Play-Learn-Grow-Repeat

From Wednesday Mom – Janelle:
Hello, spring break! This week, the boys and I get to hangout in our pajamas until late morning. We get to play board games we don’t always have time for. We read each other books, and the kids made me some new projects with their art supplies.

Last weekend, we kicked off our spring break with warmer weather. It was beautiful. We played sports in the backyard, cooked on the grill, and toasted marshmallows over the campfire. We hiked and biked and wore ourselves out. After two gorgeous days, the floodgates opened and it’s been rainy, gray and depressing outside ever since.

Some of the boys friends’ are out of town, but a few are hanging around. We ventured out to a fun arcade and met up with some of their friends. The boys had fun playing ski ball, whack a mole, and other loud games that spit out tickets. It immediately turned into a competition of who got the most and whose prize was the coolest.  I was able to chat with the moms and enjoy myself in their company.

As much as I would love to be vacationing on the beach right now, we’re enjoying our time together at home. It’s nice to slow down the pace and relax with each other. Although there are bouts of boredom, we eventually find something to make, watch, bake, or play. Jack and Tate’s little minds are full of creativity, and I love watching it all come to life.
