Spring Break

This past week was Texas Spring Break.
It's big down here...
EVERYONE (well not working class lawyers, unfortunately) gets a whole week off...
And expectations are high.

Even though I don't officially have kids in school yet, Beth did get the week off of preschool and Izzy didn't have her gymnastics class.
I didn't want to spend the whole week at home doing nothing and I wanted to make spring break kinda fun for the girls...

This is what we ended up with:

Mon:
Ikea....
Playland, lunch, balloon characters, face painting, and a little shopping for Mom :)

Tues:
A re-cupe day for Mom after walking around all day the day before.
The girls spent a fair amount of time outside with bubbles and the tramp.
I was able to open up my book and relax for a blessed while.

Wed:
Another doctor appointment.
Lunch with Lance at Mighty Fine (their shakes are my new best friends),
A quick trip to Ross and Michaels (can you ever have enough comfortable preggy shirts?)
A couple hours at a new park

Thurs:
Swimming at the indoor pool at the YMCA
A girls night out with my gals at BJ's
March Madness

Fri:
Bounce house birthday party for the girls
A late lunch at Zilker Park
Canoeing with Lance on the lake, complete with feeding the ducks
Costco
Panda Express dinner

Sat:
Mostly yard work and cleaning the house
Buying a new Tempurpedic KING sized bed!!!!
A few more errands.... back to Costco
More March Madness (we are really enjoying watching the Y play this year.... Utah State...not so much)

This week we're back to the norm.
Errands...
Getting new bedding
Setting up and planning how I want the guest room
(I can't tell you how excited I am to actually HAVE a guest room...now my moms won't have to sleep on an air mattress when they come in May!!!)
Preschool
Church calling meetings
Visiting Teaching
Etc....

After all that and I never even though about taking pictures. Sometimes I just like to sit back and enjoy the activities instead of worry about taking pictures.... of course when I blog about it later I always regret not having them. Posts with pictures are so much more interesting.
Sorry.
