Not what I expected in a Spring Break.

Sophia's 1st Spring Break was/is this week. I had decided a few months ago that we should try to travel somewhere, Chicago, Centralia, or just somewhere. Well none of that panned out. I had already taken the week off, but ended up returning one of the days since Justin was off to be able to watch the kids. So, I figured that this would be a prelude to summer break. I decided to make plans and have ideas for each day of the week to keep us all busy. However, it did not work out as planned.

First of all, the weather for the week was COLD and RAINY.

Monday: Great day, the kids actually did not even try to kill each other, we made it to Sam's, then lunch with my parents and swimming before a nap. Miles felt a little warm after his nap. That night he began to spike fevers.

Tuesday: Canceled play date d/t miles being sick. Justin stayed home to help with the illness. Sophia traveled to have a G.G. and Sophia date.

Wednesday: Miles feeling better, but still canceled breakfast and another play date. Having chimney work done on the house, so we went to my parents for the day to stay away from the noise and dust.

Thursday: BEAUTIFUL DAY: My dad came over to watch the house so we could get out and enjoy the ONE really nice day of spring break. He made green scrambled eggs for Miles and Pink ones for Sophia. They both loved the "different" eggs. Miles went to Kindercare for the day. Sophia and I packed the entire spring break plans into this day.....
Zoo, lunch out, Swimming at the rec center, playing on the computer, and then to the park. We were both exhausted and Sophia was asleep at 7:45.

None the less, i am glad to be going to work tomorrow. I had hoped to be able to figure out how to manage the kids and keep them busy for the week by myself, but the weather did not hold up, illness set in our house, and work being done on the house did not allow for any form of normalcy. Hopefully the summer break will be less eventful, but full of outdoor time and early bedtimes!
