Cucumber

Spring break is here for my kids and I decided that instead of just trying to endure it, that I would try to make it something fun. So on Sunday we sat down and made a schedule where the kids each picked out some fun things to do. They also go to plan the entire menu for the week. The first day I think was a success. We got to go to the library where the kids got to check out some books on their very own, brand new library cards. Trevor had even held some on the computer for himself. Then we did my weekly shopping, that's right with all 4 of them! It was not to bad. Then we went up to Bryan's work to pick him up. It is a 35 minute drive each way and Trevor read an entire Magic Tree House book (Haunted Castle on Hallows Eve) in the car. We spent an hour there, playing in the hot tub and watching movies. The kids love the clinic because they can play with all the exercise equipment and eat all the candy they want. We have also implemented a word of the day. Monday's word was cucumber and when ever anyone said it, everyone had to smile, no matter how upset they were. It worked pretty good, even Nathan said cucumber to people to make them smile. We are looking forward to the rest of the week together.
