Spring Break 2019

We didn't go anywhere for Spring Break this year.  We usually do something small.  Last year, we went to Colorado.  The year before...St. Louis.  This year, we didn't leave town but I took advantage of the 10 days off with my boys and tried to get out of the house and do some fun things.  We went to Paradise Park in Lee's Summit, Sky Zone, the Prairie Fire Museum, Crown Center, Kaleidoscope, and celebrated St. Patrick's Day at the parade in Brookside.  The best part?  We spent zero dollars on all our activities!  My parents bought us a PogoPass for Christmas this year and it gets us into so many places for free!  Best gift ever!

Tonight the boys asked if they could email their teachers telling them what they did over their Spring Break.  I let them, of course...and it was adorable.  I loved seeing their inventive spelling and just how far they've come with their writing.  Not bad for a bunch of 5-year-olds!  And apparently Ollie is now on a first-name basis with his teacher.

I had several projects I had intended on getting done but wasn't quite as productive as I had hoped.  I did however read THREE books during my time off and got in 11 workouts!  AND I got my hair done.  It was nice to allow myself some "me time".

All in all, it was a very enjoyable time off with my kiddos and made me excited for this summer!
