Spring Break 2010

What a great week!  Even though the weather was not what we had hoped for, it was still a great week.  I just love having my boys at home and I always enjoy the excitement of planning fun things to do each day.  Despite the chilly temps we didn't let it stop us from getting out and enjoying ourselves.  Samuel had a friend sleep over on Sunday night and they enjoyed playing outside and just being boys.  John Michael loves for Samuel's friends to come over and he especially loves being included in whatever they are doing. 
On Tuesday we enjoyed an outing to Barnes & Noble to purchase the new Diary of a Wmpy Kid book for Samuel and a new horse book for John Michael.  Then we headed to the park even though it was rather cool.  The boy's didn't seem to mind!




After the park, Samuel and I left John Michael with Joseph for a special night out and we headed to the movies to see Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief.  We both enjoyed the movie and Samuel can't wait to read the book.
Joseph took off a couple of days and took Samuel turkey hunting which he just loved.  John Michael was quite disappointed that he wasn't included, but he and I did some fun things while they were gone. 
On Friday, we headed to the farm in Fayette and enjoyed riding four-wheelers, fishing, and hiking through the woods.  The boys just love this! 
Saturday, baseball bagan and what a beautiful day to kick off the season. 
 
So glad we obey the rules!

After baseball we enjoyed the beautiful weather by working on some projects in our yard at home.  A garden spot is well underway where we can grow some fresh vegetables.  I am so excited about this and hope my excitement remains in July when it is 100 degrees outside.  The boys helped clear and rake and played,  getting ready to plant some flowers and vegetables of their own. 
   
Spring cleaning and Easter!  I have been cleaning out closets, drawers, cabinets, etc. just to get rid of "stuff".  I love getting rid of things that are just taking up space and creating clutter.  I have also enjoyed doing some redecorating around the house and sprucing up for the spring season.
 
A few years ago, Samuel and I painted easter eggs at a do it yourself painting place in Kentucky called "Creative R You".  I love displaying our hand painted eggs in this egg basket.  

Life is good and God is great!
