Shew Wee, Spring Break Isn't for Sissies!!!

Good grief I am tired. I am not sure why Spring Break is suppose to be relaxing, there is nothing relaxing about it ~ pure nonstop action! The kids want to have a typed out agenda each morning with hour by hour explanation of what is next. We have had a busy week thus far and it is only Wednesday but we have had a lot of fun along the way. Our week started with the "dreaded" first dental visit. I had put it off long enough, William is four and should have seen a dentist two years ago but I have delayed for one reason or the other so no Mother of the Year Awards in my near future;) I decided to take both at the same time for moral support and to try and be as efficient as possible, crazy probably but it all worked out great! The kids LOVE Dr. Massy as do Edwin and myself (he is in our Sunday School Class and his wife is a great friend of mine). It was a fun experience and NO ONE CRIED, including me!! We were in and out in an hour with bouncy balls in hand and white smiles, nothing could be better right?? It gets better, we called our neighbor on the way home and Elliot, Elijah and Baby Ellison came over for lunch and playtime ~ WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY... Pictures are below for your viewing pleasure ;)

Well, to try to top off a perfect Monday we went for a terrific Tuesday and managed it!! Our dear friend Liv and her super mom Heidi came over for some playtime, lunch and sewing (the mommas). We had a sewing bee set up in my kitchen, the kids ran around and played with all the windows open to the house so we could hear and see them and we just had our Brother machines humming along. I was able to learn how to make pants and a halter top for Grace and the kids managed to get muddy from head to toe:) It is not a party until somebody does and mud dive in the back yard! Let's just say that no one napped, and I was washing dirt and mud from places I never thought would reach! The kids had a blast and so did I ~ Thank you Heidi for a sewing lesson that will prove to be so much fun for years to come!! We just don't know what the rest of the week will hold but I will make sure to fill ya in our adventures so stayed tuned!! Pictures are below of the mud fun and lovely creation that I was able to make for Miss Gracie. I do hope that your week be it Spring Break or not holds to be sunny, fun and full of love ~ from our family to yours ~ Kisses!!!

hang in there!!! these long weeks with everyone home can be brutal. i didn't think we would make it through christmas holidays.
and my sister's always goading me to put googly eyes on things. she's being sassy.....
thanks for the compliment. i can't wait to hang them. i think one on each side of the window in nealy's room - or above the bed... still can't decide. i'm having so much fun getting that room put together. i'll be sure to blog about it before the week is up!

Just catching up on some blog reading & saw the shout-out; thanks! Dr. Massey & family (especially the wife) LOVE YOU, TOO!! I can't believe you went to his office during Spring Break, one of the absolute busiest, craziest weeks of their year, hands-down. But so glad to hear it went so well! Loving the blog & missing seeing you. Call soon!
