Spring Break begins...

English muffin pizzas and mango/blueberry/banana/orange juice smoothies
With cookies 'n cream pudding for dessert--with a candle mind you!  As Little Miss said, "For no good reason!"  Except that we had Lolly for the afternoon.  There was much trampolining, a puppet show, block building, the above gourmet meal, cousins in a tub followed by the great detangling/braiding adventure.  Then hopscotch.  Nothing like hopscotch right before bedtime.
And then a story from Molly before she and Lolly went back to her house.
It's been a busy Spring Break, friends.  And it's only MONDAY!
Sunday the McKinney crew came to Molly and Papa's.  It was the sixth anniversary of our Road Trip to Santa Barbara and Back.  And Trey and Sunny's wedding, of course.  We worked on Easter pictures...

Funny bunnies.
Lolly has a secret in this one...but I'll never tell.  I'm just that great an auntie!
A lovely spring vignette, yes?

Doing the bunnyhop.
Papa and Lolo found the AnnieBunnie quite entertaining.
To think that six years ago, none of them were here...we must have been soooooooo bored/boring back then!
Saturday was full of excitement as well.  We were out of the house by 9:30am!  We were off to Lowe's...
to make tabletop basketball hoops!  They have these make and takes every few weeks.  They're free and fun...
And educational in a skills-building kinda way.  I love how she's holding Loverboy's thumb while hammering away.  Little Miss was not overly thrilled with the noise level, but she was quite pleased with the outcome...
AND she got a completion certificate AND a patch...the aprons are on back order LuAnne at Lowe's said, but when we go back to build our next masterpiece at the end of the month they should be in...and she'll get another patch!  She seems to like the patch thing...maybe a future lure into Girl Scouts?  MMmmm...Girl Scout cookies...but I digress.  We went to the courthouse square to see Molly, who was working at the hotel.  We stopped by a shop next door first to peruse the marbles and bricabrac.  We left Loverboy there--he was SHOPPING.  I've never seen the man browse before.  A little distrubing really.   After visiting Molly and trying to track down the skunk smell in the hotel, we went to our beloved county library.  We also continued our Spring Break Burger Project--but that's a later post!
Which brings us back to Friday--the start of Spring Break '10.  It was a half day at school and then off to the Country Peddlar Show...except Molly realized that it's not until next Friday...luckily before we left.  Undaunted, we picked up Mimi Debbie and all headed for JoAnn's for some craftiness...and to try on seasonal headbands..
