Ahhh....Spring Break! Wasn't quite as fun for me as it was for the kids since I spent most of mine at work behind a desk..BUT the kids had a blast! Lemonade stands, neighborhood ball games- basically running around with their friends. The weather was delightful and just what you'd expect from March in St. George. Arielle had her birthday party at the Hidden Valley Park. Invited about 10 girls, horse theme of course. Toby was a great help with planning the entertainment. They each made their own horse treat bag then went on a treasure hunt for the goodies (Toby had it all mapped out for them with clues). Then they played mustang tag and dug in the sand. Very low key & inexpensive but packed with fun. When the weekend finally came for me I took the kids to SLC for Mady's baby blessing. Jim had to work so he got left at home (sorry honey). We had a great time! Crystal, Julie, Toby, Arielle, Mady, Izy, Conner & I went to buy our Twilight movie at midnight on Friday. The actress who played Victoria was signing autographs at the Walmart we went to. They also had food & face painting. Over the weekend I got to sneak in a haircut and trip to one of my favorite stores (IKEA). The kids had a blast running around with their cousins & grandparents. Scott did a great job blessing Mady and we had a really nice evening at my parents with yummy food. Drove home at midnight in a snowstorm so I could be at work Monday morning. Quick trip, but totally worth it!
