Spring Break? I can not lie, it's a love hate feeling. I love that we don't have to worry about homework, bedtime, driving all over the valley everyday and having to keep to a schedule to get things done. I love that we can stay up late, enjoy the time together and have no obligations to be anywhere. But, I hate, again I can't lie, when I have to entertain my children. Or that they can't seem to get along ( no, my children are not perfect). It's like they don't have enough toys, bikes, scooters, skateboards, balls, or anyone to play with. (Brothers don't can't)
We don't have a family vacations planned for our break, see again I have to entertain, and pay for their enjoyment. I can not stand the whining of "mom there's nothing to do, can I watch TV"? NO! I have made the rule that if they play and get along for a length of time that they can earn time for the TV or electronics. Is that so wrong or mean? Well we have made it thru one week, and lets see what we have done. Went to the park, road our bikes there and many other place this week, went to Target where the boys wanted to spend money they had been saving on toys. Like they needed more. Cameron got to go snow skiing with a friend this week. For the most part we just did hanging around home. The weather has been great for being outside, my other pet peeve. We live in this state for the weather where you can pretty much be outside year round and when my kids want to come inside, it just bugs me. Well I will stop complaining and make the most of our last week together. We are going to go enjoy our favorite place that takes us (me) away from all the worries and boys can be boys....the lake. Well that's about all I have to say about that. Hopefully this week will be better, I'm sure it will now that that I have complained enough and don't want a repeat of last week. To everyone else who is out of school right now, I hope you are enjoying your break. Maybe I will get some new photos to post.
Way to many Yankee's fans for a game in Oakland including our friends the Robison family that we went with us.
BOYS! Aren't they fun! Great Mug shot, hey!
Our Trek experience just this last week. 3 days 3 night! It reminded me of how blessed and lucky I am for everything I have.
Yap! Morgan got tubes again. Hopefully this will be his last time. We also took him to an allergist Doctor to hopefully do some preventive care. He was actually allergic to quit a few things, even some food allergies. Who knew! So tube surgery went well, he takes anesthetics like a champ and is ready to go about 3 hours later. We started all kinds of nasal sprays, allergy medicines, allergy shots and followed recommendations of having our carpets, air vents, his bedding all cleaned really well. He did say that the dogs shouldn't come in the house, but I'm not sure how I will ever accomplish that. Things seem to be doing a lot better, but only time will tell with those tubes. He has only gone about 6 months before fluid starts to fill up in his ears and were back to him yelling when he talks and not being able to hear us when we talk to him.
This is my favorite, check out the hair. They were literally holding on to each other so they wouldn't blow away.
So just before bed, dad pulls out some DIBS! You would think these boys had never seen ice cream before the way they were devouring them.
So I found the pot of gold right out side and the just down the hill from the barn!!!!!!
