On my spring break I ........

What a whirlwind of a spring break. It is hard to believe that it is already Friday. We started off the week at Grandma Suzanne's for Easter sunday. There was egg dying, egg finding, good food and lots of fun. Lily napped on the way home she was so worn out and full of macaroni and cheese and cookie.

On Monday, Grace attended a swim camp for the morning. She had a blast but was bored all afternoon with mommy and Lily and wishing for some fun and friends. Both girls helped mommy water the neighbors new lawn. We saw our 3 year old neighbor catch and sling a lizard around in our front yard and played with our outside toys. The pollen count was so high, it meant zyrtec and baths for everyone.

Tuesday was a beautiful day. Mommy had lots of early errands to run and medicines to drop off. We started with a trip to Dunkin donuts for lots of chocolate donuts and a blueberry donut for Lily. (I need to remember that blueberry causes green poop, so as not to be frightened by unsuspecting people at diaper change.) Granma Suzanne and Papa came over to help mommy work in the yard. 2000+ pollen count, bad for allergies, lots of bees; but Papa and I braved it, cutting bushes, spreading straw and trying to get ready for spring. Grace's friend came to play in the afternoon and they had lots of fun, dressing up, playing barbies, eating donuts and playing with playdough.

Wednesday went by quickly too. Grace went to swim camp again and was very tired this time. So we had a relaxing afternoon of making brownies and watching movies.

Thursday was the big day, SHOPPING. The girls got their spring, summer and fall wardrobe for the year. Grace got mostly dresses(surprised?), Lily got lots of cute shorts, pjs and some bathing suits. Grace was in desperate need of warm weather clothes that fit, she has grown 3 inches since last summer. Lily really only needed the pjs and bathing suits, but she is going to be the shopper of the family. She loves to look at all the clothes and pick them up. Grandma and Papa took us up to the outlets for some deals. We even helped pick out clothes for cousin Taylor. Unfotunately one shop left the security tag on a dress and one of the shirts we bought a jewel fell off already. So back up there I will have to go. Oh well. Lily had her first Cracker Barrel experience and LOVED it. She had a scrambled egg, some bacon, and Papa shared his macaroni and cheese. Grace did ok, she ate some chicken but loved the double chocolate coca-cola cake.

Which brings us to today. Not much going on. The Hughes are back so we hope to play with them today. I have to work tomorrow morning and then it is the T-man's birthday party. At the beginning of the week I thought it was going to be a very long week, especially on Monday when Grace kept telling me how BORED she was. Now it seems to have flown by.

I hope you all had a good break this spring. Let us know what you did.........
