Spring Break

I think that I was more excited about spring break than the kids were. I was ready for no schedules and no carpooling and just having some good time with my kiddos. I think the very first day of our vacation which really starts Friday as soon as school is over the girls wanted a late over with Elena and Callie and they watched a cute movie "Wreck it Ralf". We went to the library one day (Tallie is always sad when we go while she is at school). The weather was super nice and the kids spent most of their days outside riding bikes and moterized scooters and playing cops and robbers. Jamie Garrett came down one day to get her hair done and to leave Sophie for a sleepover with her cousins. We rented "Rise of the Gaurdians" and had popcorn and candy and stayed up way too late. The girls all wanted to sleep on the floor with Sophie instead of their own beds. In the morning we met Tessa and her kids up at the zoo and let me just say right now that I WILL NEVER go to the zoo again during spring break. I literally think that every person in Utah had the same idea. It was a mad house and I hope that the kids had even a tiny bit of fun. To make sure they went home with happy memories we stopped for ice cream before heading home. That put smiles on everyones faces. Tj and the girls did another craft date at Home Depot and made birdhouses and then he took them out to lunch. It was a great week and was sad to send them all back to school yesterday. Thankgoodness we only have 6 more weeks of school left.

The other day TJ had no work, they observe Good Friday at his work and I told him to meet me at Ikea. Kasen had a hip ultra sound in Riverton so I wanted to stop on my way back home. He met me and I tell you when Tj and I go to Ikea together its bad news. But really fun because Tj gets pretty generous with money and we were able to figure out some stuff to do in the basement. We got a desk for the computer and like a wall unit desk thing for the kids area. We had cart after cart of boxes and boxes of furniture. You would have thought we were buying the whole store. I think we spent like 3 hours there. And while it was fun spending money, it's also stressful for me and decorating and I came home with a HUGE STRESS headache that I went to bed with that night. By the end of the shopping trip I was sweating and feeling like the place was caving in on me and I just wanted to run away. This whole basement thing is pretty stressful for me. And we had forgotten a few things and so TJ told me I could get away the next night without kids and go back to shop...I made him a list and sent him. I was not going back.

On another note the other day we were driving in the car and this country song comes on and I'm about the change the channel and Chloe yells at me to keep it. She then starts to sing all of the words. I'm like "where did you even hear this song? I have never even heard it before, and you know all the words!?" she replied that she loved the song and just knows it. I'm still baffled to where she heard it and enough times too where she learned all of the words. Too funny.
