Spring Break....

This was Riley's first real Spring Break.......


And boy was it a busy one. Monday we did laundry and hung out at the house. Before running errands in the afternoon to get ready for Tuesday.


Tuesday ~Riley was invited to a friends house and since she also has little brothers we all went and had a little Saint Patrick's day party. Last min I made some cookies I had planned on making with just my kiddos. And took them to let the kids frost them. But mostly the kids just had fun. I forgot my camera so Anna if you have any pic's you could send me that would be awesome!

Wednesday~ what was Wednesday... We meet friends at the park for a picnic. Then went fruit and veggie shopping with more friends. Then came home really fast and went to the YMCA.

Thursday~ We just couldn't see it happening any other day and we where sad no one could make it with us but we headed down to the San Antonio Zoo. We heard from a friend that there was a water park there for the kids so we made sure to bring our suits. Wow was it fun. And we are so happy to have gotten a year zoo pass as I can see just going down there for a couple of hours here and there. Lots of fun. Then we got home and had two new friends come over and play. It was so fun to see Hyde playing with kiddos his age.

Friday~ We headed out with the twins (our new friends) to the Austin Zoo... What a different zoo. I would recommend going with only kids that walk as the path ways are dirt. Not so fun pushing a double stroller up and down hills with a 5 yr old and 2 yr old in it. But the animals where sooo close. And it is not to far away. It was a great morning activity.

A tutorial of sorts........

How to make fruit roll ups...


Find ripe strawberries a lot of them. And a few helpful kiddos. Wash and cut strawberries. Put into blender until smooth adding alittle apple juice to blend. Then taste...... need something then add alittle honey or sugar whatever you like. next line baking sheets with saran wrap. Pour strawberry mix onto sheet with antsy kids underfoot dont' drop it. And only just to coat the pan. About 1 to 2 cups. Then turn oven on to lowest temp. And bake for atleast 6 -8 hrs. or overnight. Making the hungry kids go to bed with out any. Next morning it will be ready to eat. And it wont be there for long once you taste it. YUMMY!!!
