Spring Break

Easter was nice and the kids got a ton of candy and some new clothes thanks to the easter bunny and Nana. Thank you Aunt Kimie for the giant stuffed lamb that is the size of Sophie. Kimie knows how much I love stuffed animals(add sarcasm) and feeds Lexie's obsession with them every chance she gets. We went to church and had a delicious dinner with my parents. Mom and Dad set up an egg hunt for the kids too. This week all 3 kids have spring break. My camera needs new batteries so I have no pictures. Monday it was cold and windy so we ran errands and went to the library to stock up on books. Tuesday we played outside and the kids fought all day until I wanted to sell them online :). Wednesday I woke up with a stomach bug and started throwing up. My wonderful husband came home and took the kids to the park. They went to Dan Nicholas Park about an hour from our house. It has so many things for them to do. They went on a carousel ride, a train ride, played putt putt golf, mined for gems, saw bears, wolves and other animals in the zoo and went out in a paddle boat. Then they played on the playground. Ben brought them home in time for bed. He is so great! Today, I feel much better. I took the kids with me to my bible study. Then we had to hurry home for the Invisible Fence guy to come. All week long I've been telling Ben that I heard a beeping noise downstairs. He can't hear it and thinks I'm crazy. One of our labs decided to go down the street, and then all 3 dogs left the yard. Ben went under the house and discovered our fence wasn't working. I wasn't crazy after all. Our neighbors had planted some cypress trees on the property line and it ended up being too close to our side and cut our fence. What a pain! John William has a friend spending the night tonight and Lexie has one coming over tomorrow to sleep over. It's been a busy week and gone by really fast. I just hope no one else gets sick! Now if I could only catch up on my laundry!
