Yeah Spring Break!

Even though we didn't go anywhere exciting, I still feel like we had a fun Spring Break. We roasted marshmallows and had s'mores for FHE with some neighbors and friends.

I think Maxine was trying to blow on the fire to get it going.


Juliet refused to wear shoes even though the ground was littered with glass and nails.


The fire could've been a little bigger but our Christmas tree just wouldn't burn after all the rain.

On Friday, I took the kids to see The Princess and the Frog at the cheap theater with some other friends. I had visions of my kids sitting and watching the movie without moving a muscle. And they all did great for a solid hour. Then Juliet had to go to the bathroom and when she came back, she didn't want to sit still anymore. About this same time, my friend Shauna gave up and took her wiggly kids home. Then Jack had to go to the bathroom. Then they were all switching seats and Juliet spent the remainder of the movie running up and down the aisle. We made it until the end of the movie but I was exhausted by then. Juliet needs another year.

On the last day of Spring Break, the kids and I took a picnic and went hiking. Jack perfected his bum slide. Then he found this hole and climbed up into it. I promise I didn't pose him. That's just how he sat for his picture.


And then Maxine and Juliet didn't want to be left out of the hole so they all climbed in.


Then we hiked up some narrows. I should've been in the middle so I could help Jack and Juliet climb up so we got stuck for a second until I told Maxine to boost Jack up. That place is skinnier than I remember.


Wahoo Spring Break! I can't wait for summer!
