Spring Break 2009

This week is Chloe and Owen's Spring Break. They were off Good Friday and the beginning of the week, then go back to school tomorrow (Thursday). They were originally supposed to get the whole week off, but we had to make up some snow days.

Since it's Spring Break, are we here?



No. Oh no. We're here:




It has rained every day. I had asked the kids earlier in the week what they'd like to do while they were off. They said they just wanted to stay home and play. I figured we could go to the park and have picnics, take walks, and play outside. It's been too rainy to even go outside. They have seemed content to just hang out at home though. Owen has wanted to make countless Science experiments. We did a few out of a book we have. That isn't enough for him. He's tried to concoct his own experiments that usually involve water, soap, and Easter candy. He has also managed to break his Nintendo DS. Chloe has been playing some, but mostly reading. I finally relented and bought her Twilight. She's almost read the whole book in two days. As for Phoebe, she's happy to have her favorite playmates home, except for when Owen sprayed her with silly string yesterday. In the living room.

Here the vacationers are at 9:00 this morning. I couldn't see Chloe's head, so this is the best I could do.



Owen is sleeping in too, and not in his bed I might add.




While I took the pictures of the sleeping beauties, Phoebe was watching cartoons in the clothes she wore yesterday (and slept in since she fell asleep in them last night because she didn't take a nap yesterday) eating a bowl of popcorn from last night.

Tomorrow and the weekend is supposed to be sunny and warm. Figures. Hopefully this weekend we can have some fun and make up for all this Spring Break excitement.
