spring break, staycation day 3: food, friends & films...

(via camera phone)

plan: go to the store & get only what's on the list
result: a 6 year old with three suckers

plan: daddy daughter date to see 'tangled'
result: 'tangled' was sold out &
according to brian hell is pronounced 'pic-a-nic basket'

plan: have Q do a bit of homework every day
result: well, at least he can spell x-box

plan: have my bff, angie's, family over for a lovely dinner
result: calzone
+adult beverages
+ a few minor meltdowns (by the kiddos, honest.)
+charlie & lola
= a really lovely night

all the kiddos...
(via camera phone that wouldn't let me crop)

plan: kiddos sleep in their beds tonight
result: one's on the floor, one's in the closet...

plan: another rockin' staycation day
result: yes!

spring break staycation day 1: just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

it was just supposed to be Q & brian
but then miss m heard about it
& we all were in on the trip...
i had my doubts
she's kind of unpredictable
my best description of her is
'she's really really happy
unless she's really really mad'
but she loved it & we all had a grand time!

i even swam some laps
which i wasn't sure if i could do any more...
over the last 7 years my 'swimming' has involved
holding a small child or at least being
upright enough to rescue one if needed...
it was very cool...
& so tiring!
three hours later
we were home & passed out in various parts of the house...
the best kind of tired, if you ask me :)

hooray for spring break
& husbands who are teachers
& kids who like to do stuff
(most of the time :)
& staycation!
