Ahhh, Spring Break. That little taste of summer vacation that makes the rest of the school year go oh.so.slowly in anticipation of the freedom of responsibility to come.
Even as a teacher and a mom of two littles, the beauty of Spring Break is still there. A much needed respite to get recharged for the remaining two months of the school year. We may not have gone to the beach - or really ventured too far from home - but our "to-do" list is now a little bit smaller and lots of fun was had by all.
It started off with a bang with the
Preds Run and game and celebrating
the Feast of St. Patrick. We also enjoyed our favorite indoor playground, made it to storytime at the library, and finally ventured to
The Discovery Center - a place we enjoyed enough to grab a membership to come back more often! Of course, we also enjoyed the beautiful weather with lots of trips to the parks, a zoo day, and just going on long walks outside in the neighborhood.

As for me, after spending some time working on basic lesson plans to get me through the end of April and also planning a few upcoming summer vacations, I finally had time to get a little sewing in - making a skirt and dress for Lissie, a pair of shorts for Xavier, and a few cloth napkins. Plus, I bought all of the materials for my next few projects: reusable snack/sandwich bags and more cloth napkins!

Phew. It was a busy Spring Break, but it sure was a blast! Now to refocus my energies on school for a couple of months before we get rewarded with our Memorial Day week-long trip to Puerto Rico!
