Spring break extras

So because of how many places we go on Easter we celebrate early and we can get away with it! Not sure how many more years we can get away with it but it will make this Easter slightly easier! 

So we colored eggs at my moms and we colored chocolate candy eggs that came with food coloring markers that I will use later to write love notes on boogs lunch items and then we had the Easter bunny visit us early. He brought a basket ball hoop arcade style game filled with fun goodies! 

Spring break day 9

Saturday day 9 of spring break. 

Original plans: go to the home of grave digger (it's a monster truck) for a monster egg hunt (10,000 eggs some with up to $500 in them!) then go to the truck and tractor pull. 

What actually happened: well Friday night boog ended up staying the night at Grammys house so me and hubby slept in. We woke up to a monsoon outside (ok it wasn't that bad but the yard was yucky and was only a preview of what was hugging the coastline of NC and VA all day! And then the d-bag (excuse my language) that hubby works part time for changed the schedule WITH OUT notifying hubby ahead of time (pretty sure there is a policy about changing someone schedule with out telling them) so he ended up going to work. So I went over to my moms and then boog, my mom, my sister and me went and painted pottery! It was a fun relaxing rainy day activity! Boog painted this octopus trinket box thing and I painted 2 more napkin ring holders to add to my set that I'm slowly working on accumulating! 

Spring break day 8

Friday day 8 of spring break:

Once again plans didn't go as we hoped. It was cold and rainy. ALL day long. So instead of going bike riding at sea shore state park (which is now known as first landing state park but will forever remain in locals minds as sea shore state park we went to the indoor water park at the rec center and it was a blast! 

Spring break (day 7)

Thursday day 7 of spring break: 

So we originally planned to wake up early (when I say early I mean 9am --yes that's early for us on a non school day- yes boog normally sleeps in, I sleep trained him as a baby and he has been an awesome sleeper ever sense and we have rules about home day mornings but more on that at a later date!) and drive to knotts island and take the ferry down to currituck sound and then drive the rest of the way to kill devil hills and enjoy jockeys ridge where the sand dunes were and get duck donuts along the way. 

---EPIC FAIL!!!!---

We didn't wake up till 10 and didn't leave the house till noon. 

We didn't take the ferry.

And we didn't stop at duck donuts. 

It was chilly at home and freezing on the dunes.

It was so windy that it took 2 hours to get across to the edge of the dunes and back.

We got sand blasted the entire time. 

But we did have fun and on the way home we stopped at the inlaws for red beans and rice. 

Spring break (day 6)

Wednesday (day 6 of spring break!) 

Well aside from it being free coffee day and my little brothers birthday I went on my first interview in um almost 4 years it was for the promo team at the radio station and honestly my only motivation was to get the free stuff 😄 unfortunately I didn't get the job but I'm not sure I really wanted it anyways. I love being with my son and doing the fun things with him over school breaks (my parents are teachers so they always had off when we were out of school so the idea of working outside the home during a school break makes my stomach hurt) and it won't be long before I get to take care of my sweet little niece or nephew (still don't know what the baby will be, she is waiting till birth!) after the interview we went and ate a birthday lunch for my brother at Johnny rockets it was super yummy 😄😄😄 and then headed home for a nap before church (it's royal ranger night and boog had an Easter egg hunt with his  group! Of course I sent in goody bags and leader treats!) 

Spring break 2014 (day 5)

Spring break day 5 Tuesday: 

We spent the morning running around the very packed aquarium that apparently 6 schools from 2 city's over were on a field trip at with my friend K and her 3 boys (only 2 were old enough to enjoy what little of it we could enjoy with how many people were crowding the place!) it was their first time however not our first time prob our 200th time going (we have a membership which is fantastic! I highly suggest getting memberships to your local museums and parks, we have one to botanical gardens, and the rec center too!) then we went and got our free tax day fries from Arby's! Love free things!

Spring break (day 4)

Monday-day 4

We enjoyed the morning and a picnic lunch at botanical gardens with daddy before he went to work! So glad we have a membership here it will be a blast all summer!
