Spring Break

So much happens in the Macdonald family from day to day that it seems like this is getting harder to keep this blog updated. It's April? Where did January, February and March go? I try to "live in the moment" and "savor each day as they come" but it sure is hard to do with three kids. That said, Praise God for every new day that comes and the opportunity to start over.

Sydney had Spring break last week so I scheduled a couple of fun things for the family to do. She also came home with a project from school, to be done over Spring break. Apparently, her teacher has been reading them a chapter book in class each day and they finished a book called "Flat Stanley". Each kid brought home a picture of Stanley to color, cut out and decorate and they are to take Stanley with them everywhere they go on their break and then write about what they did.

Monday: We took Stanley outside in the evening and did yard work as a family. Stanley was happy to sit on a rock while we weeded.

Tuesday: The kids had gymnastics class but Stanley was sadly left behind at home

Wednesday: Elisabeth came over for the day and had a sleepover. Sydney made Stanley some pajamas and he slept with the girls.

Thursday: Impressions 5 is a wonderful Children's Science Museum in Lansing. Mommy took the kids to visit the Museum and they had a lot of fun discovering fun things there. Their favorite was the Bubble Room and moving magnets with an electric machine.

Friday & Saturday: As a family, we went to Zehnders Splash Village in Frankenmuth, MI. The kids really loved this water park...so much so, that Sydney wants to come back here for her birthday! Flat Stanley was happy to stay in the backpack so that he didn't get wet!

This was a full, busy and fun-filled Spring break.
