Spring Break Day #1

The kids fought all day! They were so mad at me because I promised them a trip to Target to stock up on sidewalk chalk, crayons and bubbles. After evaluating the day and taking many deep breaths, I decided that they in fact had not earned the trip. Talk about flip out time. Lauren kept going on and on about how I lied because I said if they cleaned their room then they could go. I reminded her that she cleaned her room, but every few seconds there was tattling and hitting and whining and teasing. So tomorrow.....in the morning, when I'm fresh and not exhausted. Not only that but they are guaranteed to be able to get along for a few hours in the morning. I don't think they could pull it off all day.

Converse came in the mail today! The kids were so excited. Lauren's are huge, so we have to return them. I assured her that we would try to find a pair local so she didn't have to wait so long. Kade and Kyle look so cute in theirs. Kade's are a little on the big side, he keeps tripping, but he'll grow into them.

They wanted a picnic...so I told them they could have one on the back lawn. Notice the greeness of the lawn. I thought it would never return to its beautiful state. I told Steve he really has a green thumb. Kyle looked at Steve and said, "Let me see your thumb."
They had sack lunches and jello jigglers. What more could a kid want?

And Kade loves to chew gum. He actually keeps it in his mouth. So funny.
