Spring Break

The girls had Spring Break the week after the Roses family was here. 

Because I had already used up all of my plan-fun-things-to-do energy, 

it was pretty low-key.

We played at home a lot, they ate lunch with Russ at his office, we had friends over, went to the library, celebrated St. Patrick's Day, had a read-a-thon, and set out to find the best snow cones in the area.

A read-a-thon is something I grew up doing, and when I told my kids about it
they were super excited to try it out.
Get a bunch of books, get a bunch of snacks, and spend the day enjoying them.

St. Patrick's Day menu: broccoli, green Jell-O, green Kool-Aid, and spinach quiche

Fun new Play-Doh that came in Grandma's Easter package!

SNOW CONE Results

#3: JJ's Sno Cones - 1st place we tried, disappointed to find out they weren't opening for the season until April, so . . . automatic LOSER

#2: Fire and Ice - good prices, huge flavor selection, decent product

#1: Bahama Buck's - most expensive, huge flavor selection, indoor seating option, little umbrellas, super yummy, and can include sprinkles = WINNER
