Bye Bye Spring Break

Today was the last day of Spring Break. This is the week we have waited for, for what seems like forever! We were all very ready for a break. However, I think we're all getting the sense that it's time to go back to our normal routine. We didn't do anything overly special this week. Monday was spent cleaning the house (kuddos to my kiddos for helping me keep the house cleaned up!). Tuesday, we went to Wal-Mart and the kids played with Blake Segars while I worked at my dad's office (thanks Britt!). Wednesday, the girls went with me to work; and Ellie got to go to Chuck E. Cheese despite the fact that she swore that she'd never go back (thanks Lesa & Mrs. Edra!). Thursday, we had to cancel plans to go play at Rock Creek with Noah and Mandy b/c our van had to go into the shop. Fortunately, Mimi was able to come over while Brian and I ran to his parents to borrow his mom's car. We did manage to squeeze in a quick trip to Target.

Today, we were suppose to go to Rock Creek with Noah; but Noah has an ear infection. Poor Baby!! (He had to have shots today for his ears. They will find out in April if he has to have tubes. Please pray for the doctor to know exactly what to do for Noah.) Since we didn't get to go play, the girls reminded me that I had promised them that we would paint. So, it was off to Michael's we went. Ellie picked out a box, and Mollie picked out a cross. I thought we had washable paints at home. However, we did not! So, we used acrylic paint. The girls did an awesome job! I have to admit that we had a really good time!

Mollie painting her cross. She couldn't stand getting paint on her fingers. We went through a ton of wipes!

Mollie was the first to finish her project. She ended up laying with the package of brushes and the plates we used as paint trays.
