Spring Break!!!!!

What could be cooler than a week off to spend catching up on all of the things we never get the chance to do! Even though the break technically begins tomorrow, we have already been caught up in the spirit. Matt has washed all the carpets and washed all the floors and even cleaned all of the windows, the kids even (kind of) cleaned their rooms. I made the kitchen spotless and perfect too (for about 5 minutes until we needed to use it again)

We also got the honor of babysitting our sons' little sister over night on Saturday. She is two and a total doll. Our unusually cordial ex-spouse/new spouse relationship is one of the true joys of my life. Without the firm foundation of mutual respect and friendship between all four parents, we could not offer our boys the stability and comfort the deserve. I can claim no credit for this blessing... it is all a gift. I will have to write a bit more about Laura another day. I don't think I ever thought when I was growing up that one day one of my favorite people would be the first wife of my beloved husband... just goes to show that life is a funny old thing.

The rest of the week should be pretty calm, if I am a very good girl I will go to Yoga three times... heavy emphasis on the "if". Then we are heading up to Pittsburgh for the holiday so that we can be spoiled rotten by my mother in law... Hands down the best Easter ham going!!

I love my job, but I have to say that I am pretty fond of the vacations we get from teaching too :)

Thanks for the sweet comment on our blog! It is so fun to "meet" new people in the adoption process- I am excited for you guys to start your adoption, I will definitely be following your journey!

Oh, how I'd so love to have a wait to tidy and organize everything. Admittedly, although we cleaned the house spotless for the homestudy there was a lot 'shoving stuff in closets' due to lack of time. Ces la vie!

Have fun on your vacation!
