the sweet freedom of spring break

We are a week into spring break and have tried to fill our days with lots of doing nothing and watching television.  Mission accomplished.  We also filled our days with fun activities and projects.  The next half of spring break contains trips to Grammy Linda and Grandpa Jerry's and a trip to Tennessee.  Not to mention, the Pinewood Derby is coming up next weekend, too. But, for now, here is a photo review of what's been going on.

Leadership Training for Christ was the first Friday and Saturday of spring break,  A fun way to kick off the break, for sure.  They had an egg hunt for the smaller kids on Saturday morning.  We made sure to make it down to the hotel for that fun.





We got to see some puppet skits and Marcus and Cale were in. Marcus's group did a Gilligan's Island skit.


I can't remember the skit Cale's group did.  But, I did upload a video in a previous post.  As Andy pointed out, "most of these skits don't make any sense." 

Ewan displayed his 3D art:  a lego diorama of the battle of Jericho


We watched some skits performed by youth from different churches.

Then, it was Easter.  The bunny keeps it simple here.  Candy, candy and a little game for each of the boys and play-doh for the girls.

The bunny didn't try very hard (or at all) to hide the eggs.



Of course, we have to have sickness on a break from school.  This time, it was Kinley who felt icky with a respiratory virus.

Feelin' better!

Volunteered the boys to weed the preschool playground.  It counts as some service hours for Scouts and makes the playground pretty and makes the boys work.  A triple win.

My project:  artwork for the girls room.  I've almost got all the frames I need for this project.  And, the room is almost done being painted.  You know, since it's been a month since I started that project.  So close.

Finally, the cats are enjoying some cats-only time since Andy and the kids and Ponyo are all in Illinois.  They are living the life relaxing on the warm bed.  They have the run of the house for the next couple days while everyone is gone and I am in and out with work.  

And, that's it for now.  Hoping for a smooth couple work nights and good days of sleep.  And, a safe trip for the fam coming back on Monday.  Then, on to our next adventure.
