Spring Break

I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by.  Spring break already.  In fact, it's the second week of spring break.  In this household that is the week of recovery.  Last week we spent five glorious days in Riviera Maya, Mexico, at a wonderful all-inclusive resort.  Even better, my brother and sister-in-law and nieces and nephew spent three of those days with us so we got in lots of good family time.  It was nice because most of the family was sick over Christmas and didn't make it to the family gathering so we still got to see them, only a few months late and it much better surroundings.

We got home Sunday night and about an hour after we got to the house Charlie left again for a week-long conference in California.  So I'm here trying to do load and loads of laundry (even the clean stuff we brought home had that moldy humid hotel smell so had to be washed) and keep the littles occupied.  Luckily it was a beautiful day today and the girls got to spend some time riding their bikes outside before the (shh!) snow hits on Thursday and Friday morning.

Then next week it's back to school for two months and summer once again.  I can't decide if I'm looking forward to summer or not.  Of course I'm looking forward to all the travel, but whenever the kids are home for multiple days I question whether I will be able to live through the next break, and the next one is a doozy.

For now I'm just going to get the house ready for guests this weekend (yippee!) and the arrival of the Easter Bunny.  We've got a few more things to do before I can think about summer break.
