Spring Break

Last week was our Spring Break. Here's what we did....

Friday-Sunday
For that first weekend, boys ran amok outside with the neighbor friends while Peter and I worked on texturing/painting/cleaning up the bathroom. Back in December we dealt with a leaky pipe that was between the bathroom and kitchen walls. That issue got fixed immediately, but we had yet to find time to pretty up the two rooms. The kitchen finally got done a month ago, and now the bathroom is done too. It's not the best work, but it's livable and good enough for what we have to work with.

Before....there were so many nail/screw holes in the walls, discoloration from moisture, etc. 

After....I know you can't tell from the pic, but it definitely looks brighter, nicer and cleaner in person

Monday
I took the boys to the movies to see Home. Having no clue what this movie was about, we were all pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed the movie (not to mention all the previews....there are some fun movies coming out this summer that we're hoping to go see).

Tuesday
We headed out for 2 1/2 hours of jumping fun at Elevated Sportz (an indoor trampoline park). They have different sections of fun to choose from: foam pit, general jumping, basketball, and dodge ball. Once the boys discovered the dodge ball section, I didn't see them the entire time we were there except for water breaks.

By the time the jumping session was done, we were starving for lunch. We headed over to McDonald's to split lunch before heading home for some quiet time.

After we relaxed for a few hours and Peter came home, we went out for a mid-day treat to Baskin Robbins for $1.31 ice cream scoops.

After ice cream, we had enough time to have dinner and get ready for the boys' first flag football practice. Kristjan's soccer coach from last Fall volunteered to be the team's coach, where I was asked to be team parent and Peter stepped up to be an assistant coach. Our first practice went well. The rain started in halfway through the two hour practice. The boys (and adults waiting) were troopers, considering we were all drenched by the end of practice.

Wednesday
Our adventure for the day was roller skating. We ended up bumping into one of Kristjan's friends, so that was nice for the boys to have someone else other than each other to pal around with.

Thursday
We made plans to meet up with the Dortchs to swim at the Lynnwood Rec Center. We know this family from our old school, and both of us ended up moving away at the same time and relocating into the same new school district. Also while we were there, Kristjan ended up bumping into one of his friends (Kaitlyn) from school, so he had someone to pal around with. It was nice to catch up with Keri while the kiddos did their thing. Keri and I were both surprised that everyone lasted the entire 4-hour swim session!
