Here we are with 21 hours left of this terribly long Spring break.  I do not understand why it is called a break.  I think that the bigger break will come tomorrow when all of the kids head back to school.  I can see why it is a break for the kids but I did not find that it was all that much of a break.  I think that the kids had an alright time.  Here are a few things that we did.

• We went to the park which was great.  Not only did the kids have a great time but they also burned off some of that left over winter cabin fever.
• We had a beauty day where I was able to cut Emma’s hair.  We also did finger nails and toe nails.  The girls had a great time and this gave me great ideas for summer break.  Perhaps we will have theme days this summer.  This will keep the kids interested.
• We had play dates.  The girls have a friend down the street who they played with a lot this break.  I just have one quick question… when did playing become a date?  I remember I used to just go and knock on the door of a friend or two and see who could play.  All of this prearranging is a little stressful!
• We went to our friends house and had dinner and the kids watched movies and played games while the adults had adult time.
• We played Wii for an entire day!  I could not believe how addictive it was.  I think that on a rainy summer day the Wii will come in handy.  We may been have to buy a few more games in order to assure that we can have fun all summer long.
• We got a little more unpacking done.  This was really important.  I am getting tired of all of the clutter.  I just hate living out of boxes.

I think that we could have done more.  I just am not sure that I can sustain all of this entertaining of children all summer long.  How I wish that I could afford camp for the entire summer!  All I have to say to Spring break is “Hit the road jack!”
