The kids’ spring breaks did not coordinate this year between the elementary/middle schools & the high school/college. Bummer. Chris and I had a whole week to hang out, go to the gym, and write a college psychology paper. We did make one attempt at having fun – we drove to Charlotte – actually HE drove to Charlotte. (BTW did you know that you can’t cross the state line with your learner’s permit? Now I know.) There was only one truly harrowing moment & otherwise we both survived. We went to IKEA, REI, & Nordstrom’s. I guess it wasn’t that much fun for Chris, but at least he was able to hold on to the steering wheel for a few hours & give me a few more grey hairs. (He is getting better!! He started driver’s training & should be able to take the test soon.)
In addition to our grand adventure, the kids have all spent a lot of time playing basketball. We pondered giving the kids a hoop for Christmas but skiied instead. One day while I was driving home early on a Saturday morning, I noticed that our neighbors had their hoop for sale for $50!!! I said, “We’ll take it!” I had to set time limits because they like to play so much. ( 9a – 9p) The kids also play baseball in the backyard, darts in the basement, & chess & Risk. Chris & Ryan were even able to go paintballing last week with a bunch of kids from church & school.

Oh friend I miss you so! I'd love to drive cross state lines with you, when you going next?
