• Spring Break this week! Yay! It was so nice to have a break from the norm and enjoy  time with the kids. I did have to work a few hours everyday but Friday but the kids didn't mind it too much since I had fun teenage girls come each day. Since I was working I told them we could do two fun things this week. 
• On Monday I used my last Chuck E. Cheese deal I bought months ago and took the kids over to Sandy. Bodee was SO happy when we pulled into the parking lot. He really loves that place. He was still scared of Chuck E. when the big mouse started walking around  but he was all about the tokens and tickets. The girls are getting really good at getting tickets now so it's kind of fun to see them figure out how to get the most tickets they can.

• Other things we did over spring break; library, bike rides, parks, and playing with friends.

• Friday I took the kids to do the other "fun thing" of the week. They chose to go to Kangaroo Zoo and jump on the inflatables. It was the first time I realized I am finally at the stage where I can let the kids run and play and I don't have to follow a toddler around. Bodee was able to keep up with the girls just fine and they definitely watched out for him. It was great! I read while the kids played!

• Saturday and Sunday were all about General Conference. The kids did well and listened to a bit of each session. They did have fun playing games from their conference kid packet. I know it's good for them to listen to the prophet and apostles and learn from the talks that were given. I always appreciate the things I learn from the talks given. Conference always reminds me that I can be a better, more righteous mother, wife, and person. 
• Of course the kids get ADD after a little while so we took the kids on drives and to the park between sessions.
