Big Plans

Spring Break for the kids begins today. We have a week off of school and swim practice, and really anything else that we otherwise have to be doing.  Sadly, Genius Golfer's schedule doesn't accommodate a week of fun and frivolity.  He is working really long hours, seven days a week lately...I just hope this project is worth all his time and effort.  Since he can't play with us this week, the kids and I are planning a Staycation.  Each day I'd like to do something out of the ordinary to make it seem more like a real vacation.
Today, The Boy kicked things off with another walk with his buddies to our favorite local Gas 'n Sip for their free drink day.  (Each month on the 11th a local company pays for all the free drinks--one per customer--to celebrate their business' anniversary!  Nice, right?)

The Girl has a planned hair appointment with a friend who is going to give her a "feather".  I'm not sure what that means yet, but I trust the friend and think The Girl is capable of spending her own money.  So we'll see what that ends up being.  Then she has a meeting for the spring Splash into Summer swim clinic the high school team does a as a fund raiser just before the summer swim season begins.

Other than that, we have a half hour of Laser Tag scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.  Each kid get to bring two friends.  (I got a screaming deal offer on this so I ended up paying half price for this outing.)  Then they have a game of glow-in-the-dark mini golf after that.  So a fun filled afternoon is planned...especially since it is supposed to snow again on Wednesday.

And there are a couple of movies I like to go see with the kids at our local $3 theater here in town.   Oh, and a run to Costco is on the list...but that is hardly vacation-worthy.  I guess that isn't too bad for a stay-cation.  We'll see how it goes.  Just wish GG could be home with us for this week...even if that meant we'd be working in the yard all week.
