Spring Break - Thursday

Well - today it  was MY turn to get sunburned :)

Today for the work part off  life, Aaron finished up his work for the Wagstaff's  by painting their fence.  He ended up not spending much "family time" with us today, but I try not to feel  too badly about it - he IS  a "teenager" after all, so I figure it is to be expected.

Also in the work category is that it was Katrina's turn to go through her drawers and closets, trying on everything and weeding out the "too small" or "don't ever wear it" items.  We filled up a large garbage bag of items to take to DI and reorganized what was left.

PLAY  TIME -
Tim was up at work again, so the kids and I went to experience a "new park" in Springville.  Aaron and I had been there once before and had nick named it "throw up park" - because there are so many spinning things.  The one time we stopped there,  both Aaron and I got a little dizzy and sick to our stomachs...  The other kids had requested that I  take them t o check  it out, so we took a little picnic lunch and off we went to "throw up park".  It was fun.  The kids ran and played, I watched, played a little, and read  my book a little - all  in the sun, hence the sunburn.

 After a couple  hours at  the park, we came home to pick up the DI donations, and off we went again.  We dropped off the donations, then went inside to see what we could find.  Bryan only has two pair of shorts, (I have them aim for 5  - 7 pair... the  one  per day thing)  We bought 3 more pair of shorts, and are hoping we'll  find some that are still working their way through the wash...  We also  bought 3 pair of shorts and a matching shirt for Aaron (he can  be especially hard on clothes and was getting low on everything.) plus two pair of gym shorts for Aaron, and lightweight sweatpants for both Katrina and Caleb.  Also found some new swim trunks for Caleb, and a new dress &  a new skirt for Katrina.  All for $50!

We then went to Macey's so Katrina could  buy some pansies.  (remember the ones  they helped Christie plant?  Well, Katrina found out where Christie bought them and has  been wanting to buy some for her own garden ever since.)  When we got  home, the kids all got busy working in Katrina's garden until dinner time.

A little bit of after dinner clean up, then we were ready for the next family adventure.  Aaron had gone swimming with  his friends, Luke & Issac, but the rest of us went bowling.

 We finished up just after 9:30, then drove over to the  rec center to pick up the  boys &  got  home just after 10 -

It was a  rather LONG  DAY! I think we will all sleep well tonight!
