Spring Break 2010

Saturday: (Mini-vacation with the family) Drove to Indy and went to the Indianapolis Zoo. Stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Indy so the kids could swim.

Sunday: Swam one more time in the morning at the hotel. Then we went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum. Rhett loved the Star Wars exhibits. Micah loved the Barbie exhibits. Blair loved the sand table. Came back Sunday evening.

Monday: Took all 3 kids and met my friend Ashley and her son Dante at the movie theaters to see "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." LOVED it! I had read the book to my kids at school and Rhett is reading the rest of the series. Dante came home with us for a couple of hours. Monday evening, I took Blair, Micah, and Brian Anthony to spend the night at Grandma Sharon's. Rhett rented Star Wars Episode II & III to have some father and son bonding time with Tony. ;) I stayed up late and finished reading Breaking Dawn the 4th book in the Twilight series. I started the first one on March 1st and finished the 4th one over Spring Break- averaging about a book a week. I haven't read that much in such a short amount of time since I don't know when!

Tuesday: Rhett and I spent the day shopping and hanging out. He helped me pick out some clothes (have I mentioned how picky he is?). I picked up the girls from Cindy's (she had picked them up from Sharon's) and Rhett stayed to play with Olivia. The girls had a friend spend the night Tuesday evening.

Wednesday: Went to the Louisville Zoo with Cindy, Olivia, Brian Anthony, John, Carol, Maria, Brooklyn, and Elizabeth. We had a great time, but didn't enjoy the traffic jam on the way home.

Thursday: Olivia and Brian Anthony came over for a couple of hours to play with the kids. When they left, my kids went to my mom's so that I could do some Easter shopping. I met Tony for a quick dinner at Q'doba and then we spent the evening playing with the kids.

Friday: Mom had a playdate scheduled with her friend Joyce and her grandkids. So I went to the outlet malls in Edinburgh by myself! It was great to have some alone time and shop just for me! Friday night we watched the ball games and I rented movies for the kids.

Saturday: We went to the city park for the Easter Egg Hunt. Blair only got 2 eggs. It took her a little bit to figure out what everyone was doing. I guess I should have given her some strategies! ;) Tony met up with us after music practice at the church in time to see Micah and Rhett hunt eggs. They were much more successful and ended up with several eggs. Blair won a bike, so she was super excited!! Then we ate at Chick-Fil-A (or "Chick-uh-lay" as Blair pronounces it) and then went to Perrin Park for pictures with Megan and Chris. Next, we dropped Rhett off at Sharon's (she was having the older 3-Desiree, Olivia, and Rhett spend the night) and headed to Louisville to the malls to do an exchange and some super fast shopping. Tony was in a hurry to get back home to watch the ballgames.

Sunday: After church, we ate at McAllister's (no surprise there) and then came home. I straightened up the house, Tony took a nap, and Blair watched a movie. Rhett was still at Sharon's and Micah had went home with Brian Anthony. Then we dropped off Blair with Sharon and Tony and I went to Winter Jam 2010. (Third Day, News Boys, New Song, Fire Flight, Tenth Avenue North, etc.)

Wow! I didn't realize how busy I was!! I had so much fun hanging out with the kids and they enjoyed some extra time with grandparents and cousins, too!

Happy Birthday Rhett!

Rhett turned 8 on Fri., Mar. 11th. We were so busy with birthdays, parties, and life that I haven't had time to blog. Plus, our computer crashed and we had to send it off to get fixed. I know I'll have a ton of pictures to upload and post. Speaking of pictures, I get a little bit of anxiety just mentioning it. Ms. Organization has really started slacking! I usually am so on top of getting pictures developed, into photo albums, with labels, and all scrapbooked up (I don't even think that's a word). Well, Tony's procrastination is rubbing off on me. I haven't developed pictures since BEFORE Halloween! Yikes! My bill will be in the hundreds of dollars, I'm sure! That was on my Spring Break To-Do List, but it didn't get accomplished. As soon as I have a couple of hours (since there's so many) to devote to downloading them, I will get around to it. Promise.

Happy Birthday Blair!

Blair turned 3 on Friday, Mar. 5th. I'll post pictures soon...
