Spring Break

Even though we're homeschoolers- we take Spring Break!  We headed to Charleston to visit cousins and Mike and I were AS excited as the kids to get away- maybe even more!  Leading up to Spring Break we each had the CRAZIEST week.  So crazy- driving in the car with a just about 2 year old for 8 hours and leaving the house with three kids by 5 a.m. sounded like a vacation.  THAT'S crazy.  

The drive TO Charleston was uneventful.  Kids slept for a couple of hours, we stopped at Craker Barrel for breakfast (or crackel barrel if you're Andrew).  Kids read, watched a movie, played ds, and asked where we were about 200 times.  They saw their cousins and picked up where they left off a month ago.  It was lovely to see.  We had Easter the next day and Aunt Petra spoiled the kids rotten.  There was about 12 pounds of candy to be found in the house and I have to say my kids were TERRIBLE candy finders.  We left with almost NO chocolate.  They need candy finding boot camp!

Skylanders for Easter?!?  SCORE

We took a trip to Chuck E. Cheese to add some culture and class to our  trip.  

We went to a really cool park under a bridge.  It was pretty breezy and lovely.  Scott was pretty tired  by this point in the day but we kept playing.  Poor third child.  

Scary!

Isabelle helping Scotty over this spider web thing at the park .  She is just so sweet to Scotty.  Scott says her name too although when he says it is "Dim-bell."

It's so great to have cousins!

It was a serious treat to have some family time!  No work!  No papers due!  No mountain of laundry or pile of papers .  It was a needed  break from this awesome crazy life we have!

Totally awkward family photo....hilarious.  

One more playground before we go!

LOVE this picture- what sweet little faced children we have.  

We left 3 days before this big boy turned 2!
