Spring Break

This week has been Spring Break for our kids. It began with a couple days of gorgeous weather - between 60 and 70 degrees. We just enjoyed being outside, reading, gardening and just sitting in the sun with shorts on. Lorelle was away for a few days to Idaho visiting a friend that's in college there.

It became a bit cooler mid week but still quite nice. We visited Boulevard Park which is a beautiful park by the ocean and the kids enjoyed rollerblading, ripsticking, etc. while we just walked the trail. I also spent some time working as I have begun to work part-time with an agency that provides transportation and supervision for foster children and parents who have scheduled court ordered visits. It's going well - a lot of documentation as the reports I need to make are used in court cases at times to determine whether the child can return home, to which parent, or not at all. At this point it's very part-time and we'll see where it leads.

The last two days of Spring Break our youngest two are busy at the Youth Fair - one enrolled in Chess and the other in Photography. It's a nice way to fill up the week if we're staying home and not making any trips. I am also busy transplanting perennials as I am on our Plant Sale Committee. This is a big fundraiser for our school and it's coming up at the end of April. I went out and bought some cool spikey plants for my two large planters I bought last year. Now I have to figure what else to add to it. I hope to use these also as decorations for Lorelle's grad ceremony as their school colors are burgundy and black. I'll show you the pots again when they're full & (hopefully) beautiful.
