spring break!!!

It has been soooooooooooooooooo nice having Avery home.  Man we have missed her.  Today Camille just jumped on top of her and was hugging her.  Av was letting it all happen.  They have missed each other.  Weekends are one thing, usually we are on the go.  Today was a day pretty much at home.  Although C was tired we really enjoyed each other.  The girls did so well together.  They played a lot.  Even went outside by themselves and just played with each other.  It was soooo nice that I didn't have to be out there.  When E got up though he was mad and I had to take him out right away.  He wanted in the tractor and to be driven around.  He loves it!!  Just sits in it yelling for someone to drive him.  Only a matter of time before he figures it out.  On Monday we took a fire house tour with some friends and then went to a park to have lunch.  It was pretty fun.  When we came home the neighbors were out so we spent the rest of the day playing in the yard.  Love it!!!!  Tuesday we had some work men coming to the house so we had friends over.  The Masons came over.  It was really fun.  The neighbors were out again and all the kids had fun together.  I managed to schedule Av's therapies for the week back to back so that was AWESOME!!!  She had OT with Ms. Katie at 3 and speech with Ms. Courtney at 4.  I was able to run to the grocery with the other 2 while she was there.  It was perfect.  I hope to do that in the summer too.  Then we got home and played outside some more.  Today we were going to head to a play place in cincy but I didn't have it in me since we had not slept.  We ate lunch at a park with the Masons but we were only there an hour.  It was freezing out so we came home.  We did have a nice day though.  Av and I went over a lot of her work in the am and then read a few hundred books and then did her spring break homework in the pm.  The girls and I had popcorn and watched Lady and the Tramp too.  It was really nice.  I love having my sweet big girl home.  Didn't realize how much I missed her.

Yesterday am C spent 30 minutes screaming about the clothes she wanted to wear for the day and a ring she could not find.  Then E was a little fussy and whinny.  Av said, "I want to go back to school, there's a lot of screaming here."  Ugh made me feel bad.  She then went on to ask, "how many more days until I go back to school."  She misses school!!!   Which is good yes, but man, I want her to have a great spring break too.  So I really tried today to just shower her with my attention and make it special for her.  Even though we didn't do anything special I gave her all of my time.  She said today she is having a great spring break.  I know she is only 6 and I may be crazy but I really want to make sure this is a special time for her.   Tomorrow J is home and if warm enough we are heading to the zoo.  Then we are packing and heading to the lake with Av's bff Caroline so that should be super special for her.  I can't wait.  We are going to Mammoth Cave, Dinosaur world and KY Down Under.  Fun times in Cave  City!!!
