Photo Shoot and Peanuts

Well it is the first day of Spring and it is a beautiful day! I am LOVING this warm weather! It just makes me a very happy person!
The boys knew that we would be working for Spring Break and they were okay with it as long as we had some fun too. Today I had a photo shoot on Morris Ave. It was for Senior pictures and they were gorgeous! Stay tuned for more on this shoot at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ I will be updating that blog soon. I just need some more time to get it all done.
After the photo shoot I took the boys to The Peanut Depot. We bought some peanuts, which are SO good. They watched them make some and we are going to try to get something together for the Cub Scouts to head down there this summer. It should be a lot of fun and I cannot wait. We will see what happens.
We decided to go to Subway for lunch, John Michael shocked me and ate all of his 6" usually he just eats a little.

We had to stop for gas on our way home and while we were pumping Santa pulled up. It was awesome and the boys days were made complete! This they should be talking about for days! They were even given cards from him. It was perfect!!!
It was a great day and even though we are not taking a great vacation I hope that the boys are enjoying their Spring Break. I am enjoying the time with them!

First Day of Spring!!!

Well, the night before school goes back into session after Spring Break is also the first day of Spring. Something off in that equation, but what can you do? Anyway, at least it was a gorgeous week and we all return to real life tomorrow. The boys were out of school and I decided I was not going to clean, well minimal cleaning. The kitchens and the bathrooms and laundry can never be avoided, even when on vacation. Oh well. Tomorrow I will take the boys to school, hopefully we will not be late, then I have a few errands to run, then home to clean and get my act back in gear. Watch the post tomorrow night to see how that plays out.

I am most worried about the running late, it is 10 and the boys have just now fallen asleep. I am tired, and know I need to go to bed, but my mind is in overdrive. I have so much to edit, and so many ideas that I want to pan out. We shall see.

The store was on the agenda today so that I could get some spray for the wasps. I also plan to take back over my back deck this week, I love the sun and plan to be in it as much as possible this spring and summer. I am also ready for the beach and the lake. I do not think it is possible to spend too much time at either place. Maybe one day I will have the money to permanently reside at one of the two places or at least visit the beach more often. Really hoping for a trip to the beach just the four of us this year, but definitely need some jobs lined up.

I hope that everyone has a great night, I will be headed to bed shortly, but not sure where sleep falls into that category. Hopefully soon. Before I go to bed I will as always say a special prayer for all of my friends and family. I have a special request for my mother-in-law, who just needs to know what she means to all of us and how amazing we think that she is. Well, we know that she is.

The pictures from today are the boys making bouncy balls...they love this kit! I have already bought a few more for Christmas presents for others so watch out!!! Most of today has been about getting ready for tomorrow and working on the pictures that I have to get edited and the video that Brandon has to get ready! It was a great day though!
