long over!
and with it went the time that i had to finish my office, to fold laundry, to get the house straightened, and the time to sleep in.
so, the office is only half done. i did not reach my goal.i did laundry, but didn't make the time to fold it all, and so it sits in baskets.and all the straightening is always undone with two kids around.
i need another spring break!
however, i cannot complain about spring break. i didn't accomplish as much as i wanted around the house but i had fun with my kids. and yes, they actually let me sleep in until 7:30 or 8:00 each day. we visited ink - an interactive museum for kids, we played with friends - great friends that we only ever get to see when there is a day off school, and we went to helen. we took almost three days away from home and drove an hour away to the little vacation town. we swam in the indoor pool, od'd on sugar (caramel apples, ice cream, funnel cake) stayed up late, and hiked with 4 kids up to "magic" waterfalls. after a stop at a playground, a quick "game" of soccer and lots of bubbles our friends had to leave. but we weren't alone very long, for we were joined by todd's parent's (the owners of the condo/time share) and todd - and we went for walks and took naps, swam some more, ate more food, played games, watched movies, stayed up late and then visited babyland general, where the cabbage patch kids are born, before returning home.
it turned out to be a very busy week, but there was very little time constraints, very few glimpses at my watch, we just went with the flow, enjoyed each other's company and enjoyed the company of our friends.
true to form, xander wanted nothing to do with school the monday after spring break. "mom, i just want to stay here at the house with you and cassidy." after a week of that, i was loving it too! hard to go back, and if almost felt foreign that first day. oh and x's question later that night "mom, when is dad going to lose his job again so he'll stay home with us?" well, we hope that doesn't happen. but it was nice seeing each other a little more than usual.
thank you spring break. we'll miss you. come back again soon. maybe then i'll get my office finished! 4 boxes down, 3 1/2 more to go! (pictures will be posted upon completion. no peeking before. it is just as embarrassing as the before pictures!)

You are awesome. It sounds like your break wasn't much of a break, but probably a lot of fun. Good job on your office. It is inspiring. I love reading your blog.
Ahhh, it was a great week, wasn't it? Thanks so much for including us in your plans. Good times indeed. p.s. Do you by chance have any pictures that turned out? If not, that's ok. And I figured out what was wrong with my camera...it wasn't broken after all. Just a silly button I pushed. Oh joy :)
