Winter Break

As Spring Break approached and we made plans to visit the family in Salt Lake, I envisioned us having a picnic at the park, hiking in the mountains, and walking around downtown. I even packed shorts and flip-flops for everyone and we only brought our light jackets. Boy was I living in fantasy world! It's dumping snow as I write this, but we've still managed to have some fun.

• The boys have been obsessed with playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii, which normally I'd limit more, but they're playing with their dad, so it also counts as "quality" father-son time.
• The girls and I have done some shopping. It was so windy as we left the store that Brooklyn's dolly blanket (which I shouldn't have let her bring) blew away. We spent several minutes driving around the parking lot until we found it run over and dirty, but found nonetheless.
• We went to Thanksgiving Point and the Treehouse Museum, both of which the kids loved. We'll go to Sweets Candy Factory tomorrow. Hooray for chocolate cinnamon bears!
• My mom and I went to the General Relief Society training at the Tabernacle today. I took Reagan, which made things interesting. I got locked inside the Cry Room on three different occasions and had to knock on the door to get out. Do you think they were sending me a message? Really though, it was an amazing meeting and I was glad to have gone.
• Thankfully there is an indoor swimming pool that we can go to. Then we can still pretend that it's getting warm and that it really is Spring!
