March Break is over and everyone is back to school, back to work, back to regular routines. This morning was a little bit of a challenge - trying to convince the kiddies that going back to school was going to be fun! Seeing their friends again, celebrating spring tomorrow and getting ready for Easter. They didn't quite go for it...instead they marched out the door complaining, trying to come convince us that they should be allowed to stay home one more day.
I was actually a little relieved when I realized how much our kids enjoyed the break. We had so many friends who were going out of town on vacation and that left me feeling a little worried our kids would be bored...but au contraire! We had such a great 9 days. I was actually sad to see the kids and my hubby head back to school and work today. Made me wish summer could arrive a little sooner.
Some of the things we enjoyed over the break included:
- Bowling with all the grandparents
- 2 Birthday celebrations
- Hockey Skills Camp for Hudson (1 hour each day)
- Gymnastics Camp for Georgia (a few half days with one of her besties)
- Dusting off the bikes
- Several hot tub sessions (who needs a bath??)
- Dinner with friends
- Our first trip to CHUCKE CHEESE'S
- A St. Patty's day celebration at home
- And we finally finished Georgia's bedroom! I mean really finished it. We moved over 3 years ago but never took the time to decorate any of our bedrooms, except for the nursery. It was time and it was actually a lot of fun. Georgia was so excited to be a part of the process - I don't think she would have had it any other way. We tried to incorporate everything...her artwork, mommy's paintings, gifts from friends, pictures and all her favourite toys - and I'm pretty sure we were successful.
Here's her "new" room:

| 3 years in the making -ha! |

| The license plate was a gift from a friend after Georgia was born and here's the crazy thing: we left for the hospital at exactly 8:09pm the night Georgia was born...how weird is that? |
The next bedroom we conquer will be Hudson's and Jack's! Right after our trip to Great Wolf Lodge in a few weeks! We promised the kids we would plan a little family vacay after the break...and now it's official. The countdown is on!
Have a great week!
On a side note: Our neighbour who reads all my blogs before I post them is coming home tomorrow from her 2 month vacation and I can't wait to see her...we've missed having both her and her hubby around. And I've really missed having someone proofread all my blogs. Spelling is definitely not my area of expertise -ha!
