This morning is the official spring break kick off. We woke up to snow and the misses had to jump in the car and drive to the airport to pick up her Idaho friends who left their car at our house over the weekend. Once again the boys enjoyed “room service” while my love and I watched a movie. Happily she has the next 4 days off and doesn’t work again until Friday. We planned it this way with the boys out of school all week.
Yesterday the boys and I ran to REI to use our annual dividend to get the youngest a new pair of shoes. After using that and a 20% discount coupon I had, his shoes ended up costing us $2.53! I had to buy him a size 2 as they don’t come in half sizes and the 1 was too small. They way he’s growing they’ll fit perfectly in about a week or so. After that we played outside a bit and then anxiously awaited the arrival of Mom from work. She made a great shrimp, cilantro, jalapeno saute over brown rice, it was really really good!
We might try to take the boys to a movie later today although the misses and I really want to see True Grit. We vowed to go December 22nd when it was released and still haven’t made it. Our close friends in  Seattle saw it Saturday night and said it was great! If I haven’t told you before, John Wayne is one of my heros, and even though this is a remake with Jeff Bridges, I still really want to see it.
Mom’s a little tired today as she worked hard yesterday and we didn’t get enough sleep since we stayed up to watch our movie. I’m going to try to give her some time to take a nap today as she deserves it. Time to run as I need to take the youngest to the store to buy his brother an Easter present. He’s been begging to go for days and even though Easters a month away, we promised him.
Later today we will be doing the drawing for the Grand Prize from all of you who posted comments. Stay tuned for the official announcement of the winner and the prize in tomorrow’s blog.
Have a good day and God bless everyone.
