Spring Break: Six Saturdays in a Row

Kyla recited this poem, Sick by Shel Silverstein, at a Talent Show at school on Friday. My recording at the talent show was very poor. I missed recording the first few lines and then it was still out of focus for a few more lines. This recording below, that Grandpa Larry took while he was here, turned out much better.

Oh, and the lady that you see in the video is just our tired-out, live-in nanny, dishwasher, laundress, chauffeur, cook, maid, janitor, activities director, counselor, mediator, nurse/Mom. Sometimes Saturdays don't mean much to her. Just ignore her...

So it may not be Saturday today, but it IS Spring Break! That's even better than Saturday. That's like having 6 Saturdays in a row!

We had a "not so great" start to spring break. One of the kids woke up sick yesterday morning. Yes, the REAL kind of sick. NO! this is NOT supposed to happen! Not on a 6-Saturdays-in-a-row-MEGA-break from school. And NO, we just got all over being sick already! Not AGAIN! But YES, it did happen...

Thankfully, the sick little one was feeling much better by last evening and the "spring breakers" decided to camp out in the basement... with a bucket by the sleeping bags... just in case.

From The "Mom",

A Note from the Janitor/Nurse- cleaning up throw-up off the floor and sleeping bag by flashlight in the middle of the night does feel a lot like camping out. It was so nice to have a clean, soft, warm bed to crawl into afterwards. Maybe "basement camp-outs" are the way to go!
