I am sure that most of you know that it is Spring Break around these parts. It has been a great week so far! We have gotten several things done while our little family has been on break and had quite a bit of fun.
In the "getting things done" department, the girls all checked out well at the dentist office, and we have discovered from Randi's optometrist visit that she is near-sighted and will need glasses. Of course, she is quite happy with this outcome because her best friend also wears glasses. Unfortunately, her need for the glasses will long out live her young friendship. Chris and I have also learned a small lesson from the visit; we will be adding children to the employee part of our vision insurance next year. We planned ahead for the dental insurance, just didn't foresee the vision! You live and learn. We also picked up shot records for Toni and Bayleigh. Time to get ready to register for kindergarten! Go Big Girls! Chris and I have also marked off several things on our "to do list." You know, everyone has that list. Such as, for me, I needed to go through all the children's clothes and pack away things too small and unused. Now, on to the fun part, because there is no way the battery on the laptop will out live the length of the list!
With several of the days being warm, Chris, the girls, and Cody have spent some time on the jet ski. Just riding, no tubing yet. They have also fished and taken several boat rides. We love the warm weather! With the weather not being so nice today, we planned a trip to Marshall to watch Horton Hears A Who. I really enjoyed it. Along with being very kid friendly, it had several good underlying meanings. (I'll discuss this more if the battery survives.) As for the rest of the week, we are planning a trip to the Tyler Zoo tomorrow, along with an overnight stay at Meme & Pawpaw's camper. And of course, Saturday night the Easter bunny will be stopping by to leave a few goodies. Sunday will be a full day of visiting our Nana, Nana-Pawpaw, Meme, and Meme-Pawpaw. Hopefully we will get to see baby Kate and Connor too! I'll try to post pics of all our Spring Break adventures sometime next week.
There are many days that I wish I had chosen a profession other than teaching. Probably more days than I wish to count to be honest. However, there are those times that I am very glad I am a teacher. I was putting the girls to bed tonight and telling them of tomorrow's events. Toni asked if "baby Katie" would be at Meme's camper. I told her not this time, and as she questioned why I explained that Katie's daddy didn't get a Spring Break; he had to work. I am very thankful for the extra time I get with my children and for that I am very glad I am a teacher.
I hope those of you who are on spring break are having a great one, and I hope everyone has a great weekend!
