Time as a SAHM: Spring Break, I can't believe it's over

It's hard to believe that Spring Break flew by so quickly. I really enjoyed having all the kids home (I wasn't sure how it would go at first). It was so nice not having to worry about schedules, catching the bus, and all the other business. Leah did have some homework, but we really kept the week low key.

We started spring break with a weekend trip to Mammaw and Pappy's house. It was our first experience taking the dog with us on a visit. The dog did fine on the trip, but during our visit he was terrible. He had to spend most of the time on the leash or in the cage since he kept wanting to mark his territory. (We are getting him and Harvey fixed tomorrow so hopefully that helps some.) Dash did have a lot of fun playing with Oscar (Bill and Karen's dog). The visit was very nice (other than dog issues).

We started the week off slow and relaxing. On Wednesday Aunt Steph took Leah and Caleb to her house for a sleepover. They were so excited! They had such a good time. Then on Thursday we had a skating trip planned with one of Leah's school friends. This was the first skating trip that the kids had ever done. I was nervous about it, but luckily Rod had planned to take a half day and Alissa stayed with him, maybe Alissa will go next time. Both Leah and Caleb enjoyed skating at first. We first got the Fisher Price skates that they could easily get around in. Caleb pooped out on me quickly, but Leah could have skated even longer. She ended up getting the "fast" skates and she did surprisingly well with them. I was very proud of her. It was good quality time with Leah's friend Maddie and Caleb made up with her sister Maryn. Maryn and Caleb go to school together, but Caleb has always refused to even say hi. By the end of our outing Caleb and Maryn were teaming up on name calling against the older girls.

After skating we took a trip to Papa's house. We ended up having a couple of really beautiful days up there. They weather was great and the kids enjoyed the farm and playing outside. Leah spent a lot of time talking to the cows and Caleb wanted to spend his time on the tractors!

The weekend was spent going to a Easter egg hunt, birthday party, egg coloring, church, finding Easter baskets and Adam and Steph's for a yummy non-traditional Easter dinner. The week flew by, but it was very nice.

I hope you enjoy these pictures from our week.
