spring break successes :)

We are on day 5 of Spring Break!

And I'm happy to report,

we have had some successes!

~~~~~

Michlyn's home from her school trip to Chicago with Choir!

She had a great time!

Though she slept in this morning, when she did rise she was quick to download

 her trip pics and tell us about some of her Chicago adventures.

We are so happy to have her home, safe & sound =)

We miss her when she's gone!

We've enjoyed some mornings afernoons of just being.

Staying in pajama's well into the day.

E...Texting friends. :)

Hanging out together.

Snuggled up.

Playing games.

Watching a movie or two.

And of course, eating.

Hmmm? Rules are to keep food in the kitchen...

But I snuck downstairs to take these pics and caught 'em "red-handed"

J's hand in a snack bowl.

S's mouth full

And I'm pretty sure E's got a little something under cover too.

I think we've got ourselves a few volunteers for vacuuming :)

You can't tell from these pictures but the weather has also been PERFECT!

Tempertures in the 60's... and word has it we may hit 70's before the week's end.

Mounds of snow have given way to cleared sidewalks, just right for Spring walks & bike riding.

~~~~~

All in all, not a bad start to our Spring break!

Praise the Lord for Spring break successes!!!

...doing what boys do :)

a beautiful Saturday.

warm tempertures.

melting snow.

boys taking it all in... doing what boys do!

following streams of snow.

finding the first of the seasons treasured rocks.

of course, also managing to get a bit wet.

"Spring is in the air!"

A Spring day!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day! 'T' and 'S' both had some friends over, to enjoy the sunny afternoon! They enjoyed picking flowers, playing with friends, and running around! :) It's so nice when the little kids can get some energy out! (Because then they're not stuck in the house all day)

At about 7:30 pm it got really cloudy, and VERY humid! We had a few windows open to keep some air going through the house, but I think that just made it worse. It was about 78 degrees in the house! So my sister Erin and I kept cool in the basement, watching TV and painting our nails!

There were a few tornado warnings in towns near us, but it never even rained where we live. On the news, it was said that two tornados had been spotted. I don't know if anyone was injured, but please pray for people in that area.

Have a wonderful day!
