Spring Break



picnic time!

I've decided the term "spring break" is an oxymoron for parents!  Its not a break, its actually more work!  However, we have had a lot of fun this week visiting friends and having friends over.  We went to the park, played for hours outside, had picnics, and we squeezed some cleaning and errands in with all the fun.  We picked strawberries yesterday with one of my friends from college. 

We had to dip some of the strawberries!

On Sunday we started spring break with a trip to the park with Jason, and then McDonalds for a "snack." The kids thought it would be fun to be the mom and dad so that night they slept in our bed (we moved them when we went to bed) and Jackson made me breakfast in the morning. By 10, he decided it was too much work being in charge and said he wanted to be a kid again.

Today we are getting ready for Jacksons birthday cookout, which will be tomorrow night. Right now, Aunt Sarah is upstairs playing with the kids-yeah!! Of course, its been 80 and sunny and tomorrow its supposed to be 59 and rainy-ugh...
