Spring Break

Spring break used to mean a sunny vacation with friends, day drinking with lots of silliness and careless behavior. Oh, spring break was fun! Times have changed and spring break now parallels the movie, Ground Hogs Day.


Here is a list of activities we did over spring break:
Ice-skating (twice)
Swimming at the Waukee pool (twice)
Doing $2 kids crafts at Michaels (twice)
Setting up and jumping on the trampoline jumpoline  (lots)
Playing with neighbors. (lots)
Watching Daddy play video games. (Surprisingly the kids think this is so much fun.)
Eric suvee cooking or smoking food (every day)


Spring break is still fun, it's just different now. Laura has been going through a "babysitting" stage and would get up with Sam and "babysit" him in the mornings. She'd get his cereal, pour chocolate milk on it (if the white milk jug was too full and heavy) and then they'd snuggle while watching cartoons. How cute is that?!

I'm wrapping up our 2015 home video. During spring break, the kids would go to bed and I would sit at the computer and watch countless hours of home video footage of them. I'm not going to lie, it was kind of brutal. I'm super happy with how it's turning out and the hours spent watching crap footage to find the adorable two second clips here and there are proving to all be worth it.


The days of foam parties, staying up until 3am, and worrying only about myself are long over. Day drinking...now that's another story. ;-)

Can you guess the two that are totally into gaming?

Laura was selected Ashland Ridge's Kindergarten Artist of the Month for her clay Wild Things project. I think she's glowing. :-)
