Spring Break Fun and Follies!

I really love my children but the older they get and the more they want "stuff" to do, the more school breaks become more about my ability to be a very a good activities director than anything else.

Of course, Daddy had to go to Atlanta for part of the week so I did a lot of deep breathing...and praying... to get through the week with my sanity in tact.

The boys and I actually had fun. The problem is that they aren't used to being with each other 24/7 anymore so there was a bit of fighting.;) Every time, I turned my back there was devious plotting or making a pool for the farm animals in the bathroom sink(see above picture of Luke hanging over the bathroom sink).

We hit 1/2 Price Books for a shopping spree,daily trips to the Y so mommy could get in some sweat equity, did the Dallas Zoo, numerous area parks, hours of baseball(I always have to pitch), lots of fun lunches and picnics and an uncountable amount of hours finding ways to use dirt as part of our adventures!

They both fixated on the strange bird(see above pic) at the zoo, but Luke was enamoured with the new baby okapi we saw on the monorail...he wants a pet okapi.

I did survive however and they were pretty well behaved...Jon rewarded me by taking me out for dinner on Friday night!
