Spring Break Chronicles 2012 - Day 2


Yesterday was day 2 of spring break and it was pretty much uneventful.  The kids were so tired from staying up late the night before that they were still sleeping when I got up to get ready for church.  I didn't have the heart to wake them up, plus they would have been very cranky, so I went by myself.  The third Sunday is the day I am scheduled to volunteer in the church nursery so I got to have fun with the kids while getting my church on at the same time.


After I came back from church everyone was awake.  I sat around for awhile before fixing everyone some lunch.  A good portion of our day on Sunday, Day 2, was spent watching movies.  For those who don't know the Gambles Family LOVES movies.  We especially like animation movies and movies about mystical places/worlds.  It is a nice escape from reality.  Every now and then we have a movie day where we just sit and watch movies all day and that is what Day 2 of spring break was for us; a movie day.  After lunch and a couple more movies we went to the store and got some ice cream, along with a couple other household needs then went back home.  I proceeded to cook us a late dinner, tacos, and then we watched some more movies.  Everyone fell asleep in the living room, except the husband who went to sleep upstairs in a bed.  When I woke up this morning prepared to have a great day 3 I was surrounding on the couch by three children; which is something that happens quite often.


Day 2 of spring break yesterday was a relaxing family movie day and we had a nice time just enjoying each other's company.  That is the best part about spring break.  We can do what we want.  We can go where we want.  Or, we can go nowhere at all and still have a good time because we value our time together no matter where we are or what we are doing.  After all, family is what it's all about!!
