MARCH BREAK, HOW DO WE LOVE THEE, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS!!

  It has snuck up on us once again. That time of year when the teachers get a break from our kidlets and parents have to "entertain" in any way shape or form.  I am very proud of myself, I actually have 3 things planned for my family/kids to do this year, an Angry Birds pottery painting at Crock-a-Doodle on Monday, a playdate on Tuesday with good friends, Minecraft, Handy Manny, and Elmo... and RBG's chocolate exhibit on Thursday.  Even though I am a relatively organized person, in the past I would leave it to the last minute and all the fun stuff would be booked, also for a couple of years we didn't have a second car so home we stayed :(      I am excited, we get to sleep in a bit, no rushing around, packing a lunch, worrying if pants fit, how many times teeth were brushed and if homework is in the backpack.  But alas, I still have to figure out what to feed the picky 9 year old at lunch time anyway.   More excitement -  No HOMEWORK, an extra hour, give or take at night to catch up on shows, read a story, dance... 
  At this time of year I am a bit more thankful and reflective.  When I was 15, on the Wed. of my March Break, my best friend and I were hit by a car, just after getting off of a bus, while crossing the street to go to my home.  I thank our lucky stars that we are still here to enjoy our childrens March Breaks.  If you get to have the pleasure of being with your kids 1, 2 or all 5 days  have fun, sleep in and enjoy the time together.
