Spring Break

Ahhh, the much needed Spring Break is here!  And guess where we went?... NOWHERE!  Woohoo!  We were invited to go to my cousin's house in Charleston, along with my sister and fam, but we just had too much going on.

Last weekend, we ended up putting our house on the market, so that, along with all of our Easter activities, kept us on the go.

This week has completely flown by.  Monday, I took the kiddos to daycare and did things around the house/ran errands.  Tuesday and Thursday, Stephen and I did a little house-hunting.  We want to be prepared if/when someone wants to buy our house!  It ate up both days, but I think we got some good information.

Wednesday, Stephen and I took the girls to Stone Mountain.  It was the one day this week where the forecast wasn't bad, and I think everyone, their brother, AND their aunt decided to go, too!  It was kind of a bust.  The girls wanted to do the Sky Hike, which, from the ground, didn't look so bad. Stephen got in line and I took the girls to the little kid area where they could do obstacle courses.

I traded with Stephen, and he took the girls to play while I was in line.  I was waiting in line for about 45 minutes when we got to the point that said, "Your wait time from this point is 60 minutes."  What?!?!  Well, there was no going back then.  When we finally got up there, we all started off fine.  After doing the course for about 2 minutes, Taylor flipped out.  I took her back.  Then, Sydney was flipping out but kept going.  The problem was, she was going so slowly.  She'd stop on a little deck and cry her little eyes out (bless her heart!) and then would go.  Finally, she got to a point where there was an emergency exit, and she was able to go down that.  Let's just say the whole ordeal took 3 hours.  Never. Again.  At least, not until they are maybe 12.  Poor Sydney told me later that she kept going because I "had waited in line so long" and she "didn't want to waste it".  Isn't that sweet?  I told her anytime she's not comfortable doing something, it doesn't matter how long we had to wait, she should stop.

After that, Sydney couldn't stop crying and had a headache.  We went to eat lunch, and by then, everything had a crazy line... the train, the 4-D movie.  We ended up going to the Geyser Towers, which is like a huge playground with water.  They played about an hour, and then we left.

This totally makes me never want to go to Disney World!  We so didn't get our money's worth out of those tickets.  But, at least we know better now and I'm glad they enjoyed the Geyser Towers for a while.

That afternoon, I picked up Parker from daycare and took him to get a haircut.

Look at that face!

 I think a haircut was needed.

The kiddos have had a good time, I think.  They've done fun things each day at daycare, like a fieldtrip to a park, ice cream truck, little arts & craft activities, etc.  They've had fun playing at home in the afternoons.  Parker has a dentist appointment, and I hope to take the girls to see Cinderella this weekend.  Then... back to school!!!  Noooo!!  Though only 30 more days... I think I can, I think I can!

Don't worry, he wasn't actually mowing the grass.  

He looks so grown here!
