Spring Break 2012

We stayed home for spring break this year. In fact, we always do. ahahaha. But, I thought I'd share what we did with the time home...

According to Delaney and Katie, spring break began on Friday night...
Katie had her first practice, and then the kids spent the night at Grammie and Poppy's house while Peter and I went to see Hunger Games (FINALLY).

Saturday:
I worked and the kids had a day with Daddy. I didn't feel good, so I didn't get anything done and went to bed early.

Sunday:
I spent the day grocery shopping and cooking (just check out my dad's birthday post). Peter helped the girls clean their bedroom...MUCH needed and truly appreciated by me! We had Grammie & Poppy over for dinner and cake.

Monday:
Kids were with Poppy for the day while Peter and I worked. Then both Delaney and Katie had practice for their sports.

Tuesday:
Dance, Dance, and more Dance. Throw in a fun stop at the park with friends, a nice lunch, time outside, dying Easter eggs, and a movie night, and I'd call that a day.

Wednesday:
Zoo! With a few friends, practice for Delaney, and a sleepover for Delaney. Kate was supposed to have one too, but both her and the friend hadn't been behaving well lately, and add them together, it may have been uber disaster for the mom!

Thursday:
Another day with Poppy while Mom and Daddy work.

Friday:
Easter Egg hunt, fun at Grammie & Poppy's, time with family, and celebrating Easter.

Saturday:
I worked in the morning, and then we had a cookout with the Salkas Family.

Sunday:
EASTER! We spent our time between outside, Grammie & Poppy's, and inside getting ready for school with baths and relaxing with a movie.

PS--I'm EXHAUSTED!

Delaney is eight and she is starting to really grow up on us. She is smart and caring, sensitive and competitive. She is great with her siblings; such a wondeful big sister. She loves school and reading, but not as much as playing video games and running around outside. She is in ballet for the 5th year and she is hoping to start baseball this spring.

She hate scary movies and noises and is afraid of the dark. She loves nature and all things animals. I'm surprised she hasn't asked to not eat meat. She likes jokes and tries her hardest to fit in. She knows how to push people's buttons, but also knows how to really be there for someone who is hurting. She is amazing at video games, but gets frustrated with them too.

She does well in school-both with behavior and academics. She loves Brownies and has many friends. She has the desire and determination to learn and try everything--academic, sports, etc. Just not all tv and movies.

Katie is now six and starting first grade. She is quite the young lady. She is funny and smart and sassy and determined. She can be so supportive and nice and helpful, yet also stubborn and angry. She knows what she wants and how she wants it, and is not always willing to have it any other way. She loves to cuddle and be around others. She enjoys books, tv, and Barbies. Her favorite show is Glee and she often plays Glee (pretend, that is). She loves scary things like Harry Potter and roller coasters and very kid-friendly things like Pokemon and Blue's Clues.

She is all girl...with her skirts and dresses, playing dress up, loving the color pink, and Barbies. However, don't be surprised if you find her climbing a tree or wrestling with the neighbor. Her vocabulary is amazing, but not as much as her imagination. Her favorite foods are nutella and jelly sandwiches, butter noodles, yogurt, and apples. What is she most looking forward to this year? Learning how to read.

Rowena is three and is getting so mature! Her language, vocabulary, and speech is amazing, and it's almost like it developed over night! She asks questions and will tell you how it is. She is funny and she cracks us up. She loves to watch TV and movies and it is surprising the various genres she will pay attention to for long periods of time. She loves to "play toys" and it is fun to watch her play pretend and make the toys talk and walk. She's getting very good at video games--Mario Party on GameCube is her favorite right now. She also loves to cook and bake.

She's excited to start school in the fall. She knows her alphabet and can identify some letters with words. She can count to 14 and then skips to 17. She can also recognize her numbers too. She loves to play games; some of her favorites are Candyland, Go Fish, and SkipBo. She loves crafts, going for walks, and playing at the park. She loves her friends, and even more-her siblings. She wants to do everything her sisters do, and help Charlie whenever possible. She can be very sweet and loving yet fiesty and determined.

Charlie is one. Can you believe it? We can't either! He's walking and climbing and loves to get into things. He loves cords, and drapes them around his neck like a scarf. He likes to climb onto the table and then just smiles at you. He knows when things are off-limits and will wait until you are watching before he starts, just to hear you say, "no, no, Charlie" then he'll smile and walk away. He loves to tease and play tag. He lovs swings and slides, and being outside. He laughs and cries and that's about all you hear from him.

The boy loves to eat and enjoys his milk or juice. He's tiny and quiet, but he is ever so sweet and fun. We love our Little Charlie Boo-Boo.
