Spring Break?

Here it is Spring Break!

For years Spring Break was a time for two things...

skipping away for a mini vacation which would be unbelievable or

 cleaning out every single room the children inhabited.

  Dusting and polishing,

 tossing and putting away

 or basic cleaning and packing,

 planning and anticipating.

Not this year...

this year was/is enjoying time with Scarlet and Tyler,

 replacing the washing machine,

 Hope's Birthday

 and....Yep, that's right, not anything.

  I might fix Hope's pants today, I will be doing some more laundry,

 I would love to clean/paint something, but most likely not.

Hope is definitely

 having the most lame Spring Break ever.

  I think this is one of the things not so fun when you are the baby.

  

However,

 she could of just as easily messed up any vacate plans we had

 by getting a job.

  Hmmmmmmmmm, can I place the blame of non-plans onto Hope?

  Yep, I think so.

  No way can she start a job

 and then immediately ask for time off so she can vacate.

  So everyone, it is HOPE's fault we are at home. 

 I even thought perhaps we could do another quick trip to Vegas to finish up a few things.  But, honestly, no.  

I can't even fit in a quick trip with Hope to St. George.  

I could have yesterday,

 however, it was her birthday

 and I didn't want to "drag" her everywhere

 so she could complain years from now...

 (instead I wasn't here for breakfast,

 didn't see her at lunch,

 wasn't home when she returned,

 and said, "what? there isn't anything left over in the fridge to eat?")

  That's right, she did NOT have one thing made for her

 except a wonderfully colorful batch of cupcakes (thanks Brice and Erica)

 and then a sinfully delightful 4 layer stacked chocolate cake from Costco.

We did sing Happy Birthday however,

 she did complain

 it wasn't as painfully off key as it usually is.

Here we are,

 Happy Spring Break!

  Yes, we are staying at home,

 no we aren't "super" cleaning,

 and we definitely have no new projects going.
