Down time

Three weeks of track out break for the kids has been going fast. I feel like a cruise ship director that needs a extra dose of patience. The days together have been fun and we are busy making a list of things we would like to do again. I lost count of the days but here is what the kids have been up to.
We painted Ellie's room.

Found places for all her things and created a quiet place to read.

Little man got his room painted too. 

One day we visited Marbles museum and got some lunch.

I finally got a hair cut!

See the deer? Dreams of a garden might be eaten.

We even visited Dad at his new office and had lunch.
The weather is amazing right now. The humidity is gone and it has been sunny everyday. There have been park days, bike rides, Sonic runs and a visit to the local ceramic painting studio. Plenty of down time with Matchbox cars and board games. Ellie is looking forward to getting back to school. She wishes she had a friend in the neighborhood to balance out the boy ratio. I can only sympathize...3 weeks home with 3 brothers has its challenges. Thank goodness she has ballet! We have four more days of break and a trip to the zoo and the mountains on the horizon. Please come back and visit me here soon! By the way, if you enter your email at the top of the blog you'll get updates whenever I post them.

The bedrooms have turned out beautifully! It's still so strange to see you basically doing the same things I am doing in a new place. The one thing you seem super good at is getting out there and being social. I need to take pointers from you. :)

You are such a good mama!
