Spring Break

This week was spring break.  We didn't go any where and the weather was not very nice, so a lot of time was spent watching t.v. or doing crafts inside (other than a couple trips out to a museum and some indoor play areas.)  One morning we woke up (an hour later than the kids, most likely) and found that d & j had gathered all their "babies" to watch morning t.v.  They are not normally allowed to watch t.v. on weekday mornings, before school, so this must have been an exciting morning for them.
I should also say how great it is that they get up on their own, get something to eat, and entertain themselves until we wake up.  Yeaaa for big kids!

Jamie ended up in a time-out at some point this week.  Not unusual for her.  What is unusual is that she hunched over in a doorway like a turtle, and a few minutes later she fell asleep.  She was snoring and everything.  Who does that?

A2 Hands-On Museum

Today Dawson, Jamie and I went to the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum with my friend Mary Lou and her kids Collin and Matthew.

As with most places like this, Dawson loved everything and could have stayed for many, many hours figuring things out. 
Jamie, on the other hand, kept interested for a little while, but became bored pretty quickly and lost interest in all the science.  (I can relate.)

A Dawson Original

Dawson made this huge poster for fun.
It is almost 6 ft. long and completely colored in. 
We are amazed at how long he sticks with his crafts, to complete them,
and the amount detail he puts in.

Spring 'Do

Jamie got her hairs cut today...

Our Love/Hate Relationship: Michigan Weather



From 30 degrees to 80 degrees, in 24 hours. 
I think everyone went a little nuts outside today,
 after waiting six months for some weather like this!
