Spring Break

Camden had a week off from school. This is how we kept busy.

Day One: Hogel Zoo with our friends Koen, Kai & Joann.





(the rhino is hiding behind these five animals)




Day Two: Pouring rain all day...fun art projects inside.



Day Three: Fun in the 6" of snow.




Day Six: For the first time in my life, I bought one of these:


to go along with my new...
DISHWASHER!!!

Thank you SO MUCH to my brother-in-law Rad and Luke for spending all day dismantiling, installing and "macgyver-ing." I just got an extra hour added to my day!

congrats on the dishwasher. Bit of advice...liquid dishwasher soap is gross. It leaves bits of left overs on your glasses. Always buy the powdered stuff.

Whoo, Hoo!!! Happy dishwashing! Now that's a diverse spring break! Look's like a lot of fun, though.

A dishwasher!!!!!!! I'm SO happy you got one. You will love it. Unloading is always my boy's before school chore. Enjoy! Wasn't the snow crazy? We would have liked to play outside, but Cam had just finished leveling the dirt so we can put in our sprinklers and grass, so it was literally a mud hole.

I love Hogle Zoo. A dishwasher will make your life easier. Ours broke once and it took about 10 days to get the part. I about died having to wash every plate and spoon and fork. We started eating on paper! :)

I'm behind the times. Forgot to look here. But what a great week you had. I'm SO happy for you to have a dishwasher. I remember the feeling when I finally got one. You appreciate it a lot more than if you always had one. But all the 'big' kids (and Kimberly, too?) remember standing on a chair to do the breakfast dishes.
