Blessed Beyond Measure: Spring Break

Yesterday was the first day of spring break for well I guess just for Caylea and I since the other two kiddos are not in school. So Caylea's cousin Livi stayed the night with her Sunday night. They had so much fun playing. . .it's so cute to watch them play! Caylea and Livi have been playing together for a long time! It's so fun to remember them being little!

I wish I had some pictures of them on my computer I would share one. . .maybe I will find one later and add it.

Anyways I had to go to my cousin's wife funeral yesterday morning. I am so thankful that Patsy was willing to watch all 4 of the kids for me. It would of been crazy to take them. They had so much fun playing with Patsy and Taylor. Well actually Carolina was still asleep when I got home at 1130 (can you believe that) and I guess Caden had just woken up at about 11:00 - I am thinking this was partially due to the time change.

Since everyone slept so late I knew that Caden would not nap so we headed to the zoo for a few hours. It was such a nice day and not too awful busy like spring break usually is. We closed out the zoo then headed home. Anthony actually beat me home and started dinner before I even got there (I know your jealous!).

Our thoughts were to put the kids to bed early so that they would wake up earlier. . .so we put them to bed they all feel asleep about 9 then guess what they were all awake by 11! UGH!!!! So we had a long night. . .then this morning I woke everyone up at 9! I guess this is the new plan! I really do not want them sleeping till 10 or 11 that is half the day plus it's a pain at night when they should be sleeping that they are messing around (I know we shouldn't let them watch TV in their rooms at bed time but we do and that is that)

So Anthony called and he had left his lunch at home so we drove it to him and visited his office the kids loved it! So did most of the adults I think :) Then the kids and I ran to wal-mart to pick up moose (You would be surprised how much of that stuff we go through) I also picked up the kids some silly putty they saw it and I said why not I loved it when I was a kid :)

Tonight we are heading to Sears to pick up the kids Easter outfits I saw the cutest suit with a purple shirt for Caden I just pray they still have his size!

Well here are a few pictures from yesterday at the zoo!
