Ahhhhhhh! Spring Break...now those two words are music to my ears! This year we took it easy...enjoying the beautiful weather the first few days offered and lounging around when the weather decided to be more like Christmas Break! The boys both started out the week with a sleepover...Grady headed to a friend's house and Gabe had a friend over! Gabe and Tyler went fishing with Shawn Friday evening and had Conoco for dinner (that only occurs when I am absent, so always a real treat!) and then those two stayed up past 1:00....that's as much as I know because that's when I called it a night and the two crazy kids were back up by 7:30 ready to hit it again! We picked Grady up around 10:00 and spent most of that afternoon chilling out...surprisingly, both boys stayed awake until we lost Grady for the night around 5:30! Must have partied a little too hard!
For the most part of the beginning of the week, the boys and I soaked up the beautiful spring weather! We spent most of our time playing baseball....and I mean hours playing baseball! With Gabe being on a traveling team this year and Grady debuting his machine pitch season this year...it's a good thing they like playing, and we have the room to do so! On Wednesday, the boys and I tried our hands at geo-caching! We were 1 for 3 on finding the caches. It was a good time, I am glad we found one....not sure if I will get those two to give it another whirl or not! Once the weather turned cooler we decided to stay inside and do something crafty! Crafty however to a mother of boys is a tad bit different that a mother of girls I would assume! We built a catapult and trebuchet! We started with precut pieces, but had to glue, tie knots, measure and build patience...which unfortunately the boys inherited lack of from me! I am happy to report though, both projects are finished and they work fantastically! On Friday we headed to Wichita to take in a movie and lunch! We decided on "The Croods" (Fantastic movie if you are wondering) and lunch from the Warren Diner while we were watching! The boys really thought eating lunch in the theatre during the movie was pretty cool! After the movie, the boys and I ran some errands and then they went to spend the night with Aunt Greta and Uncle Marshall, while Shawn and I enjoyed a date night! So, as far as Spring Breaks go, I think it was a winner!! And bonus to that.....only 7 more weeks of school!! WOO HOO!!
