stay & play...

last week we were off, monkey & i, from school & work…spring break! i felt so fortunate to have the time to take off & focus just on us. i also thought that i would have lots of down time to write. *insert giggle to myself…yea, not so much. but no worries, i learned how to stay-cation like a 7 year old. breezy, refreshing, & fun.

on day one, we got our chick babies. (yeee) it is amazing how much fun just taking care of them & watching them play was. but between this new venture, we also found other ways to entertain ourselves.

here are some highlights of our stress-free week. follow these simple steps & you too, can take a break from reality like a kid!

-stay in jammies as long as you can

-find a park &/or a playground

-ice cream on sunny days

-color

-bug catchers supply hours of exploration

-blow bubbles every chance you get

-watch silly videos

-dance party!

-laugh out loud & often

-visit the local bouncey house mega plex & play til you drop

-plan play dates to the zoo

-eat brownies for breakfast

-paint a birdhouse

-build a blanket & pillow fort

-set up a concession table at your grammy’s yard sale

-share jokes off of laffy taffys & popsicle sticks

might not sound like much, but we had a blast. & wonderful memories were made…which i would say is probably the most important thing!

so, we’re back to the old routine today, as we say so long to spring break. it’s definitely bittersweet, but it’s nice to get back into a swing of schedules & a bit of organization. plus, the fact that summer vacay is only 2 months away doesn’t hurt either!
