Spring Break

Well, the twins had their first spring break a few weeks ago! It's kind of hard to remember how nice the weather was because we currently have snow on the ground on April 15...can I just say YUCK! Mike was in Honduras for spring break so I decided to pack the kids up and head down to Tucson to visit some of Mike's family. It's about a 5 hour drive and my biggest fear was everyone  having to go to the bathroom all the time. Since I was by myself that meant every time one kid has to go potty that we all had to get out of car and head into the bathroom! Thankfully my kids are awesome in the car and we only had to stop once! So we stopped at Del Taco cause they had outside seating and I had packed most of the food for our lunch. I get everyone out of the car and we head to the bathroom. And of course I picked the place where they only had one girls potty and one boys potty. Well, I can't just leave the kids outside of the bathroom (this was not an upscale Del Taco or area by any means!) so we all head in to the bathroom. After the kids finish going, I make the boys hold Kara's hand and all face the wall while I try to potty. Of course Kara won't stand still, so I have to keep yelling at the boys to look at the wall while they're trying to get Kara to stay by them. What an experience!! Thankfully, no one was waiting outside the bathroom or they would have been quite entertained by all the commotion going on inside. But the bathroom stories aren't over yet because as soon as we start to eat, Trenton has to go #2. He doesn't want to go by himself so Jason goes with him. I keep running inside to check on them and then back outside to other kids. So I go to check on them and Trenton is yelling, "Mom, what should I do with the toilet paper?" And I'm like throw it in the toilet! So then yells, "well as soon I got up from toilet Jason sat down on it!" So I'm yelling, through the door, well tell Jason to get up so you can throw your tp in! All the while, this guy has been waiting about 10 minutes for the bathroom to just wash his hands and his wife has finally got out of the car to come looking for him! It was about 20 minutes of chaos and I have vowed never to stop at that Del Taco again!

This is an Uncle Randy burger...it seriously is the best tasting thing in the world! I don't even want to know how many calories in this thing but it's SO yummy! You can see Jason in background trying to fit his burger into his mouth.

Davis and Uncle Randy being silly! :)

The boys all playing with bubbles. If you look closely you can see the bubbles in the air.

Kara playing with her bubbles.

I love this pic of me with my boys at the zoo!

We had a great time with Aunt Dana at the zoo! Then we headed to McDonald's for some happy meals and more fun!

I love this pic of Jason and Davis!

Ok I'm obviously not good and picking and choosing pics! I still had even more I wanted to add but they were taking awhile to download. I was so blessed by our time down in Tucson! We went to the park, the zoo, Chuck E Cheese, got lots of time playing with the cousins, swimming in the pool, played wii and angry birds, of course! I got to have late night chats with Aunt Dana and a prayer time as well. It truly made the time without Mike go by quickly and the kids all had a blast! Thanks to all the Tucson fam for such a fun spring break!!!
