Spring Break Wrap-up

The week that kids and teachers everywhere pray for...for real.  We never look at Spring Break as a huge "trip" week, but more like a lay around and do nothing week.

Sure, we make tentative plans of things we want to do but we really don't make a huge thing out of spring break.  I blame it on my mom.  She never, and I mean never ever traveled.  I never took a single trip with her because she had a crazy fear of traveling anywhere.  Spring break was just another week.

We just planned on being together, going to the zoo, seeing a few movies, and well, just spending time as a family.  Our week did not start as planned. 

First of all, who in their right mind came up with Daylight Savings?  I want my hour back!!!  This is no way to start Spring Break.

Sunday was our family day since Tab had to work all week, we planned the zoo.  Fail.  Caroline woke up sounding like she could be in the frog exhibit.  Couch day for the Murry's.

We did get to enjoy some great outside time the rest of the week.  We went to the movies with family and then had a mommy/daughter date to see Cinderella on Friday, which I highly recommend.  So lovely and well done.  Caroline spent several days with friends and tried to pull an all nighter at a slumber party.

Of course I also like to use my kiddo to her full advantage.  Window cleaning it was.  I mean, who doesn't want help with 70+ panes of glass?  I literally said ugly things in my head about these stinking double paned windows.  Why oh why would anyone subject themselves to this torture called "storm windows"?  Because it's Texas and we have tornadoes.  And it's supposed to keep my family safe.

We spent all day Saturday outside cleaning up our land, working on the porch and cleaning windows.  Even though we were done done done with all of it, we loved finally being outside.  Being together was the best part.  We played with the dogs, had a small water fight.  Pulled the truck up, rolled the windows down and blared the music just a little too loud.  We ate guacamole and chips on the front porch and fed the dogs pecans.

Since Caroline was at her cousins for a birthday end of spring break sleepover, we used our time wisely.  We watched movies all night and did nothing, well, I painted my nails.
