Maybe one day we will be that family that sets off to fabulous destinations on Spring Break. But in the meantime, this Spring Break will probably be a typical Spring Break for the Thompsons.
Monday - Sleep late. Run errands. Reward kids with a Slurpee from 7-11 for being good while running errands. Pull weeds in the front and back yard for 2 hours. Everyone, including Mommy goes to bed at 8PM.
Tuesday - Sleep late. Can't hardly move from weed-pulling fun that was had yesterday. Keep pajamas on all morning while playing with kids and trying not to move too much. Get new church shoes for Riley and groceries from Walmart. Again, a banner day.
Wednesday - Sleep not-so-late. Go to friend's house to play all morning. Have a blast! Come home and nap. Spot clean carpets that evening.
Thursday - Sleep late. Eat breakfast around 10AM. Go to park and play around 11AM. Grab Sonic and return to the park for more playing. Come home and collapse on the couch or in the crib, depending on who you are. Go get ice cream that night for 10 great jobs in the "Great Job Can"- whoo-hoo!
Friday - Sleep late, again. Watch tons of Dora and Diego all morning with the kids on the couch. Spend most of the late afternoon and evening on a 5 hour shopping trip to find a dress to wear to my bro's wedding next weekend. Find two possibilities, buy them both, try them on for Carey and the kids when I get home almost after dark and am told that they just won't do. Have Riley take a picture of me in the two dresses. Totally agree with the hubby on this one. Put kids to bed early so that hubby and I could watch the series finale of Battlestar Galatica (teary-eyed, sniff, sniff).
So, how will I top this Spring Break next year? Well, as you can see, it can only go up from here.
