Spring Break

Not much planned this Spring Break. Monday I had a dental cleaning to make up for a cancellation from the snow storms. A trip to the library & the kids doing yardwork finished off the day.

Tuesday Retha, the kids & I went to Alma to the A-Z complex store. Wow that place has sure grown since the last time I've been there. We went into every store except the grocery one. We found a few good buys & the best part is we didn't even "break the bank".
Here Logan is in the A-Z Sporting Goods store by the koi pond. I think they were koi anyways??
After we finished up w/ lunch in Alma we of course had to head into Ft. Smith for a trip to Michaels since we were so close. Wonder why they've not put a Michaels in NWA yet?

Bread

A lady at work mentioned an easy bread her daughter made. I asked her for the recipe & she brought it. I actually tried to make this. I was in a hurry because I was needing to pick Steph up from school (she stayed late) & I was getting stressed. Chris ended up picking her up for me & I finished the bread. The dough was pretty tough I thought but it turned out pretty good (for my first attempt).

Birthday Invite

Steph was invited to a birthday party tonight at Fast Lane. Chris, Logan & I dropped her off & went to eat. The mom of birthday girl said it'd be an hour & half to 2 hours long, but I had a feeling it'd be longer than that after having Logan a party there once. She was dropped off at 5pm & at 7:30pm we started calling/texting her to find out how much longer. It's so loud in there it took a bit for her to text back. Finally just after 8pm she told us she'd be done anytime. After three days of picking kids up late from activites I feel like I've not been home any.

My Favorite #

I asked Steph to drive back from my sisters house in Bella Vista the other night & it was getting fairly dark out & started drizzling rain on the way home. Half way to our exit on the interstate she says "My new favorite # is 78". For the life of me I couldn't figure out why she'd choose 78 of all possible #'s to choose as a favorite. She tells me that 78 is our exit # after I asked why. LOL Side note~photo taken coming from Springdale the following weekend.

Friday Fun Night

Kirksey holds a Friday Fun Night twice a year & it's basically a couple hours that kids can go hang out, play games, & have fun at school in a safe place. 6th grade attended from 5:30-7:30. Steph enjoyed these while at Tucker Middle School & Kirksey Middle School. Logan decided not to attend the first one they had, but was excited about going to this one. He had fun, of course.

Taxes

We've been using this tax place for a long long time, my parents have used them my whole life & my dad before my parents were married. They called today to say they were finished & we could come sign. I normally don't get in any hurry to have them done because I use the refund for our summer vacation & to pay the property/real estate tax bills in Oct. This year though I got it together & decided to just take it down to them, they were sure surprised to see me so early (not the weekend before deadlines like last year).

Steph helped out with a festival that was held at Tucker Schools tonight from 5:30-7:30. She earned extra points for her Spanish class.
