~Spring Break

Spring Break fun!! 

We headed out of town for the weekend to regroup and

have fun! We love our time together where the world can't

interrupt us.  The girls are so much fun to be around.  They

have a way of making us all just laugh out loud. 

~Spring Break and Friends~

Spring Break is quickly coming to an end. The girls had a few friends over, enjoying the pleasant weather that finally arrived! They took full advantage of being able to get outside run around, play on the trampoline and head to the park. They had a mud cake bake off in the backyard, ate pizza, drank pop, enjoyed sweets and ended the night with a movie! I think I am as disappointed as the girls are that Spring break has come to an end.

Today is not only April Fools Day, but it is also the last Friday of Spring Break. We have had so much fun this week. We have done crafts, sewed, baked, cooked, played games, went to the library, watched movies and had friends over and went to friends. I have loved every day with our girls. I love hearing their stories, having them retell me what they are reading, seeing how creative they are and hearing their laughter. Having them home for the week makes us all excited for Summer vacation. So much to do! We made lots of really cute hair clips and even clips for their clothes, bags or jackets. The are called yo-yos. They were so easy! The girls had so much fun picking out the materials they wanted and then hand sewing them. They got to be pretty quick and were making them while we watched movies. Another great Spring Break!

~Crafts and Sunshine~

With Spring in Colorado any weather is possible and with Spring Break the end of March it can be pretty crazy weather wise. This morning the weather was pretty cool so the girls worked on many different crafts. We painted, watched movies, went to the library and played games. It is fun doing different crafts and seeing how creative the girls can be. I really enjoy this time with them. The are so much fun to be with.

~Spring Bunny~

Spring Break is always pretty cold and sometimes even snowy! So being such a nice cool day we took Thumper outside to get some fresh air. Jolene let him go in the middle of the yard but he quickly found his way under the boat. It took the girls about 15 minutes before they came and asked for help in catching the bunny. He loved his freedom. We ended up taking Drakes old dog run out to the yard for Thumper to have more room, but boundaries! Jolene loves Thumper and likes to carry him around like a baby. He is a good bunny and seems to enjoy his new temporary home.

~Thumper~

During Spring Break Jolene's class pet, Thumper, needs a home. We volunteered to bring him here for the week. Jolene was so excited, she counted down the whole week for him to come home with her. Saturday she had him inside in a box for most of the day until she thought he would like to live in her doll cradle. She set up the cradle and a "changing" station for him. She is so cute with him, they both seem to be having fun together. It should be a fun week for the two of them. I'm afraid they both will be sad when the break is over and he returns to school.
