Spring Break 2016

And another spring break is over!  This spring break was a bit different because the kids and my school calendars were off by a week.  So the kids were off a week before I was, we had a week of overlap, and then they were both back in school and I had a week off.  Due to Ally being in the hospital for two days I have been off work for 2.5 weeks so I am struggling with the thought of being back tomorrow morning!

We definitely filled the time up with activities.  Ally got registered for kindergarten (how did she grow up so fast???)

We had an impromptu overnight in Illinois with the cousins.  The kids had a blast and I enjoyed catching up with my sister.

The first week of the kids being back at school we started Sam in a new soccer league.  We are going from one day a week to three days a week.  It was really nice being off while we got into the swing of things so we could work on homework as soon as he was home and I could have dinner ready to go for an early dinner before practice.  It makes me a little bit jealous of all the stay at home moms out there because I wasn't stressed and rushing and just able to enjoy the time with my kids. 

And as an FYI it was a freezing cold start to soccer!  April should not be this cold!!

Ally is only in preschool on Monday, Wednesday, Friday so one of the days we met Sam for lunch and recess at his school and the other day we ran to meet my sister at the Terre Haute Children's Museum.  It was our first visit but we will definitely be back.

The three days Ally was in school were definitely strange!  I am not ever at the home alone these days and I constantly felt like I was forgetting something major.  I spent the time trying to get our house in order.  It's hard balancing housework in the evening with spending time with the kids and housework can be the thing that we let go.  

Seven weeks to go and then we are out for summer break!!  I can make it!
