annual easter egg hunt
We love going to the annual easter egg hunt at the Thomases. The weather was a little chilly this year, but at least we didn't get rained on ... which is a miracle this spring! As usual, there were lots of hidden eggs filled with candy or (even better) money, plus a yummy bbq and great friends.

spring break
We spent most of spring break in St. George. The weather at home was cold and rainy, which made the St. George warmth and sunshine feel even better!
We played lots of baseball at the park,
Tried out some new kites,
Hiked to some petroglyphs,
Swam in the pool,
And went shooting. Yes, I'm nice enough to share the .22 that Ben gave to me for Christmas a few years ago. An interesting gift since my rule was that we wouldn't own any guns. But, I have to admit, shooting is pretty fun. :)

how to have a fabulous wednesday
First, play hooky from work, school, and any other lessons or practices you might have that particular day.
Second, pile everyone in the car (along with their ski gear) and head up into the mountains to a nearby ski resort.
Finally, after you get home and everyone is clean and warm and in their pj's, turn out all the lights, snuggle up together, and watch one of your family's fav tv shows ("I Shouldn't Be Alive").
And there you have it! Follow these steps and you're sure to have a fantastic day. :)

Third, spend the day enjoying the awesome snow, and your awesome family, and the smiles on their faces (especially when they think about the fact that they really should be in school at that very moment).
On your way home, convince your husband to stop at your favorite restaurant (The Dodo) for dinner.
