Remember when the words "Spring Break" used to be followed up with "Woo-Hoo!"? I have distant recollections of that.
These days our Spring Breaks are slightly different, or really, dramatically different. No beaches, no sleeping in, no staying up all night for fun... Although I did get to clean up sand after my kids dragged it in from the backyard, we did get to be up all hours of the night, thanks to our small children, and we did get to enjoy some beautiful weather... Still, not quite the same as it used to be.
There were some fun highlights this past week, though! Each of the kids got to have special times with just Daddy.... Rayna went to the park to do some hiking, Strider went to the mountains to ski for a day, and Colsen went to Story Time at the library. Colsen has also been displaying a love for all things that involve tools and "fixin' stuff" so he got to do some of that as well. Miles stayed home and worked on his first big trick: smiling. (Unfortunately, we don't have any good pictures of that yet, but he's been making us all squeal with delight.)
And I got to have some "outings" as well... I found great joy in taking a trip to Wal-Mart all by myself, walking to the Town Center to have my eyebrows waxed, and spending a couple hours with some friends at Panera. It was nice to get out a few times! Oh -- and we also spent a day at my parents' house -- which was a treat, especially the food!
So, all in all, a good Spring Break -- and we didn't even need to deal with sticky suntan lotion.
