Spring Break

This week we are off for spring break. I have to admit I am very nervous about how I am going to entertain them this week and if I can make it through with my sanity. I have been searching and decided on a craft for every day. Some of them are just cute spring crafts, but I also found some great things for preparing for Easter. They are like little sponges when it comes to anything with the gospel, so I am finding this part of the week’s activities exciting, it is a real opportunity to share what is so important to me. I love Easter and the feeling of hope and peace it brings.

So I made a makeshift calendar for the next two weeks, planning each day of spring break and the week to countdown and celebrate Easter. I went shopping with a huge list to buy everything I needed. I spent over $100, and when Kelly’s mouth dropped at that news all I said was. “It is about my sanity” and miraculously he was perfectly fine with it.

Actually, he is truly amazing at how he supports me.

I also revised the chore charts to add some reading time, and spring cleaning acitivites for the week. To help keep some sort of routine so that after spring break we are still on track.

Today’s craft was from the Friend magazine and it is to celebrate Spring. We made jelly bean butterflies.
