Spring Break - Day 1

I have been trying to prepare myself all month, with much fear and trembling for spring break. This is the first year that it actually mattered that Matt's spring break was a different week then the kids, and I have been kind of bummed out that he wouldn't be around to help. I knew that I wasn't going to have a lot of energy to keep up with Tully this week and I considered putting him in some sort of soccer camp or something but most of his friends are out of town and I didn't want to send him if he didn't know anyone. So that left a week at home with only me to entertain. Very frightening. Especially since I haven't been in the best of moods lately.
So today was day one. The kids got up at their normal time but they actually let me sleep in until about 7:45. They were distracted by the fact that I actually let them get up and turn on cartoons. When they kept yelling "Mommy, we're really hungry!" I knew I should get up or I might be turned in for neglect.

I had a doctors appointment  and Angela volunteered to come over and watch all the kids. The appointment was short and the good news was that the baby turned. No more breech baby!!! The doctor said he looks really healthy and that my fluid levels are great. We hung out around the house the rest of the morning with Angela, Abby and Aaron until early afternoon. Angela even got Tully to practice piano! Great way to pass time :)

After they left the kids and I decided to do some serious crafting. Abby had made a cute flower earlier in the day and Tessa and I decided to make more with some embellishments. Tully was creating rocket ships and volcanos.

It was a big messy time of using whatever we could find and getting sticky with glue. It was actually lot's of fun and reminded me that I need to sit down more often and actually do stuff, like craft projects with my kids before there is another baby here that needs me. 

We finished off the afternoon at Yo Yum Yum's 

I would say we had a successful first day. Wouldn't you?
