Spring Break

For spring break the boys and I went up to my parents. Nicole and the girls came down and we all had so much fun together. We were very busy playing and going places. On the first day, family friends, Patty and Jerry, brought over Lego's that their son, Tony, had growing up. They gave them to Will since they knew of his love of them!! They brought over these two tubs and another tub filled with a Lego train set. My dad had to weigh them because we were shocked at the amount - any guesses???

50 POUNDS (without the train set)!!! Yikes!! Needless to say, Will wanted to stay at Grandpa and Grandma's house instead of going to the zoo the next day!

My Dad also instituted "slave labor." He told the kids he would pay them to help pick up sticks in the yard and put rocks in the wheelbarrow. My Dad use to make my sisters and I pick up sticks as punishment. Boy have times changed!!

Andrew didn't pick up many sticks but he sure loved riding in the wheelbarrow!!

Make sure not to miss any!

Will was definitely the most motivated - he worked throughout the week and even asked if he could go outside and work.

One day we went to Lego Land. We thought we had gotten there early but they ended up opening early for spring break. They were full to capacity when we got there so we will go back another time. We got to go into the store and see a couple of things while we were there though.

We went to Brookfield Zoo one day - it was a beautiful day! The boys were struggling though!
