William-ism

This morning is Easter. The kiddos woke early this morning, excited to see what the Easter Bunny may have left for them. 

One of the candies left in the baskets was KitKats. Will's favorite chocolate bar, or so I thought. I thought wrong. 

Wull's new favorite chocolate?  Crunch bar. "Because it spells 'run' in it!!"

Happy Easter!

Spring Break

The kiddos are off from school this week.

The Littles are spending the week with Nana in Vermont.

I took a road trip on Saturday to drop them off.  Up and back in one day isn't all that bad, though it makes for a long day.  Luckily, it was a gorgeous day for road tripping.  Plus, I had two awesome co-pilots -- both my sister, Rachel, and my niece, Amanda, went along for the ride.  We chattered the whole trip away.

Yesterday morning, both Grace and Dianna sang with the Junior Choir and Children's Choir at church.  It was a lovely song.  I took a video of it on my phone.  I'll see if I can get it uploaded later today to share with y'all.

After church, Dianna and I went to the movie theater to (finally) watch Divergent.  I'd promised her that we could both go to see it a few weeks ago.  While it strayed from the story in the book here and there, Dianna and I both agreed that it was a very good version anyway.

We rounded out the day with a dinner date for the four of us, followed by some outdoor time.  Dianna and Gordon rode their bikes a bit while I worked in the flower gardens.

This week of Spring Break is shaping up to be a great week filled with lots of quality time for Gordon and me and both of the big girls.

Bright lights, big city

Grace is on her way to Washington, DC. Almost the entire eighth grade of the middle school is going. It is an annual class trip. They will ride a coach bus down (about 10hrs, the kids were told) and will stay four to a room at a hotel. 

I'm jealous. I have never been to DC. 

I'm worried. All the worries of a mom. 

I'm excited. I know she is going to have a blast!
