Spring Break!!!

Well.... Mark & I took off the whole entire week of spring break for a family vacation... we had so many fun activities planned...boys went their own way a couple of days, and we, the girls, went our way too!!! First thing I did was paint fingers & toes, and give everyone haircuts; Sofie wanted 12 inches off of hers (that was hard for me), and V got her little swing-bob that fits her so well. Later that day I took my girls to the movies, Madi brought a friend, and we went to eat at Yesterday's Texas for their famous Babbaloo Fries. Mark took the boys to Main Event, the movies one day, Academy Sports for paint-ball guns and gear. We all met up at the hotel, checked into our two rooms and hung out in our in-room jacuzzis. Then we all got dressed and took the shuttle to Razzoo's. Chance had his first taste of raw oysters, he actually ate three! Madi, me and Mark had some too! Everyone except for Wyatt had sea-food; Chance had alligator tails and craw-fish, the rest of us had crab-legs; the little girls are finally big enough to figure out how to get the meat out; nice for me!! After dinner we walked over to Marble Slab Creamery for ice cream cones, lots of silliness, and some cute pictures. The next day the girls went to the Galleria Mall, we followed Madi around for a few hours while she shopped, then we had some sushi for a snack, shopped some more, ate dinner at Mi Cocina, then finally ended up at the skating rink for three hours of skating. We got home around ten o'clock that evening and the boys were packing for their 4-wheeling trip to Bulcher on Friday. They each had their own 4-wheeler to ride, so they had alot of fun on the trails. Mark & I decided to never, ever, ever take an entire weeks vacation with all of our kids again; it's a great idea in theory, but it's way to hard to please everyone all the time, and it was a lot of stress for us, and not much relaxation (and that's what we needed)!!! But all in all, it was fun, and we are glad we did it...and it was good for the kids to experience the BIG CITY!!! I'm ready to go back to work Monday, to get some rest!! ~wink~wink~
Next year, we are taking a cruise (ALL BY OURSELVES) aren't we selfish??
