Spring Break 2017: Part 1

This years' spring break is off to a fun start, despite the fact that 2 of the 3 days we awoke to snow covering the ground.  The worst part is that it wasn't really enough to play in!  We started our Saturday like most others; Fletcher had swim lessons, and we had a few things to get done around the house.  By lunch time though, we were downtown at the St. Patrick's Day parade.  We braved snow and freezing temperatures, but in the end, we had a great time.  Fletcher even managed to take a nap amidst the noise and crowds. 

Sunday brought with it daylight savings time.  So, after a slow start and going to church, we came home and hunkered down for some quality Lego time.  We made a lot of progress with organizing the hoards of Legos all over our house, which started by moving them all to the basement.  We now have 6 binders full of Lego building instructions from all of the sets we have too!  Barrett had one new set he hadn't put together yet, so he was really excited for that. 

Monday brought more snow, but by the time we got up and ready to go, it had turned to rain.  So, instead of playing outside, we decided to have a pajama day at home.  We played Xbox Kinect sports, MarioKart on Wii, played with more Legos, and even made chocolate chip cookies.  On the whole, I'd say it was a pretty successful Jammie/Snow day at home.

All in all, Spring Break 2017 is off to a pretty awesome start.  I can't wait to see what the next 6 days bring!
