Spring Break

To continue from my previous post about Karlee's spring break, I will continue to share what the rest of us did during that week.  Dillon, my step-son went out to Cameron for the week to spend time with his grandparents and his little brothers and sister.  His mother was there too and was able to spend some time with her also.  He hadn't seen his mom in a long time and there is some distance between them but he came back saying he had a nice time visiting in Cameron.  I'm glad it turned out to be a nice week for him.

So that leaves Kyle and Sara.  Yep they were stuck with me.  Well not stuck but it was just the three of us during the day since Micah was working.  I enjoyed the week with them.  It was nice to have just my two younger ones.  We had a nice week.  We had dental appointments and things like that but I managed to have some fun with them.

Monday-nothing, we had a lazy day around the house, you know the kind...in our jammies and movie after movie.

Tuesday-We went to the movies and saw the new Dr. Sues movie, the Lorax.  After the movie I gave them a dollar to play a driving game in the arcade.  Later they continued to bond together by getting along and setting up sleeping bags down stairs to sleep in the living room together and stay up watching movies together.

Oddly enough Sara was actually head of Kyle and winning the race..Sara driving hmmm

Wednesday-Started off taking Kyle to his appointment at the out patient part in the hospital to get a shot for an exam later in the afternoon to look at his back. (he's had pain for awhile and may have a stress fracture and normal x-ray didn't pick up anything)  So he got a shot with radio active stuff so they can see his bones.  We called him Radioactive Boy for the day.  We had to go back at 1:30 for the exam so until then we went to the library and got pizza for lunch.  I washed the van and the two of them were still getting along and they slept in the living room again.

I really enjoyed and loved watching them get along so much.  Great memories were made this week.

Thursday-Kyle's dentist apt., lunch with their dad and then we went ice skating.

Friday-They started to go their separate ways...Sara went to a friends house in the afternoon for a play date then sleep over.  Kyle went ice skating with a friend then a sleep over.  That left me having most of the day by myself.  Dillon came back the night before.  He spent his time at the skate park.  Micah worked.  That evening the three of us went out to dinner and had Chinese food at China Star.

I enjoyed the week, the weather was perfect, all geared up and excited about spring then.....a storm hit and we were covered with a thick white blanket of snow.  The kids didn't go back on Monday to school since it had snowed so much.  But as fast as it came it also went fast too and now we are looking into spring again.

Melting fast to uncover Spring.  It was neat to walk the dogs and hear natures symphony with a drip here and there and a running down of snow melting .
