Spring Break 2011

Please do not ever say the word "staycation".  I hate am not fond of the term or the idea.  But nonetheless - we had a lot of fun (I guess you could call it) at home this past week.

The weekend started out with Ella's gymnastics meet, where she did wonderful as always!

We had lots of sleepovers.... well not me, but the kids!  Which I have no pics of.

Then in the middle of the week, the girls got invited over to their friend Chandler's for some "stunting".   Y'ALL! That's what we do here in Texas! haha!

GOOD GRACIOUS!  Ellison will do ANYTHING they tell her to! Scary! I don't even know what that is!

And then.... I bought some playdoh....which unexpectedly brought hours of entertainment.  who knew?

But this is the real reason.... I bought the playdoh??.... I got the idea from my friend Brittany.... we had a cake boss war... Boys vs. Girls.  The kids could not wait to do this!  You should totally try it!

We divided up the teams.... and the playdoh..... and set the timer for 30 minutes.  On your mark, get set, GO!

TADA - HERE'S THE BOYS!

 AND TADA - HERE'S THE GIRLS!!!  

you must look carefully at all the details...

because as Buddy from Carlos' Bakery says, "the more details, the better!"

There are LOTS of pictures because... well, I was on that team, and I don't want you to miss a single thing that we created!

Awweee - sweet Little Man over in Ethiopia! love!

The Gladney orphanage with little baby orphans inside! It's getting dilapidated... so y'all better go adopt some orphans! There's 5 million just in Ethiopia- of course it might take you 10 years to adopt one! lol!

Water wells with jerry cans.  And people carrying jerry cans on their back.

Elephants and Zebras

Then we texted pics of each creation and to a few friends and family members and had them vote on which was the best.  I think the girls won!  Woohoo!

We also made several trips to our new favorite yogurt place over the week... Yumilicious! Family yogurt break!

Good bye Spring Break!  Can't wait for summer now!
