A So-So Spring Break!

Spring Break is over and what a strange one it was for us.....definitely not what I was planning on.....but then at the same time I guess it all worked out!!!

On Tuesday, I took the kids to Practically Pikasso to paint plates for fun! They were so excited because they had been wanting to go for a long time. As they were painting, I began to get very achy and before I knew it...I couldn't wait to get home because I felt awful. The rest of Tuesday and all of Wednesday I spent on the couch completely out of sorts....achy, headache, cough....ugh!!! The kids had to fend for themselves and entertain each other all day long. I have to admit they behaved so nicely for me. I think they were just glad to be home without any schedule.

We were suppose to leave for San Antonio on Wednesday but that didn't happen. I did muster up the strength to drive us down on Thursday....only to spend three more days on the couch!!! However, my mom took the kids to the movies to see "Horton Hears a Who" (which is supposedly adorable) and then they went to the park! It was good rest time for me! On Saturday, Andrea and Brian took the kids to an indoor play park where they did glow in the dark mini golf, bumper cars, 3-D movies, video games, etc. So their Spring Break finally had a little bit more excitement, and I slowly recovered.

I can't remember the last time I was so down and out for such a long time. I am thankful for my family for helping me recover by helping out with Ash and Hay.
The best part of all was bringing my mom home with us! She will be here with us for the rest of the week!
Also, Chris had the house spotless when we arrived......that really made me feel better!!!

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures all week.....so you can just imagine the kids playing doctor with their webkinz, building forts with blankets, playing putt-putt in the dark....all the while I was on the couch!!!

One last thing......GO BAYLOR!!! Congrats to the boys basketball team for making the NCAA tournament for the first time in 20 years!!!
