Spring Break 2010

Last week was spring break. Mother Nature did not recieve the school district's schedule in time and did not cooperate. It was cold...Butt Cold! It snowed...a lot. We made the best of it. I personally completed 16 scrapbook layouts-from start to finish. AND finished two that I started months ago. That's a total of 18. I have been in a rut for MONTHS and it was good to get out of it! It makes me happy.

I had great plans to cook lots of yummy dishes...and finishing my twisty quilt top...but was in my scrappin' groove.

The girls and I went to the pool...a HUGE deal for me...I generally avoid places where high school students may be...especially in a swimsuit :) I made it 2 1/2 hours without a single, "Hi Mrs. Smith". Then in the locker room I got three. Oh well, the girls had a blast. Emily even went off the HIGH dive. I was pretty proud-especially since I have NEVER gone off the high dive. We went with the Curtis's and had a great time.

Thursday Brad was off and we went to Chuckee Cheese and spent 800 dollars on crappy pizza and cheap prizes. It was fun! Brad and Josh shot mummies. Erin has a funny picture on her blog; check it out.

The only thing Brinley wanted to do for Spring Break was go to the fish farm. Yes, I know it is not REAL fishing, but I have kids and I don't have the time or paitience to go REAL fishing. We had a blast and spent 300 dollars on fish that the kids wouldn't eat!

We also went to the Tooele Easter Egg Hunt. Brad "practiced" aggressive hunting with the girls before we left...even told them that the more eggs they find the more he will love them...didn't help. Out of thousands of eggs, my girls brought home a grand total of 7. Good thing we love them unconditionally.

I would have included pictures...but haven't downloaded and my camera is ALL the way upstairs. Next post will be picture heavy I promise.

Now it's back to work. (insert crying, wailing and knashing of teeth).
BUT only 9 weeks left!
Ya hear that Mother Nature....Tooele Co. School District gets out on June 3rd. I expect summer weather!
