That is the past tense of spring break. Right?
This week was our spring break! Quick as a wink, our break is coming to a close, but here is a recap of our week...
We kicked off the week with a trip to Grandma and Grandpa Ohio's house! Cousin Eliza joined us for a weekend of fun. On our drive up to Grandma's house, Alli and Eliza made a "bucket list" of things to do at Grandma's house... things like baking cupcakes, having an Easter egg hunt, tractor rides, collecting chicken eggs at Uncle Dan's house, doing an art project, etc.
Making cupcakes was the first order of business.
At Dan's house, the girls took a tractor ride back to the chicken coop...
where there were lots of eggs waiting to be collected!
June was happy just following the "silly chickens" around.
Cousin Sam impressed the girls by balancing across the log to get to the island... which he claimed as his own kingdom.
Alli plans on venturing out to the island this summer. Watch out Sam.
Back at Grandma's house, we watched General Conference. I love hearing messages of faith and hope... especially from apostles and prophets. I came away wanting to try harder and be a better wife, mother, sister, daughter, etc.
Grandma made up an Easter egg hunt for the kids.
I came back home on Monday with June and Eliza. Alli and Ruby got to spend a few extra days being spoiled by Grandma.
And it was so quiet at home.
Junie helped me mop the kitchen floor. And it stayed clean for more than 24 hours!
June ate her veggies.
She has a thing for broccoli. For real.
I even got a few projects done. I mulched the kids' garden in our back yard and planted a few more flowering bushes (not flowering yet, but just wait until summer!). I mended a shirt and recovered an iron-legged bench.
And most importantly, June is still potty trained.
I met my Mom at Grandpa's Cheese Barn to pick up the girls. They returned home with more toys than they left with. Plus snacks, candy, a stack of art supplies, etc. All in all a most excellent week.
And we have one more weekend before it's back to school time.
