Spring Break 2010!!

Ahhh...spring break. Spring break is awesome. We have had such a fun week. We started the week off with a trip downtown in which I drove all 4 kids down town by myself and even parked in a parking garage! Yes, I have a bit of a fear of downtown driving and definitely prefer to stay away from parking garages. Too many cars packed into one place and I am pretty much guaranteed to not ever find my car again. We spent the morning at Kaleidoscope, which is somewhere we use to go as kids too - it's basically one big room set up to do a million different crafts and it's all free. It's so much fun. And if you know my kids at all, they are obsessed with doing crafts. We do on average about 13 crafts per day per kid. So, as you can imagine, they had a blast. I can't wait to go back again. Then we went over to Crown Center and went to a free "fairy tale" exhibit that was lots of fun and finished off the morning with lunch at Fritz's (where the train brings you your food). Such a great day!! And we even found the car when we left. Oh, did I mention we went with 54 of our closest friends? So much fun. That was our Monday. Tuesday we packed up and headed to the farm! Austin, Ashlyn and Gabriella got to stay there until tonight with their other cousins, Bo and Christy. They love hanging out with their cousins and spending time on the farm. From what I gathered they mostly enjoyed the creek and splashing in the mud - good times!! Some of my fondest childhood memories are all from hanging out on the farm so we are so blessed that our kids get to do that. Thanks grandma and grandpa turner for taking on all the grand kids this week! So, with 3 of my kiddos gone, it was just me and Lucas. And it was awesome. We slept in, we went shopping, we snuggled, we played. It was really nice to get to spend time with just my lucas. And now the week is almost over - time flies. Summer is going to be here so quick. As for me I am going to enjoy a quiet night here - Shawn is out for Guys Night Out so I am going to snuggle up and continue watching some basketball.
Until next time - - - Go Cats!
