1 Mother 2 Another

As of 3:05 p.m. today, spring break is
officially here!


No, we’re not going anywhere – we’re once again
setting up our “staycation” poster and livin’
large right here in our pad. I’ve got a staycation
posterboard with something fun written on each day: Half Price
Books Day, Pajama Day, Zoo Day, that sort of thing. Then I’ve
got a cutout star I laminated (I know, it’s a disease) that
has Velcro on the back, and the girls take turns moving the star
from day to day. I’ll put the poster up on the wall before
Maddie comes home from school tomorrow and STAYCATION 2012 will
officially begin!


Don’t be quick to dismiss this – the girls have been
speculating what will be on the poster for over a week, debating
and wishing their little hearts out. My favorite day I’ve got
planned is Pajama Day: I make a big pallet of pillows in the living
room for a movie marathon, and I have plans to set up the
girls’ Thomas train set – currently packed away –
in the library, while turning the kitchen area into an art room. It
will be spectacular, I tell you.


As much as the kids are looking forward to this, though, I am
chomping at the bit even more. Can’t wait to have my babies
around for an entire week of FUN!


Do not get in my way at 2:55 this afternoon. It’s jail break
time.
