lovely lazy day

Well we bring school spring vacation to an end tonight. Overall we had a pretty great vacation. Did some biking/walking/Missa in a stroller on a rail trail about 25 minutes from our house. Hit up a few playgrounds and had some picnic lunches. Did lots of playing outback with friends in the sun... and enjoyed some opening day festivities for the local baseball association. K is playing t-ball and daddy is the assistant coach for his team. (It's so cute) Each year there is a parade and all the kids march, (with the firetrucks of course),  down to the town baseball fields. K was so proud to be in the parade, waving and smiling from ear to ear has he marched on past his sisters and myself. Little slugger did a great job in his first game too! :)

Pre-game "pep talk" 

We had beautiful weather! Warm and sunny all week. Couldn't have asked for more. The kids were outside and active all day everyday and exhausted each night. Asleep pretty much within minutes of hitting their pillows.

Today was the perfect end to the week.... it was actually rainy and chilly all day. (A big difference from the week that's for sure!) This rain was very welcomed, this past week there were quite a few brush fires in and around our area. One particular day I heard the fire horn (it's right down the road from our house) a few times, and saw trucks from our town and a few others flying by in all different directions.

However it was also welcomed because we needed a lazy day in the house! We headed to church this morning. my man was preaching today. (He fills in from time to time when our Pastor isn't able to be there) Sometimes this can prove difficult for me, as I'm left in a pew with 4 crazy kids.... they did very well today though. Thank you Lord! ;) We then picked up a few pizza's and headed home for lunch. We all got in our "comfy clothes"  and just relaxed for the rest of the day... by relax I mean, we all fell asleep for almost 3 hours!!! That Never happens! B was wiped and went down for her nap very quick & slept awesome, The rest of us were just laying around the living room watching t.v. and the next thing I new it was 4:30!!! WOW haha. I was planning on making some homemade tortellini, vegetable soup. That has now been put off til tomorrow and we ended up with re-heated pizza, some pasta salad I had made yesterday and a few had spaghetti O's ;) Hey, it worked!

I thought that long/late nap would throw off our bedtime routine with the kids.... I was wrong though. They went to bed about a half hour later than usual, but were all out fairly quickly with little fussing tonight. This week must have finally caught up to us all. It was much enjoyed & needed! Now we count down to summer vacation. (Although it will be nice to be able to catch up on my grocery shopping this week... it's much easier with only 2 kids... and we are in serious need of some re-stocking) :)
