Usually for spring break, if we don't go anywhere, we don't do anything but hang out around the house. But since I have been working lots and feeling like I don't have much quality time with the kids, I decided to do some fun things with them.
Thursday we worked on the house alot- cleaning that is- and then we went to Chucky Cheese. (They were happy to help clean knowing we were going there later.) They loved it!! Pat did too, he had to get the high score at the basketball shooting game of course. Jaida was afraid to ride anything that moved, but if it was just sitting there she climbed all over the rides, and sat in them for long periods of time. By the time it was all said and done we had 450 tickets and 4 tired but happy girls.

Friday we went shopping for Amanda. She is growing too fast. She has grown out of all her school clothes for this year and was in desperate need of new stuff. I am tired of her wearing sweats everyday. She loves sweats and would choose them over anything. Its my own fault, she is just like I was. Anyways we went and got her 2 pair of jeans and a couple shirts and then we went to Grandma Pati's house and hung out for a few hours. We went home that evening and the girls had a sleep over with eachother in our basement. They watched Charlottes Web, had ice cream sundaes, and then slept in a bed I made on the floor. I laid on the bean bag next to them until the fell asleep so they weren't scared, and then headed up to my bed. I need my bed at night. I have a hard time sleeping anywhere else.
Today we woke up, made a yummy pancake breakfast, and then headed out for more shopping for Amanda. JcPenney was having a great sale on shirts, and she really needed more. I also got all 4 of the girls a new swimsuit. We had decided that we were going to the Legacy Center in Lehi to swim later on today. After shopping we headed home and had lunch, let Jaida get a nap in, and then headed for the pool. Adam, Denise and Eliana came with us and we had a blast. The girls really loved it. It is a really nice indoor pool with activities for the kids and slides, lazy river etc..... Amanda's friend Whitney came too, so they ran off together and checked in every so often.

All in all it was a great few days with the girls. We all got along for the most part, and really enjoyed spending time together. Earlier today I asked the girls if they were enjoying their Spring Break and Paige said "Mom, this has been the best Spring Break ever!" It made me happy.
Pat wasn't able to join us much because he was studying for 2 huge exams in Chemistry and Biology which he took today and did really good on both! YAY for my honey!! :)
