Spring Break Chronicles 2012 - Day 6


Thursday was Day 6 of spring break and it was a somewhat uneventful day.  My daughter was a little under the weather so we couldn't really go anywhere as a family.  We hung around the house most of the day.  The boys spent a great deal of the time playing with one another; which is something they love to do.  After breakfast I laid down on the couch with Syann and we both fell asleep.  I think I was knocked out for about an hour, but not quite sure on that.  According to the husband I was snoring, but I don't know about that either.


Lunch was simple; the kids and the husband had some chicken nuggets and I had some buffalo chicken bites.  We all had some sliced potato fries to go with our meat and of course a drink.  In the afternoon the husband decided to take the boys for a walk.  They got dressed, put Booka on his leash, and went for a walk while I stayed home with Syann.  About 15 minutes after they left the house I heard a knock at the door.  They were back.  When they came inside I mentioned how quick that was and my husband said that not too long after they left the boys started talking about how hot it was outside and how tired they were so they came back.  Kids today don't truly understand what hot and tired is, but it was a little funny to hear them say it when they came back.


When it was time to think about dinner I got some rice going.  While the rice was cooking in the steamer the kids reminded their daddy that he said he was going to take them to the park.  So we all got dressed and went to Tom Brown Park.  Syann was feeling a little bit better after taking a lukewarm bath.   When we got to the park I went to swing with  Syann, who was a little clingy, and the fellas went to kick around the soccer ball.  I had a nice conversation with another mother while sitting on the swings and then eventually Syann wanted to walk around.  She didn't walk around for long before she actually got in the kid swings so I could push her.  She wanted to do that for a little bit before getting out.  We went over to where the fellas were playing soccer and watched for a minute.  Then I gave Syann to her dad and kicked the ball around with lil Malcolm.  After kicking the ball around for awhile we left the park and went to the store to get pizza; one of the kids favorite things to eat.  We went home and started to get ready for dinner.  I put the pizza in the oven and we decided to watch Mary Poppins; which they have never seen and neither has my husband.


A day filled with pizza, the park, and F-U-N.  Day 6, as usual, was another great family day.  Everyday is a great day for spending time with family; which is a theme you will see quite often in my blog and the spring break chronicles.  Stay tuned for more adventures.
