Spring Break 09



We officially started our Spring Break, for FHE tonight we had a planning meeting. Everyone got 3 pieces of paper to write 3 ideas onto. We then read them a loud and voted on which ones we were going to do for our week off. I failed to mention the "terms". Which resulted in Jessica's choices being, go to Hawaii (spelt Hywi), ride a hot air ballon, and go camping. Logan's was ride an airplane... so after we brought them back to reality that it had to be in Wenatchee and mostly free, we continued...


This is what we came up with...

1. Play tennis
2. Go bike riding and have a picnic
3. Have a Mario Cart Tournament
4. Have a family rest day (stay in jammies and lounge around) I like this one...
5. Go bowling
6. Read books, finish Leven Thumps (good book)
7. Flash Light Tag
8. Have friends over
9. Go skiing
10. Build a fort and sleep in it.
11. Go get ice cream.

I think we can manage it...I was surprised at how simplistic they were (once we ruled out the trips around the world). Really they just like being all together....we also promised each night before bed we would play "fee fi fo fum." It is a game we made up a couple of years ago where we sing "fee fi fo fum, I am going to get the little one" and we chase them to bed. But now they are older we altered it a little. Mom and Dad each got a Nerf gun with one bullet and we had to shoot the kids and if they are hit they have to go to bed...it is actually harder than it sounds, they are fast little boogers...
