You kids looked like they had such a good time! All the children where getting that brilliant blue ice cream. We usually go with friends that have children but since Tom had to work we just went ourselves. Definitely miss the child's perspective. Will need to borrow some next year :)

As I was looking at all these wonderful pics, I was thinking, "Her kids always look so happy!" and then I got to that last one and I had to giggle. I guess even happy kids are entitled to a tired tantrum every once in awhile!!!

I gave my daughter a box of those Valentine’s candy hearts to eat and every time she crunches down on one it is like a spear going through my head.  Next time, remember to go for the softer ones.  I hate noise. Hate it.  Like Jeckyll and Hyde hate it. I hate crunching, chewing, snapping, typing, clicking, clacking, humming, popping, sucking, clipping, clicking, tapping.  I have an intense fear of being stuck in an elevator with a bunch of people snapping gum. Or eating popcorn. Or typing on keyboards. Or clipping nails.  Oh, the torture! I was thrilled when I saw an article in Time Magazine recently that indicated I was not alone.

The kids and I decided to spend spring break at my mom's, which is on a good day about a 4 hour drive from my neck of the state.  This is convenient because all of my other family and many friends live in the area as well.  Battle Ground, Vancouver, Camas, Portland. We have been Pacific Northwest-world travelers for sure.  And what a fun time we have had.  I am so glad I decided to brave a week alone with the kids. They have been super troopers, moving with me from place to place, visit to visit.  The weather quite frankly sucked (it was even trying to SNOW today!).  But the company was fabulous so I will not complain for another moment. The only thing I did not accomplish this week was blog reading.  We come home Friday.  I am SURE daddy has ...
