First, spring has been teasing us just a little bit here in central Iowa but we are not complaining. We have thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine and the warmer temps. Last week, we both had scheduled the week off work originally so that we could go to Texas to visit Jon and Nicholle and the kids. We don't get to see them nearly as much as we would like to but they decided to come to Iowa and visit the whole family during the kids' spring break instead. So, we got to see them the first weekend of March here in Iowa instead. As it turns out, we were having better weather here than they had been having back home anyway so it all worked out pretty well.

After they left to head back home we spent our week off here at home just chillin' and enjoying the sunshine. We slept in. We took Jack for walks. We ran errands. (One of those was to return all of the pop bottles we have collected this winter. We ended up with ...... drum roll please..... $24 worth of cans and bottles!) We caught up on our DVR shows. We watched a couple of movies. Kevin did some homework. It was just a nice, quiet, relaxing week.
As that weekend came to an end we celebrated my brother's birthday with our dad. As we get older our ideas of 'fun' are really changing. We went out for lunch, came back to our house to watch movies, got some ice cream in the evening and then did it again the next day.
Wherever you are we hope that spring finds you soon!
Edited to add: I should note that the $24 worth of soda cans and bottles were given to us by friends and family. We use them to help cover our adoptions expenses.
