We had no plans for Spring Break, we have foster baby #30 with us this week so that meant we were mostly home bound. We’ve been busy tidying up the house and organizing,again. It seems every time we get on top of things the boys go in like a tornado and in 5 minutes or less it’s back to where we started.
Anyhow, I always tend to dread week long breaks, it’s just enough time for us to get completely out of routine, amped up in general and it tends to be not so much of a break. I have to admit, I have whole heartedly enjoyed this week with the boys! They have been helpful, fun to be with and have been getting along amazingly. Trey’s been the most “off” and is one who needs his routine, but even he has been a trooper.
Today was the best of all. The weather was gorgeous, the boys were out in their shorts (Carlos with a belt, of course) and played together for a couple of hours in the yard while Dee and I added some topsoil to the garden beds and weeded the poor, choked out strawberries. Came in, ate some lunch and Dee and the boys took a nap while I brought up the bins of spring/summer clothes to sort out. LOTS to go to consignment, that’s for sure. If you need 4T, 5T shorts, I way overbought at the clearance sales.
After naps we had promised Carlos that we would walk down the beach to a fort that he’s been asking us about. He has been so patient, asking for a couple of weeks but we’ve just been busy when the weather is decent and then there’s the not-spring weather we’ve been having. So we walked down to the fort and the boys continued their ongoing pirate adventure in the fort. They even said they were planning on moving it, having it be their new house. Mama’s had to point out the lack of beds, walls, food, bathrooms…..you know, just spoil the plans, but only after awhile when they were seriously thinking they were going to follow through.
On the walk back to our house, we stopped at “Lori’s Rock” and got some super cute pictures of the guys. Thanks, Lor, for getting them to smile! 🙂
