Spring Break Flake

The kids went back to school this morning. I have to tell you that even though they got stir crazy at times and did their fair share of fighting, I definitely enjoyed our time together at home!

Little Boy was sick the last few days before break, so he was still recovering.

We had no schedule, nothing planned and just flew by the seats of our pants! Or were glued by the seats of our pants to the couches anyway.

Here are a few pictures from our break.

The first day we woke up to this:

Seriously.

Seriously?!

Yeah.

The next shots are from my phone so you'll have to excuse the quality.

The boys and I had to shovel the end of the driveway just because it was so slick...we didn't want to slide around and hit the phone pole that's not too far away on the other side of the driveway! I do not recommend shoveling snow. If you live in Michigan or someplace? Move.

Both of my boys actually cuddled with me! And quite a bit too. This makes me happy. You can't probably tell but Little Boy is wearing his jammies. Because spring break = wearing jammies all day if you wanna!

Little Boy also lost his second tooth!

That exclamation point and sentence, on it's surface, does not let you know the drama that was behind this feat. For some reason he's sort of absolutely terrified to lose his teeth and so he kept it in, hanging by a thread for 2 days. After the second day of not talking, eating, or hardly even drinking to avoid it getting knocked out accidentally, I made the executive decision:

It's comin' out. Like it or not.

And...he did not. Like it, that is. But it came out anyway.

During our many negotiations (mostly me, not his dad, because daddy does not negotiate with terrorists) the bribe offer of Lime Berry came up. Lime Berry = Do it yourself frozen yogurt shop where you add your own toppings, etc.

This generous offer didn't work. But once it had been offered, it couldn't be forgotten.

So one day we bundled up and left the house. They did their two favorite things and it cost me less than $15. We went to the Used Book Store and they picked out some books and then we went to the beloved Lime Berry.

We always joke that Little Boys concoctions remind us of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

I worked on a lot of totes. Made some business cards (for free! vista print, y'all. highly recommend.) and received them.

Got a replacement ac cord for the Wii, because as it turned out, the cord absorbed the frying, not the console. Whew!

Had some play dates with the bff and her kiddos and our super cute cousin.

Got sucked in to the local garage sale facebook site. Sold some stuff. Yay!

Watched Hunger Games. Loved. (not as much as the books. never as much as the books.)

Started reading a book that I've been meaning to for a long time but just never got around to it. Sure, I read parts of it, even studied parts, but never read it in it's entirety. So. I began reading the Bible. It's a study Bible so about half of each page is filled with helpful notes and instruction. It probably weighs 8,000 pounds! Okay, maybe not. I'm exaggerating.

More like 7,999 pounds.

And one final shot...I got a good one of each of the boys during their one snowball fight. I added some doohickey things that I thought were hilarious. I crack myself up, ya know!

And now that Spring Break is over? Whatever Little Boy had and was recovering from was passed onto me. Joy!
