spring break...take 2.

our pre-spring break (or as we called it "spring break 2007"...see pizza pic below) consisted of a trip to nyc to visit my darling sister and many other fabulous friends. we ate a lot of pizza, drank unbelievable cocktails and most importantly, spent time with people i love. it was a great spring break.

spring break part 2 has been a bit less jet-setty (i like to make up words). i've been filling my emptyish (see how i make 'em up!), non-work-scheduled (again, i know) days with babysitting, substitute teaching and a bit of life-planning. for example, yesterday i had the pleasure of spending the day with about 20 grade school kids who were off school for a teacher inservice day. we ran around in a gym, played board games, went bowling and ate brownie sundaes. not only was i able to brush up on my yahtzee skills, but i was also able to witness the sheer delight of watching a 6 lb. bowling ball hug the side of the gutter guard (put up for the kids) while the tiny bowler shakes her booty to cyndi lauper's "girls just wanna have fun."

amazing.

i've made two trips to the children's museum this week and have enjoyed them both. currently the museum has an exhibit called "all about me" which includes a photo booth which takes killer color photos. you can decorate and add them to a huge magnetic mural filled with hundreds of colored paper pieces and photos. my little friend really dug the photo booth and we ended up taking three sets of pics.

as for the "life-planning" part of my spring break, well...i'm still working on it.

i am taking suggestions if you have any.
