Spring Break

In the last week, Jaxen had Spring Break. 

He had a total of 10 days with no school (he did not have school today). 

Although we didn’t do anything “special” he had a really great week. 

There was “Park Day”, “Wizard of Oz Day”, “Baking Day”, “Craft Day” and “Game Day”. 

I have found that if you “name” a certain day - the day is automatically more fun for our kids!

Here are some pictures from their week - not in order, just random. 

And not of every day…my husband is not the best at capturing these “special” days! Ha!

Downtown KC had a free play exhibit of Wizard of Oz:

There were lots of bubble baths this week too!

Even though I had a very busy week at work, I tried to have fun in the evenings with the boys.

We made up our own basketball game one night “Tent Ball”. 

Had to find our way through the fort/maze….

And one night it was nice enough for us to walk to the park!

The boys had the best time chasing each other through the playground.

We walked with sticks and they had so much fun!

Nik took them to McDonalds, they played with play dirt, play-doh, drew, rented a movie,

had nerf gun fights, baked pizza, baked cookies, played Uno, and stayed up late on a few nights!

It was a tough week for Nik - he had the boys all day and then worked at night.

Even though it was a busy work week, I was able to go in late one day and let Nik sleep.

It helped some… although we both crashed pretty hard this weekend!

The boys are outside right now, playing in the mud.

It’s such a nice night I’m letting them make a bigger mess and stay out later than normal.

Once I finish this post they will need to come inside, though.

School tomorrow means: shower for jaxen, practice spelling words, reading,

making his lunch and getting his backpack together - back to normal life for us!
