Spring Break!!

The boys and Aaron have been on there Spring Break the last week, we have got a lot done and had some fun doing it.
We wanted to put the boys into swimming lessons during Spring Break but my oldest boys were surprisingly afraid to do it. The youngest of course would of had no problem. We settled with a 1 month membership to the YMCA a family pool pass. The plan was to go during the break but one of the boys has been under the weather since Monday. He has been running a fever, had a bad cough and spurts of energy, so the pool thing and a lot of other fun things have been put on hold.
We started Spring Break off seeing a mule deer across the field from where we are staying. That deer was in trouble the boys ran and grabbed dads bow right off "get him dad!!" We put the bow away and tracked it as a family instead. We got maybe 15-20 yards from her when she popped up and bobbed and weaved out of there. It was beautiful!
We did go shopping at The Big Mall. The boys each saved there birthday money and we gave them some from tax returns. It was seriously burning a hole in there pockets. In there defense they have been very patient waiting till now to get to spend it. We came home will Heelys, hats, play dough, footballs, toy guns etc. it was fun!
We have spent a lot of time doing the one thing the boys hate most.~HOUSE HUNTING~ They have to behave and not be wild, that's not easy for little boys in big open spaces. We think we have narrowed it down...............Build. We can't find anything we really like, most have no yard worth considering a yard, or your house almost sets on the neighbors, and my big one the kitchen sets in the living room, it has not been a fun process. We met with a builder the other night. He is crunching some numbers to see what he can do, which seemed promising when he left. We are wanting to be in a very nice new area at the edge of town. It has nice walking paths, seems like a good community atmospheres, a little park (my back yard had more play structures then it has) and beautiful homes with a potential yard!!
I made the mistake of picking Clayton up on bikes after school the Friday before Spring Break we all rode through something and need to repair at least 1 tire of all the bikes. We have enjoyed weather in the 60's and today is suppose to be 70. I think Spring may of Sprung and during Spring break. The boys have golfed on the dirt mounds and in the open fields, we have flown kites, graded papers and just enjoyed being together as a family. Spring Break came just in time for our family, it is just what we needed to catch up.
