1st week of Spring Break

With 4 weeks of Spring Break to plan for the creativity starts running early. This year I wanted to have a lot of fun during spring break because it is our last month long one. Well, for Noah at least. So I planned to do 29 days of fun. With 6 days down it hasn't been all that bad.

Here is our week and a little extra in review...


Wednesday/Thursday- Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit. They came to pack meeting with us where Noah earned his Webelos badge. Then on Thursday we went to La Jolla Shores because it was a beautiful day. We ran into the Fellars' there too.

Saturday 4/2- The kids wanted to have a party to celebrate the start of Spring Break. I couldn't think of a reason to say no so we did and we had a lot of fun. The kids played a game of capture the flag, we made pizza and pizookies and then watched Planet 51.

Monday-It was beautiful weather and the perfect beach day so we headed up to Del Mar with the Sadlier's and the Shoff's. Unfortunately it was our only good weather day... thus far
Tuesday-The Shoff's came over at 5:30am (very early for me) because one of them was getting his tonsils out and we were watching the others. After that everyone settled back down and got a little bit more sleep. We had breakfast, did piano, played Wii, went outside and played, had lunch and played some more. It was an exhausting day, but fun. We topped the night off with a trip to Baskin Robbins with Dad!Wednesday-This was a new adventure for us. The kids rode their bike at the lake. Lily has been wanting to do this for so long and she was finally able to. She rode 3.5 miles. The boys did 4. I got to run along side her which was great. She only cried a little.Thursday- The boys got to have fun by themselves and went to the movies without an adult. They saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Lily had her fun later with a play date at a friend's house and then a play date at her house. Who doesn't like a day like that. Friday- The kids had a sitter most of today and got to do whatever they wanted. I went to La Jolla with a friend and had lunch at CPK and saw her new (but old) beach house. The kids had so much fun with the sitter. That night we watched some of our favorite Phineas and Ferb episodes on Netflicks after dinner. Yea for family time.


Saturday- chores. That's not fun, but after they were done we went on a hike up Twin Peaks Trail while Lily was at a birthday party. The boys loved the hike and the views. We really need to work on getting them out in nature more. After the hike we picked Lily up and went out to dinner at the Hamburger Factory. yum! It was a great Saturday.


We will see what next week holds for us.
