Easter Break is such a tease. Five consecutive lazy days with beautiful weather are such a sweet, sweet, taste of summer, followed only by the harsh reality that we have to return to school for another month. I honestly adore this class and genuinely love coming to school to work with them, but man I love me some vacation time! I spent the first few days doing some much needed cleaning--we're talking about the DEEP cleaning that my house has so desperately needed for about a year. A few trips to the grocery store, playing outside with my babies, daily naps for everyone, reading a book at my leisure, a little gardening, and a bazillion loads of laundry completed= heaven. Not to mention celebrating Easter, complete with a wonderful worship service at church, Easter egg hunts, dying eggs, making an Easter craft with the kids, and time with family and friends!
Here's a short list of what I learned this week:
1. I love Spring!
2. My little man is growing up so fast. I swear he learned at least 10 new words and some new "tricks" this week.
3. My daughter CAN SPELL! Who knew?! You sound out the word and she can spell them! This makes the teacher in me VERY excited.
4. I still love to cook. I just don't have
5. My son naturally knows what to do with chocolate. Wonder where he learned such things.... :)
6. Naps make me happy--doublely so when I am the one taking them.
7. I feel majorly guilty for missing so many neat things my kids are doing and learning. I LOVE my job, but hate that it pulls me away from my babies. I've decided that when I come home from work, I need to do a better job of being present and WITH them, not just home at the same time as them.
8. My husband make great coffee. I do not.
9. I can't wait until we buy a house. I also can't wait to do "projects" around this house.
10. My parents are awesome. I love them as parents and as grandparents to my kids. It makes me happy to see the smile on their faces as they play with my babies.
And just because they're adorable...
Wouldn't you be counting down the days to spend more time with these little angel babies too?!
23 more days and counting!
