Spring Break Survival: Last Day!

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!”

Spring Fever

I took my temperature this morning and I have it… SPRING FEVER. I have tried to keep it at bay. I tried to fight it off but still I am sick with it. I am yearning for spring. Perhaps it is all of the spring dresses in the stores, perhaps it is the posts that others are making online. All I know is that this morning I was totally sick with it! I was thinking about why I love Spring so much and here are the top 5 reasons that I have Spring fever.

Spring is a new begining. All winter I struggle not to get caught up too much in the winter blues. Each year I fail! I look at Spring as a new begining. Baby birds start coming to life, flowers start popping out of the ground, and the buds are on the trees. It is a fresh start for everything including me!
Spring is warm. It is not hot! It is warm. You still need a sweater but the sun feel warm on your face as it smiles down on you. The windows can be open each day to let some fresh air in and the family can take a family hike or its first family letterboxing trip.
Spring has flowers. Not only does Spring offer flowers but it offers my favorite flowers. Tulips are the flower I love the most. They are just as delicate as a rose in features but last and last. I just love them!
Spring is a time to play. This means that the kids want to go out more and more. They are feeling this fever too and it is all they can do not to be house ridden with this fever! Spring means that they can run and have some fun without FREEZING!
Spring brings the sun. As I mentioned the sun gets warmer in the spring but there is something else that the spring sun does! The spring sun makes the days longer. There is nothing more depressing then it being dark out by 4pm. Now the sun shines longer and longer. I have noticed this in the past week or so. Perhaps that is why I have this fever.

I would love to hear your favorite things about Spring! I know that we all have at least 5! Be careful though, do not come too close. I do not want you to catch the fever also!
