Spring Break

Spencer lost his second tooth at church.  Ken pulled it out in the bathroom for him before we came home since he had to stay and count tithing.  Spencer was so excited!  I told him that now he had a “holy hole” in his mouth.  As soon as we got home he put the tooth in a plastic bag so it wouldn’t get lost like the last but he didn’t put it under his pillow like I suggested.  He just had to have it out incase someone stopped by so he could show it to them…that is until he misplaced the bag.  Oops!  That’s two teeth gone.  The tooth fairy is not liking us!Isaac got his first bath at 5:30 in the morning.  I was changing his diaper and he wasn’t done yet.  Ken was so great to wake up and give it to him since it still hurts my back to bend over the tub.  It wasn’t Isaac’s favorite activity but hopefully it will be soon.One spring break activity was going to the park.  The weather was perfect and is was so nice to be out of the house.  A friend and her son joined us.  The big kids love playing tag on the toys and Neil really loved the slide, but for most of them he still wanted someone to slide with him.Rachel came and spent the night.  The next day was not warm at all…hence the coats.  She and Neil blew bubbles for Spencer to pop while Ken, the girls and Mark practiced some double dutch.

Isaac and I went out for a bit to be with everyone.  Since I didn’t have a hat for him we just shared with Neil and rolled up the edges.When it was time for lunch we came inside and emptied the fridge of all the leftovers.  Neil was too hungry to wait to warm anything up and just grabbed a piece of pizza and started eating.The last fun thing we did over spring break was that Mark built us a “poor man’s golf” game.  He did such a great job!  I was the supervisor, but he did all the measuring, cutting, etc.  Grandpa helped him drill the holes in the golf balls and everyone was excited to help him try it out.

I love spring break!  I love having the kids home and I love the change in schedule and finding fun projects to work on.  I just can’t wait for summer.  (Man, I sound like my kids!)
