Nowadays many people go on big vacations and or cruises for spring break. After reading about a new decadent dessert I realized we could do that at home. So Addie bought the supplies and we made lava cakes for 12 on Friday night. Andrea and Merle were very sad I wouldn't let them just eat the melted chocolate. But they were happy with the results when baked.
Livy and Millie participated in a play with their mutual girl group. The generous leaded provided flowers for all the girls. They brightened our table for a few days.
Much of our spring break was reading. We read a lot! It makes me happy and makes my heart happy that the kids love to escape into the pages of books to go on adventures, learn new thoughts, and live in different times pages at a time.
Addie lets the little kids comb her hair. She is patient with them generally and they adore her. She was working on her college class that is almost complete. Although she has learned a lot she will be thankful to have it finished.
The saga of spring break was the washing machine or lack there of. I had two. Neither hekld water. Somehow the seal got torn badly on the replacement. And the top of the line super expensive speed queen waiting to be put back into service leaked water like a fully turned on hose! Knowing how long it takes to repair the speed queen I needed another washer. So I bought this. Only to find it also has poor reviews. Once Mark got it leveled it has washed the many loads that had piled up in the week waiting for a solution.
And the thing that makes me happy everyday watching these seedlings grow more and more leaves. These basil leaves are pretty big for the slender stems. I'm not sure how viable they will be for the entire year.
But these Roma tomatoes are looking so good! It is a delight to watch them bend toward the sun and then turn the tray around and watch them move the other direction.
I'm thankful for life all around. For time to dream, learn, and relax. We worked on catching up over spring break. Mostly catching up on some peace and personal care. The boys of course worked rolling wire and farming, we cooked, we cleaned, etc but we mostly just rested and replenished hopefully enough to be strong in our final months of school. We are very blessed life is good.
