During our ice-cream dinner tonight I asked the kids what their favorite part of spring break was. This is what they came up with (in no particular order).
1. Ice cream for dinner!
To celebrate Shea and Shaun memorizing all 13 articles of faith (and saying them in primary) we made a 13 scoop ice-cream sundae with lots of toppings and ate it for dinner. I'm not a total looser of a mom though, we did have salad for dessert.It was a fun way to end spring break too.
2. Crush coming out of hibernation after 4 1/2 months.
3. Dad's work party (Shaun winning the estimation jar for the second year in a row and winning movie tickets).
4. Going camping near Beaver Creek.
5. Shaun scoring big at both of his basketball games and Shane playing great defense at his games.
6. Shea going Roller skating with friends and getting the royal VIP treatment at the air show.
7. Seeing Race to Witch Mountain as a family.
8. Play dates with friends and playing "Lost in the Jungle" in the backyard.
9. Seeing GREEN on St. Patty's Day.
Every year the kids each get their own box of Lucky Charms for breakfast and we consume as much green food as possible. This year's dinner was the traditional corned beef and cabbage, broccoli, green potatoes, green rice crispy treats, green milk, and a green lime sherbet spritzer.
10. Helping the Ensman's move :)
Favorite quote: Shaun: "Mom, can I have some graham crappers and milk?"
Worst thing about spring break: Dad leaving for Indiana!!!!

Ok, so the first comment didn't quite work. What a fun post. I love the ice cream sundae. Spring break must have been a good break for everyone. Camping? The new snow in the mountains and the attempt at snow at our house is probably a sign that we aren't quite at that stage in the north country.
Love to everyone,
Mom/Grandma T.
Ice cream for dinner - what an awesome idea! I need to get that into my weekly dinner rotation!
Looks like the Tanners continue to be active and loving life. Thanks for taking the time to post, I so enjoy keeping up with your darling family. Lynn
