A spring break bust!!

First, my apologies go out to Samantha who spent her very first spring break hanging out with her mom and the babes for the entire week and we've got nothing to show for it... well, maybe not 'nothing'.

The upside is that this was her very first spring break so I haven't set the bar too high as far as her expectations go - so I've got some time to make it up to her.

The downside is that her only real memory of spring break will be our daily, and I do mean daily, trips to Sonic for half price drinks & slushies!


This is exactly how I survived the week... knowing there was a large Coke for .75 just waiting for me at 2pm!



And this is how the kids survived... Every time we pulled into the drive through Brody would say 'mama, I want my own'... I kinda sometimes have been known to make them all 3 share one... but never during 1/2 price drink happy hour!



And what spring break would be complete without one - yes ONE - trip to the park that lasted 25 minutes! I know, I know, I'm not the best mom, but it was hot outside and there were some weird kids at the park.

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Brody stories...

I know I’m biased, but I really do think my kids are hilarious and say the funniest things. Here’s a Brody story for you... Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues.  Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.
