It starts now

What starts now? Officially spring break! Today is our first official day home resting for Spring Break. All I can think about is how we are going to make it through this week.

I promised the boys that we would do something "special" each day of the week to make Spring Break more exciting, so this morning the boys requested breakfast out to eat. So, we trooped into the van by 7:30 and headed off to the iconic Golden Arches for some deep fried fun.

As I began ordering, I actually laughed thinking about just how much food the boys can put away. We had two orders of Hot cakes and sausage, a sausage biscuit, two hash browns, and three chocolate milks. Syrup was slurped all over the table, the boys' faces and hands, and their clothes. They giggled and devoured everything in front of them. At the end of the meal, Andrew looked at me and said he wasn't full and could he have a snack when we got home? Seriously? A snack at 8:00 am??

However, it was a nice breakfast and I promised even more fun by adding a trip to the library to pick out a new bedtime book and an afternoon watching a new movie from Grandma and some popcorn. Hopefully, the rest goes smoothly. . .

So are you grading like a mad woman on your "break" as well? At least you don't have to get up early. That's nice! Have fun!
