Spring Break 2010

Last week Jared had his Spring Break. I have started thinking that this college thing might not be so bad, we get every possible holiday off, spring break, a break between semesters, and huge christmas break, and almost a whole month off in August.

Anyhow, it started with Jared and Xander sleeping in the tent. Sleeping in the tent is one thing Xander LOVES to do. It was too cold to go outside, so they slept in the basement. They stayed up all night playing DS and eating donuts (they even woke up around 4 am cuz they had to pee, went back down and played more DS before going back to sleep). They did this for 2 nights.


One of the days we went on a picnic lunch to the park. We rode our bikes there. Xander took this picture of Jared and I.

Then I took one of xander:

Then Xander took one of Cordie (we were dog sitting her while Leisa and fam went to California.)

On St. Patty's day Jared made us a traditional corn beef dinner (thank heavens he didn't dye it green).


We made Root Beer (since st. patty's is a drinking holiday and root beer is our beer of choice)


And Jared snuck the fat pieces of the meat to Cordie (don't tell)

Here is how the corned beef sandwiches turned out:


It was a fun week. We also went bowling, and went to IKEA. It was a great week!

Yummm, Corned beef and root beer! I LOVE that dinner. how fun that Jared and Xander have been having sleep overs in the tent downstairs. Isn't the weather outside getting SOOOO nice, I know it still has it's crappy days but I LOVE the warmer weather. Serena and I have been loving going on outings to the park and I can't seem to get enough of being outside.
