Spring Break

The museum was so much fun!  They had the new exhibit up and running (bugs), and there was an Australian area that wasn't there before.  We saw a kangaroo, breaded dragons, blue tongued skinks, and there was a man playing a didgeridoo.  So awesome!

We filled Monday with painting, practicing our sorting by sorting laundry and sorting toys to put away.  Tuesday was filled with a morning play date, cowboy cookies, blueberry bread pudding with a toffee sauce that Hubby did (sinfully good!).  Yesterday I decided to make tortellini.  Yup, you read that right.  I used the spinach we had in our fridge (with Parmesan cheese) for the filling and the boys helped seal and form them.  Now they don't want to go back to dry pasta!  I think that's awesome.

Today we went to a friend's for tea and cookies in the morning and came home for lunch and naps.  While my two angelic and very tired girls were sleeping, the boys and I got busy.  We started washing floors, doing dishes, sweeping, cleaning, putting books and toys away.  At least the ones on the main floor.  The basement is still a mess of cars, blocks, pillows, and dolls.  When Girlie woke up she had to help wash the living room floor too.  And the boys helped sort more laundry.  Since that really is a never ending job.

All in all, it's been a busy, fun, and fast March break.  Tomorrow Smarty will be making cookies, I'll be making a peanut butter pie, and we'll make another trip to the library.  The girls have really enjoyed having the brothers home all day.  And that they can have their nap and not have to be woken up to pick the boys up from school.  I mentioned to Girlie that preschool was on for next week and she just started saying that she couldn't go to preschool because she was too tired.  Poor girl didn't hear when I said next week, I guess.

Tuesday night Hubby decided to grab an ice cube and put it down Smarty's pants.  Lots of giggling, more ice cubes, Smarty grabbed some, Sergeant grabbed some, Girlie got involved.  They kept it going for quite a while.  Then Wednesday afternoon Smarty decided to get it going again with Sergeant, and then again at bedtime yesterday.  Good thing ice cubes are renewable!
