Wow. That was the longest week ever. Who would have known that having spring break at home would turn out to be so great? We would have loved a vacation spent somewhere tropical, sure, but let me just say that a week spent lounging around with those you love is pretty darn great.
I wondered at first just how much different it would feel from our regular weeks. Would we just do the same old things and watch the week waste away? Let me say, I think we found the perfect combination of relaxation and activity. The girls have today off from school as well, so for my last day of spring break let me leave you with a list of things you can do when home for one week with your family.
