First half of Spring Break!

For the first time in a long time, we stayed home for Spring Break. This means that I get to go and play for one whole week, as long as I am home to fix dinner and do the daily laundry. Blah! Anyway Monday was our first official day of Spring Break and Riley wakes me up at 5:30 with Mommy, I threw up in my bed! Up to throw the sheets in the washer and have Riley crawl in our bed. Unfortunately all of Monday was spent with a sick little boy. He ended up sleeping 18 out of the 24 hours on Monday. Poor little guy!
Tuesday was appointment day. I met my parents at their new house to drop off the kids, while I went to have my legs waxed. This is kind of like a right of Spring to have this done. I'll admit I am a little addicted. I love NOT shaving. Then I met everyone for a quick lunch at McAlister's. I LOVE their sweet tea. Then I went to my next appt, my regular dr, while the kids and my parents went to Chuck E Cheese to play. At the dr he determined:
1. I am not anemic. Just tired from keeping up with 2 kids, 2 dogs, a husband that is never home between work and paintball, and working full time.
2. Apparantly I just need to stretch my back. Another dr with an opinion and NO x-rays!
3. I have ringworm! GROSS!
Wednesday was a real play day. We drove out to the Arboretum in Dallas. It was beautiful. It had been several years since I had been able to go with mom, dad, and the kids. But my perfectionist came out and I got frustrated. I don't think I will ever get the perfect picture. All I want is both kids smiling, with dimples showing, and looking at the camera. Is that too much to ask for??? Yes! Because we took 260 pictures on Wednesday. I deleted them down to 67, but the perfect shot still does not exist! Here are some of my favs throughout the day....
