I'm not supposed to be here but I couldn't resist!!

Ok so it was a lot harder than I thought it would be to stay away. That's sad huh?!?! Anyhow I did manage to only sneak to a few blogs late at night while the kiddos were sleeping or times where they were playing with friends. I suppose I should stop saying "playing" when it comes to my son.

He'll be 12 this summer and headed for Junior High next school year- sniff. 

Anyhow, so far this week we've gone for a walk and admired the beauty....

Swam a bit...

Even this guy...

Took a turn in the pool

Ace LOVEs the water!

  In addition to the fun family time I've also been doing a LOT of this,

Which has left my hands in desperate need of a manicure

  We also started mandatory family meditation time. Might sound strange to some but it's really calming. Those of you with kids who get all jacked up when Dad gets home, this works wonders for settling everyone down. We all sit together in silence for 5 minutes,  doesn't sound like much but it is. We just breath deep and clear our minds. Our goal is to add to the 5 minutes gradually and who knows how long we'll end up silently enjoying each others company??

It was my sons room at our old home. I painted the tree on the wall. My first time painting anything! I never did finish the top of the tree but later I did have him paint his name on the middle of it like it was carved into the tree. I had him stand next to it they day we moved out and I took one last photo. Can't seem to find it right now but I'll keep hunting and post it when I do!

           Alright back to Spring Break Madness!!
