Josey's day and the last official day of spring break

So today was Josey's day to plan our spring break adventures.

So after MUCH deliberating..... and I mean it took FOREVER for her to make a decision she decided to go here. She just could not decide between the Children's Museum or walking around the mall or the zoo etc. She had list after list that she would keep writing down trying to make the best decision. Then when she would decide something she would want to run it by Maddy. I had to keep reminding her that this was HER day and that it didn't matter what anyone else wanted to do. She is always so concerned that everyone is happy and has such a hard time choosing something if there are other people involved. She is definitely a sweet heart!

So we stopped off to get her some new church shoes she needed. She picked these!


Then we headed over to see our movie "Hotel For Dogs". And then played in the nickel arcade for an hour or so. She had a great time as did everyone else. This is the loot she came home with from the arcade.

Maddy got a few things as well but this sticky ball was her favorite.


And Lilly had already destroyed the items she got and gobbled up the candy.


So spring break is over.......mixed feelings. I have loved being able to sleep in and to have the older girls to help entertain Lilly during the day. But honestly I miss having a few quiet minutes during the day when they are at school and Lilly is in bed. But it has been fun. And I think that letting them plan a day has been fun for them and made them feel like they actually had a fun spring break.
Josey's last supper is homemade clam chowder that she is SUPER excited to help make and wear my apron! And she wants it with apples, corn, homemade french fries and a cake. We will see if the cake gets made but I think we can handle the rest!

Jess - you are so good to let them have a day to pick the day for spring break. I'll have to try that one next year!

How fun! That first picture of Josey is sooo beautiful. Sometimes I think her and CJ look a lot alike. You are such a fun creative mom!
