relaxing. 

I am working on a few more things for the kids to do this week, maybe hit a museum or 2 and hopefully attend an art event.
