Spring Broke

Well, Spring Break came to an end and I have to admit it was so hard to get back in the swing of things. We "broke" our regular schedule and it was great; sleeping in, staying up late, not rushing anywhere. But...we really paid for it this last week. Our sleeping habits are still off and we have yet to get caught up. Which also means orneriness has been in abundance (my kids do not do well without their sleep). Rushing to school in the morning, running from one thing to the next; it's all making me look forward to summer.

At any rate, I didn't finish blogging our Spring Break. We stayed home but tried to fit in some fun stuff. I took the boys to the zoo (thanks Lisa!) while Zoe was at her friends. I only got one picture before my camera died, but at least it turned out.

We went to the playground with friends/neighbors (forgot camera, of course) and just let the kids have a lot of outside playtime. I already posted Jonah's surgery and Zoe's haircut. Then Chris and Noah went camping for a couple of days with the Madsen's (Jon, Kasen, Braden & Ryan). I wish we had two cameras because unfortunately I have no pictures of that either. They had so much fun! Those one-on-one times are priceless, and Noah just eats it up. It was FREEZING the first night, but they survived. Noah also had his first quad experience. He rode with Chris for a while and then was able to ride on his own. (That's one of those things that was good for me not to know until after.)

While they were gone, I took Zoe and her friend Elle for a "girls day". They played for a little while and then we were off to the salon. They had their nails painted, make-up put on, and up-do's complete with glitter. Then we went shopping (of course) at Justice and came home for dinner. After that we were off to Murray Idol. We only lasted the first half (it was country night and the girls just weren't that into it, and I was tired of chasing Jonah) and then stopped at our ward activity for pie. Thanks for the salon info Julie!

I love eight-year-old smiles!

We ended up the week with one of Zoe's bad asthma episodes and her being on oxygen for over two days, but I can't complain because it has been almost a year since her last one. Not a lot of excitement, but that's what was so great about it. Sometimes it is just nice to slow down.
