Spring Break 2010

This year has flown by, I cannot believe we are already in the middle of spring break. And I am so thankful that Elmore and Montgomery counties are smart enough these days to have their spring break on the same week - there have been years when they haven't been.

We had hoped to set up a trip to see my cousin and fam in Florida or our friends in Texas over the holiday, but since I broke my heel I can't drive that distance. Thankfully it should heal soon though and we will be burning up the highways come summer :). My cousin's baby is gonna be grown by the time I see her LOL!!

Even though we are staying home this year I still wanted to do some fun little things for the kids so it would truly be a break for them. Emily came over on Monday and that was our non-fun workday, LOL. We did a few chores and organized/emptied/decluttered the dining room. A project she and I have been wanting to get too. So it wasn't really "non-fun". We did get in some kid play time, tv time and board game time. Tuesday the kids spent the day at United Gymstars at a day camp. They had such a good time - it was a day full of running, jumping, climbing, tumbling, hide and seek, kickball, dodgeball, duck/duck/goose, etc. I think David would have moved in ;) The Holliday girls went too and spent the night with us last night. The girls and I stayed up until 1:00am playing board games. We are all rolling out of bed today around 10:00am. Our plans for today, Wednesday, are to go to Prattville and paint. It's one of those places where you pick out your piece and they help you get set-up with your paints, etc. and then when you finish you leave it for them to be put in the kiln and you pick it up in like a week or so. We still have a few days left after this and hopefully we'll come up with a few more fun things to do.

David has that yucky cold stuff. I call it the weather changing cold. Runny nose (clear), productive cough and mildly elevated temperature - 100 average. With his history of ears, etc. I went ahead and took him in to pediatrician and no strep, lungs clear, ears great, etc. Just a cold. She said that actually it isn't a fever unless it is 100.4. Another thing I learned is with hand sanitizer you need a large quarter-sized dollop. The soap was out in the restroom and David and I were using the hand sanitizer in the hall and didn't realize she was behind us. She was noticing how much we were using and told me to use more! Interesting stuff - I never knew either of those things. So basically he's fine, just a little uncomfortable with the nose and coughing.

Dan is working on the design plan for solar cells at our largest apartment complex. He hopes to start purchasing the materials and get the project going within the next couple of weeks. He's very excited.

My heel is killing me and doesn't seem to be getting better, but I am really doing well otherwise. I love having the kids home for spring break and love having their friends over. I also got a new haircut and new color - ready for warm weather now!!!
