This past week the kids have been home on Spring Break. My husband and I, oldsters that we are, frequently comment (disapprovingly) to one another that when WE were in school we had no such thing as Spring Break, Winter Break, Fall Break, or half the other days off and early release days they have now-a-days. Christmas break, yes, and Good Friday+Easter Monday, President’s Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday… Can’t think of anything else though.
Well, snow days. We did have a few those. NOT many though!
But I digress.
My children have been running amok all week, but Thursday as soon as he finished work, Paul loaded up Efrain, Lyss and Ruben in Tom-Truck and headed north for some fun on the rumbly roads, while I stayed home with Jacob to mind Natalie, Xavier, Jordan and Ellie. It turned out to be a great couple of days on both ends. The littles got to bury themselves in sand and ride in the back of Tom-Truck all over the ranch and eat marshmallow sandwiches. The bigs (and Ellie) and I enjoyed some bonding time (and lots of screens), and both Natalie and Xavier got to go have a little fun. Natalie joined a friend for a movie this afternoon, and Xavier got to spend the day hanging out with Geneva, which likely involved coffee at Dutch Bro’s and visiting comic book stores…
Anyway, Paul brought home pics from his Pixel Phone, I grabbed them and fiddled around with them until they no longer resemble anything in the natural world, and here they are. (I kid – there are only a couple that ended up with some crazy vignetting, but that was mostly coming from the Pixel phone. I just popped the colors!)
