Spring Break...ahh...again nothing fun was planned, and I had just a wee bit of a pity party. But I was determined to rise above that and make it a good week with the girls. I tried to find that balance of accomplishing something, yet doing something fun each day. Our weather wasn't the best, so that made it more challenging.
Let's see if I can remember all we did...we played games, we had cousin Aaron over for an afternoon. We went to the theatre and saw "Mr. Peabody and Sherman," we went to Target and made a "game" of saving lots of money.
The highlight of the week was Friday; Brandon took the day off from work and we headed to Lincoln. We ate at Raising Cane's, shopped at Scheel's (where both Analise and I got new bikes!), and the girls played at Lost in Fun while I went to Kohl's. We then had dinner at Olive Garden with one of our favorite young couples, Tabitha and Jesse. We all had a great day, and I was thankful to get away.
One thing we did this year was allow the girls to be "mom for the night" for the dinner hour. Each one chose a meal and night, and they had to help with all the prep work, getting the table taken care of, and if anyone needed anything during the meal, they had to get up and get it. (Brandon and I made sure we needed lots of things during dinner. :)) It really was a lot of fun, and each girl loved it!
For Sadie's birthday, we got her a basketball hoop. Brandon did made some special accommodations to attach it to the back patio overhang, since we didn't have many options. The girls have enjoyed shooting hoops.
Sunday night it was decent enough for the girls to swing.
See those big feet? I had to get her Nike sandals size eight. 8!
She's enjoying her new bike.
