Spring is here!!!

I could just jump up and down with exuberant joy over here!

I am LOVING the daylight savings time with the extra light in the evenings.

I’m loving the spring like weather that has FINALLY graced us with its presence.

It’s making for a happier and calmer mommy, therefore, it should be making for a happier and calmer home, right?

I think so…

This week is Spring Break week for all 4 kids.. I have to work, so there is no fun travel plan, but we are doing what we can during the week, to make it more exciting than the typical routine of a week.

We went out for FREE Pie night at Village Inn last night. Just us 5.. it was great. The kids seemed to enjoy it. Then, went home, and they played outside until it was dark.

I plan on doing the same thing tonight with them.

We have company coming in over the weekend, so it should be a pretty fun time for all.

Grilling, playing outside, possibly flying kites, going to a Harry Potter Convention, and an adult party Sat night.

I am hoping for a great finish off to this spring break week.

I do have to mention, the kids went to their dad’s over the weekend, and I had a full rejuvenation of a weekend. 🙂 sigh of relief.

It was much needed, and I sure hope it makes me more of an appreciative mom. Appreciative of those special moments with the kids, responding more with patience and kindness, rather than the stress and anger that I had in previous months. I really need to curb that.

Enjoying this lovely weather to the fullest….
