We were supposed to go to Baltimore this week to enjoy our spring break w/ my family but we had to cancel due to Dean’s lay off. I think our kids should still get to do fun things since they do know what was supposed to be happening this week, plus I hope to keep myself busy enough not to think about it. Today we went to the Newport Aquarium. I took my boys, Katelyn (the baby girl I babysit) and my (big helper!) niece Laura. I only agreed to this costly expenditure was because I had two BOGO coupons, pay for one adult get one free child admission, so for their purposes Laura was an adult. I ended up paying for myself, Laura and one kid which was still a lot for as lame as this aquarium is compared to the Baltimore one! We splurged on McDonalds for lunch on the way there as well.

I’m hoping to take them to the zoo tomorrow but it will depend on how I’m feeling. I have another killer sore throat and am wiped out after todays trip! I think Friday or Monday we are going to go swimming at the Y, whichever day Dean takes off of work. there’s no way I’m doing that solo w/ a baby!

Pics up on Flickr! 

We got our basement finished this weekend, will add new pics later but here’s the last pics I took   before the baseboards got put in.

  one wall is a sandy  color, the other a cranberry color.   it looks really nice! 

Saturday afternoon we went to a neighbors sons b/day party at an inflatable play place.   After that we came home to host game night which was a lot of fun, but exhausting!  This morning we got up and went to church, then we ate lunch at cici’s pizza.   Caleb and Dean headed to their first read through for Caleb’s next play, Beauty and the Beast while Zeke, Bo and I went to Entertrainment Junction for a party w/ other moms from Momslikeme.   We got in for free and had a lot of fun, but that again was tiring as it was me vs. the two boys and a crowd!

It’s been a lazy evening and tomorrow I get a day off from babysitting so I’m hoping to run some errands to get stuff for Zekes upcoming b/day party.
