Spring break is hoppin'

Last week we had Spring Break, YAY! We were ready for it, I guess everyone is ready to take a break from the norm and have fun! It started a little rocky. They all wanted the computer at the same time so some fights broke out so I thought of some chores to do and then they got along a little better. It reminded me of how summer goes. They need some structure...work hard and play hard.

By Wednesday I decided to take them to an Activity Center. It was bounce houses, skating, laser tag and rocket wars all for a good price. They hit the bounce houses first. Tanner brought two of his friends. I asked them to pose for a picture and they took it literally. As you can kind of see by the picture Tanner isn't feeling too well. Soon after this picture he threw up in the bathroom. He went out to the car and went to sleep, poor guy. He had gone swimming with these same boys earlier and maybe he drank too much water or something because none of us ever got sick, shew.





Seth spilled red Icee all down his neck and shirt. I washed it and it actually came out, yay! He had a great time on his scooter, he was doing all sorts of jumps and stunts.

The next day we went to "Jump On It" (Tanner stayed home) with our friends the Walton's who we haven't seen forever. My 3 youngest kids are the same ages as her 3 youngest kids so everyone gets along great. This is just a huge room with trampolines lined up together and even on the walls. It was a lot of fun. My camera is not on the right setting yet again but it still looks cool. After that we went to Sub Zero Ice Cream where they put Nitrous Oxide (or something) into the ice cream liquid to make is solid, it looks like dry ice. It was fun and I felt like we did something for Spring Break. The next day I was off to Denver to Scrapbook with my sister for the weekend. The kids got to eat out a lot with their dad and went to a movie. Fun times had by all.

That's great. You did so many things and then got a couple of days of mom time.
