spring break

Well it's very hard to keep the kids busy, and from being "bored". Although i have to say they do come up with ways to entertain themselves, for that i am grateful. Mr. monkey has taken to cutting up boxes and making them into a solder-transformer thing. They have also vowed to kill the ants in the backyard. This one i am keeping an eye on, it could get a little sticky :)
We went to the park yesterday and fed the ducks, there are a ton of them out there. There were even little baby ones, and oh were they cute! Monkey was very protective of them, and kept telling the midget and i to get away we were scaring them. Who knew at the ago of 9 he was all knowing on the matter of ducks too. We went to grandma's where he proceeded to nearly beat her at checkers. grandma whooped the midget at checkers, i guess there is no letting the little ones when with her...
Today we went to my favorite place, i mean the kids favorite place. The children's museum. They had some new exhibits, and wow were they cool! The kids had an absolute blast, and so did I. They have a kid city, and you get money and can make more doing jobs. It's a really neat idea, was a little crowded though. They loved the news station. You could even record and play back yourself on the news! It was tons of fun, and all were exhausted when we got home, thank goodness.

It's Spring Break!!! Woohoo! The kids came home not to find the house, but to be greeted and welcomed to "Le Mom's Resort". We used grandpa's white board (best thing ever grandpa :) and wrote a sign, and told them all the fun things we can do here. Granted they are things we can always do here, but it sounds better when you can make it look like a hotel. I had put flowers out, and cookies with drinks. They thought it was the coolest thing ever, sometimes they are so easy to please. That is nice :) I put little signs over the t.v. and said it was an arcade, and the bathroom is now a spa. I even got some cucombers for their eyes, they have seen that on t.v. and in magazines and always ask why people do that. I've never done that, so i am curious to see too. We aren't going anywhere out of town, so i thought this might make being home a little more exciting. I also got mario kart and wii music. Only problem being the little midget girl has fallen obssesed with the wii music. It is neat though, you can record video of yourself playing in the screen.
The children's museum has some new exhibits, so we will head out there. Grammie and grandpa have relatives coming, so we will go that way also. The kids are happy just running around outside, and playing with the neighbor kids. It must be good to be little.
