Spring Break '09 - Saturday

Today is our last official day of Spring Break. It's bittersweet for me. I was a little nervous and was feeling pressure to keep everyone entertained when our travel plans kept falling through. But I am reporting that we had a super spring break. It was so nice to have Trent around just to be around. We didn't have a long car ride ahead of us, no pager going off or any plans set in stone. Our goal was to do a little bit of work and something fun each day, and that's just what we did!

Today was no different. We slept in and lounged around the house into the late morning. Then Trent made us all sandwiches for lunch and we piled into the car to go to Luke's baseball game. During the game, the girls ran around and played in the sunshine while Trent and I watched Luke play, it was relaxing and great! After the game we headed over to home depot and purchased a swing to hang in our front yard. Trent and his crew hung it up in no time and we haven't seen much of them [the crew] since.


Here's an updated pic of our owls. They're getting really big! That white thing hanging down is a bee's nest. They've been swarming all around the owl house for days. We think Mama must have laid down the law or something because this morning they are gone.

Yeah for Spring Break! I am so glad the Trent was able to take the time so you could all spend some wonderful time together! Sounds like such great memories! We are also excited to hear how your garden is growing this year! Good luck! Since we put new grass in our back yard after our garden last summer, we will only have a small garden this year! Take care!

I'm glad that you had a good week. The owls are certainly growing. They are so fascinating, and I hope the kids are taking notes for Grandma!
