Spring Break 2009

I survived, the end.  Ok, it was better than that…

If I was honest I think I would have to say last week was the most relaxed and enjoyable Spring Break, but don’t tell hubby K? He may say “I told you so” with the fact he said it would be easier.

What made it easier was Spring Break Basketball Camp.  They slept in and then in the afternoon enjoyed camp from 3 to 7:30 each day.  They were successfully worn out by the end of the day.  We all had the best of both worlds, they played and I enjoyed peace and quiet.

If they were not playing basketball during camp then they were playing here at home. Like fish to water, so are my boys and basketball. It does not matter if it is rain or shine and since we live in Florida sometimes it is more rain.

All three boys performed well during camp, the coach called them the “3pt Trio.” My oldest actually won the free throw challenge. I was the obnoxious Mom cheering them on.

Our week ended by me and my two older boys watching The Passion of Christ on Good Friday. They had not been allowed to see it before. It was not an easy movie to watch and I think it affected my middle child more (the one who usually shows little emotion), but they were both happy they decided to watch the movie. Manly Man and my youngest stayed back to enjoy some quality time.

It was a good week.  One little secret I did not realize until I was a parent, is parents develop spring fever after Spring Break also.  I am looking forward to summer, but saying goodbye to elementary school forever this year has my heart breaking also.

Sorry Mom I did not believe you before, but I do now.  They grow to fast.
