Spring Break!

This week is my spring break! No, I'm not in school, but no piano lessons, no church obligations, and Ross has four days off. So not much of a schedule means a little more play time this week. I've decided to do something with the kids each day a little more out of the games, coloring, movies and puzzles we normally do. Then document it hopefully every day starting today. Since it's Wednesday, I'll cover three days with this post.

Monday: if you know me at all, you know I can't relax and have fun if the house is a disaster. So nothing to report but cleaning and laundry. Housework makes you ugly!

Tuesday: I decided to have a picnic with the kids. It was a little chilly outside, so I spread a blanket out on the living room floor. Cousin Autumn was over and the kids enjoyed it.






Morgan stuffing his face with a potato wedge. He loved not being confined in the high chair.



Wyatt and Misty fought over my fish sticks. Three fish fillets and we gobbled them up! Made me feel good.

The real cuteness.

Wednesday: Morgan is 15 months old today. He is getting braver and braver with his walking. This morning, after I got him dressed, I folded up the diaper. I handed it to him and said, "Go put it in the garbage." I didn't expect him to. Just then my phone rang and I ran into the kitchen to answer. While I was on the phone, I turned around to see Morgan walking in with the diaper and he threw it away! Yes, child number three and I still got excited!


After lunch we went for a walk. It was a little warmer today, and I was dying to get out. Misty fell asleep, so when we got back I put a blanket on her and let her keep sleeping with the seat reclined. I checked on her a few times before she woke up, but once she did, she wanted to stay right where she was. The sun was out and I think she just wanted to be in it. A girl after her mama's heart.





Later on, we drove over to Nephi to drop my vehicle off at the auto shop. We piled in the truck with Ross and went to Arby's for dinner. I love my young children. They are so easy to please. The highlight of their day was picking out their drink to go with their chicken and fries.



Not to mention the fun airplanes that came with their kids meals.



Misty thought hers was a gun at first. That made Ross smile--a girl after her daddy's heart as well.
