The RouseHouse had a great spring break!
We did just that, took a break!
We are such a busy family, running from activity
to wonderful activity. We were all looking forward to a
week of relaxation.
Plus, we have a very special trip coming up, so
rest was in order... :)
Even though we are having the never ending winter,
we did manage to get outside a bit.
Everyone is playing softball this spring,
which makes for a lot of hot dog dinners at the ballpark!
We also had plenty of lounge-around time.
Obviously, Avery took to it very nicely!
We did have one bigger project for the week.
We updated Avery's room a bit. She needed some
new shelving/storage options.
She just keeps getting so big!

 |
| She was sad to lose her old shelf, but very happy with her new one! |
We took a break and caught one of the spring break
movies at the library, one of our favorite spring break traditions!
 |
| Popcorn and Wreck it Ralph~ |
Daddy and Ella had their own project, building a birdhouse.
Ella got her own toolset for Christmas and she's been dying to break them in!
 |
| She hung it up on the window. It has an open back so we can see the birds. I'm not holding my breath! |
I did make the girls work a bit. They spent an afternoon cleaning
out the playroom. A much needed chore! They made a good
pile for their annual garage sale. They use the proceeds from
their garage sale and lemonade stand to buy their pool passes for the summer.

Avery's 1/2 birthday fell at the end of spring break.
Her treat: a trip to the Civic Center to see Million Dollar Quartet.
This was her first 'real' show and she loved it!!
She was rocking out the whole time.
My little broadway lover, no surprise!
All in all, it was a great week!
We spent some quality time together, had a few special outings,
got some work done around the house, and took
some time to sit in gratitude for our many blessings!
