We May Not Have It All Together, But Together We have It All!: Spring Break 2010

So this spring break was something, 2 weeks before the kids had there spring break James finally got a job. It is something he has never done before and it is on third shift. So we are thankful he has a job right now, but there are many things that could be a little better about the job. But i thank God for providing it for us and we just hope that sometime soon, that he will open a new door to another job, where it will be on first shift with some medical benefits. But until then James just keeps on trying to adjust to being on third and we thank God everyday for the job.
So that being said, our plans for spring break changed slightly, instead of all of us going to the Air zoo in Kalamazoo, Michigan it was just me and the kids. Friends of ours went there also so that was nice to have people there with me. We went up Monday afternoon and stayed at a hotel, the kids had fun swimming and playing. Then Tuesday morning we went to the Air zoo. The kids had a blast they loved looking at everything and riding all the rides. They all agreed we needed to go back up this summer and take James with us. So that is one of our summer plans. I have so many cool pictures, but here is just a sneak peek of all the fun.

Kids at hotel. Then us in front of the clouds before you go into Air zoo.

The kids getting into the flight simulator.

Zane on his size rides. There are a few rides there he cant ride on, but these rides made it all better.

This is us in the 4D theater. He is just to cute for his own good:)

Ariel on the hamster ball. The plane is the one that we are sitting in.

My kids waiting to get sucked up into the black hole. Really they don't:)
After we left there we took off and went to my mom's in Ohio for the remainder of the week. The kids were excited to go there also, because Grandma's cat just had kitten's. They really wanted to see them especially Landon. He really loves cats, they are his favorite, he wanted a kitten so bad, but unfortunately we can't have one. He took it better then i thought he would, but he was still sad:(
But anyways the kids had fun hanging out at grandma and grandpa Jack's for the week, we went to one of the three nice playgrounds that Archibold has to offer. We also went to a church that had a community play ground thing inside there building and the kids loved playing in there. Especially since the weather was rainy pretty much all week, so we never got visit the other two playgrounds. The kids have been to them before, but they still like to go to all of them when they have the chance. We also went to Wauseon to the Chief grocery store to bring back some awesome sugar cookies for James. We then came back home Friday late afternoon,so we could let James get his sleep.

Of course momma and the kitten's.
Then Saturday we decided that we would take the kids to the Potawatomi Zoo in South bend and then mini- golf at Putt-Putt's in Mishawaka. They had a fun time, they liked being able to do something with daddy too since it was just me with them all the rest of the week. This was Zane's first trip to the Potawatomi zoo and first time mini golfing. He was so much fun too watch. he would hit that ball and keep hitting it and then when he got close to the hole he would pick it up and put it in there and yell Ta-Da and cheer, we all got a good laugh:) So that pretty much sums up are spring break. I have a lot of plans for the summer, i just hope we have the time and money to do them.
