Mondays. Monday is typically met with resistance, especially from Zman as he gets ready for school. Today, it was me who struggled.
Our Spring Break is over and I am sad. Before it started I wondered how in the world we were going to fill all that time, 9 days. We were planning a family vacation but at the last minute it fell through. I have to admit, I was NERVOUS. The kids can't last 9 minutes without fighting, let alone 9 whole days!! My first thought was to keep them SUPER busy so they wouldn't have time to bicker, whine, moan or groan.
But somewhere along the line I took a breath. I relaxed and let the schedule naturally fall into place. We had lazy mornings, late lunches, movies in bed, games, reading, and LOTS of snuggle time. We did go someplace everyday just to keep it fresh, but for the most part we hibernated. It was wonderful and something we all needed. The time at home brought my kids together. It did my heart good to see my two playing like friends. They laughed together, created together, shared secrets, planned games, played tag. Basically, they were inseparable. FOLKS, THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!

THESE are the sweetest pics! I love the last one. Too cute. My daughter most of her Spring break sick in bed. I did enjoy the days when we had no rushed schedule. I can't wait for summer!
Where did that big kid in flip flops and cuffed pants come from?
Love lu's shoes. Wish I could pull off a smocked dress and sparkly pink shoes. Those were the days.
AMEN! Especially to the sparkly shoes! I'm so glad we got to spend some of our break together!

We're on spring break this week. I've already heard..."there's nothing to do!" and "we never have any fun!". Thankfully, Daddy now gets to occupy her time while I'm back at work.
Glad you had a nice one!
Wow...Z better watch out I think Lou is going to pass him up.
I believe she is what the folks call a tall drink of water!
Too cute!
Does your bunny not hide the baskets?

Janelle,

Spring break was great! Looks like you had a great Easter. Love that last pic with L's hand on her hip. She looks sassy!
Gotta love the sparkle shoes...we have many pairs in my house. =)
Your kids are darling! Glad I'm not the only one that deals with children fighting alot. Thankfully, they are starting to come out of that stage, but sometimes it drives me nuts!!
