Super Lily, Fly Girl Gracie and Super Bunny

So spring break around these parts brought some crazy folks.  We had days of laying in our pajamas and wearing funny clothes.  Lily's favorite pastime was putting on her sister's old supergirl costume and running around "saving" things.  Grace would then put on a made up costume of a dressup skirt, an old scarf tied around her for a shirt and butterfly wings and be Super Fly Girl.  Lily was Super Eeiy.  She can't say the L's in her name at all.  Then her build-a-bear bunny would turn into Super Bunny.  Lily then liked to climb the stairs and say she was flying.  Luckily not off the stairs. 

We spent afternoons outside riding scooters, tricycles, playing with chalk, eating snacks and having a good time with the neighborhood street rats.  The older kids would play hide and seek and when they finished a round you would hear the smallest voice saying "find me".  Grace then took to holding Lily's hand and hiding with her to feel a part of the whole group.

We went to Walmart one day and purchased a new two wheeled pink razor scooter for Grace based on her behavior tickets and she passed the three wheeled princess scooter down to Lily.  We also bought cousin Taylor's fifth birthday present.  ( yes he is that old, hard to believe Kindergarten next year)  We replaced the shower rack in the master bathroom, got some construction paper and some eggs for the girls and my classes respective Easter activities.  We also ate a picnic lunch of chick-fil-a and later went to Menchies for some yummy frozen yogurt.

We had a playdate with our friends that do not live on the street but would fit in greatly and the older kids took a walk down to the lake(Thank you Ms. Lara and Mr. David for being adventerous)  The girls stayed up late, slept late and ate a lot of food(some not so good)

Daddy had to work two of his three jobs, but took the day off on Friday for some family fun time.  We went to Menchies again, the blockbuster that is closing :(, and back to Walmart.  We played outside and in, we cleaned and did laundry and had dinner with friends.

All in all it was a great week.  Unfortunately we had a leak in the master bathroom that caused a drip in the family room which left a hole and now we need some new insulation.  This week we found out Tom has been furloughed 5 days over the next 4 1/2 months as well as 10% cuts in his office's budget, and in September probably more furlough days and possible bigger cuts.  Lily has her MRI and CT scan hanging over our heads which means no wedding this coming weekend for us.  And summer is coming which means my paychecks come to an end for a couple of months.  

So hopefully things will get better quickly and calm the ($*#%@* down.  Until then pray for Lily to be miraculously better and no surgery or catherizations will be needed. That mommy and daddy don't go crazy with worry and Grace gets on pink(behavior chart in which she gets tickets instead of money).
