Spring Break

Spring break was slightly lame this year. I tried to make it fun, I really did but I had to babysit for part of the week and the weather didn't cooperate to do anything outdoors so we just had to make the best of things. All of our kids friends came back from their breaks with tales of DisneyWorld and sunny beaches and our kids got to say they shoveled snow and took a trip to the mall!

And that's pretty much what we did. Lynnsey, Spencer and Kaya all had some Barnes and Noble gift cards that they got when they opened up their savings account way back when and they'd never used them yet. So we went shopping there and the kids bought some fun books and Spencer used his card to buy a birthday gift for Kaya. Then we wandered around some of the other stores and the kids played on the silly little rides in the lobby.

Another day we went to Kid's n Stuff to play. It actually was pretty fun since it had been forever since we'd been.

We did also manage to have some fun watching movies and playing board games. Definitely not DisneyWorld but it's always nice to have a break from the mundane day to day stuff and just spend some time playing even if we do have to stay home in frigid Michigan.
