- It's Friday! We're heading out for the weekend...taking the kids to a small amusement park! Not my choice of fun things to do on Spring Break, but it is my choice to see my kids having fun and doing something that they've been hearing about. We're going to a hotel with a pool, and just hoping for a relaxing weekend away. Our friend M is joining us on Saturday, and Daryl says that she and I have Saturday afternoon "off" - to shop by ourselves!!! Woot woot! I'm not looking forward to the decision making and the busy malls, but I am looking forward to -hopefully - coming home with a few new items that I am sorely lacking.
- Emilie has had a rough couple of nights. She has a cold, and when she has a cold she gets a bit of asthmatic wheezing. She coughed for roughly 1 hour solid last night, and then I heard her on and off the rest of the night. Right now she is sleeping on the couch where I put her when she joined me downstairs around 6am. I'm trying to keep the other kids quiet...
- The girls are FINALLY back in their new bedrooms!!! There is new carpet and the walls are beautiful shades of blue and green. We haven't moved any of their stuff in yet other than their beds. Along with changing rooms (we rearranged everyone), Emilie graduated to a toddler bed. The first night she was in there she lasted until about 11pm. Then she slept in our bed. Around 2am, I woke up soaked in her pee. I don't know if I've ever flown out of bed so fast.
- We're thoroughly enjoying spring break. We've spontaneously made donuts with friends, hiked, played outside a lot, had playdates with other kids/moms, the girls have baked and cooked, and other things. My family has heard me talk about our friend M...On Wednesday she picked up the 2 oldest girls and took them out for breakfast. Then they went to both malls and came back around noon! It was great for them.
- Right now I am reading Bitter Roots, Tender Shoots - The Uncertain Fate of Afghanistan's Women, by Sally Armstrong. Wow, is it ever eye-opening. I'm only in the first part of the book, but I'm "enjoying" it, if you can enjoy a book like that.
- Happy Friday!

do we get to see photos of the girls' rooms?
Hope you have a great weekend. Sounds like fun. I'd also love to see pics of the rooms.
Glad to hear you had a good spring break, ours is coming up the last week of this month. I don't know who is more ready for it, the children or I:-) Jerusha and I had a good, short stay with your folks over Aunt Dorothy's b-day. It was good to see them again.
Wow I recently read that book too. Intense, eh? Very compelling account to read.
