We had high hopes for our spring break this year. The kids had a whole week off and were anticipating a week filled with fun and outside play. Instead they got this:
Monday - No snow as was predicted, but cold and windy all day. They valiantly tried to play outside a few times, but retreated quickly into the warmth of our house. They spent most of the day playing on the Wii.
Tuesday - It snowed quite a bit Monday night and Tuesday was even colder (highs in the 30's) so we just hunkered down and stayed inside. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned while they played on the Wii. Again.
Wednesday - Sunshine! Yay! We got out and played outside and ran errands and had a pretty good day. The forecast for Thursday was delightful so we decided to take a trip to Salt Lake City to the Hogle Zoo. Alas, William ended up with a fever of 101 before bedtime so we had to postpone our trip.
Today looks like a great day weather-wise (Sunshine! No Wind! 50 Degrees!), but William is still running a fever when he isn't drugged with Jr. Strength Tylenol so we're staying home again. If William's fever is gone tomorrow I think we'll attempt the zoo; otherwise we'll have to postpone it for a bit. The good news is that Jay is returning home from a trip to the City That Never Sleeps, which works well for him since he's been stressed with a work project and seems to be going on about 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night for the last few weeks. The kids will be happy to see him and he can be appropriately sympathetic to their complaints of a boring spring break. I ran out of my weekly allottment of sympathy in the midst of their "we're stir crazy and bored and not going to take it anymore" induced fighting late Tuesday afternoon, so I'm all out for a while.
