For some crazy reason, the school thought that a week and a half was sufficient time off. UM, NO. This is an insane amount of time off for a 5 year old. Not only did I have a parent/ teacher conference during that time, but a doctor's appointment fur the little sugar bean (Which we find out the sex of on Friday!!) but the rest of the time we filled with things like Monkey's first eye appointment. Boring, I know, but it was unintentional that it happened during break. On the plus side, while slightly near-sided he doesn't need glasses YET. He will within another couple years, when it's reasonable that he would keep them on his face.
He spent a lot of time with his friend, hanging out and going on adventures, like to various parks, on a hike, to the "castle" (Rocky Butte Park) and went to great-grandma's to help her plant flowers. Other fun we had was have a tie dye party with a friend where we all tie dyed shirts and socks. Surprisingly socks turned out way cooler than I thought they would. That's monkey rocking one of his new shirts. His teachers all thought it was way cool. He loves to tie dye. It's one of the few projects that he can help do for the shop.
I got a new embroidery machine over spring break. It was bribery because hubby wanted a new TV and I totally don't even care. He almost choked when he found out that some embroidery machines cost as much as a car. The one that I got was NOT that expensive, it was actually one of the cheaper models since I have no idea how to use it. I can upgrade whenever I want though, and at a severe discount, so that's nice. I will likely want to upgrade but I don't want to do it on a machine I don't even know how to use. This will come in handy since I just signed up for a spring bazaar at the end of April. I only realized the other day that half of my stuff can go so I need to sew like crazy this month to have enough to take with because a lot of my stuff is holiday related and won't likely sell this time of year. So I need summer stuff! Embroidery is going to be a quick filler for things as well.
Moose had his first Easter over spring break. He didn't really understand the idea of looking for Easter eggs, but he did figure out that he LOVES M&M's. He gets really excited any time you bring out the bag for any reason. He makes all kinds of funny faces and noises to get a candy. He's even working on his "please" and "thank you" which come out as "peas" and "tent too." His first Easter meal he LOVED. He tried and loved everything- mashed potatoes and gravy, asparagus, ham, salad, rolls, he even liked the Marion berry pie and ice cream. He painted himself with mashed potatoes. Grandma had to give him a bath afterwards because he was just a huge mess.
Lastly, during our spring break, Moose learned to run. He thinks it's hilarious to take something he knows he's not supposed to have, like daddy's phone, and run away. While running the other day in the kitchen, he tripped and fell. He smashed his face right on the corner of the high chair and blistered his eye. He cut open the under eyelid and so, of course, it's bruising and has become a black eye. He's a tough kid though. As soon as I turned on Sesame Street, the tears went away. That boy loves Sesame Street.
That was out spring break. On paper it doesn't sound like nearly as much as it was. It rained like crazy over break so it felt like we were trapped inside a lot. This Friday is the beginning of the A-Z challenge. Hopefully this is the year that I make it through! I need to plan my posts. Wish me luck, you'll be seeing a lot of me soon.
