Spring Break 2012

Posted on April 16, 2012 Written by Tonya

Today I’m missing my little side kick, but I am proud to report I we survived Spring Break!

In the beginning there was worry and dread. Lots of dread and then, I made a list! I outlined each day and before I knew it I was actually excited about Lucas being on Spring Break! 

The days were long, I’m not going to lie, but we had so much fun together.

Photobucket

There was a trip to the aquarium, a birthday party, a play date, ice cream, scooter time, a much needed hair cut, plenty of park time and we started swim lessons!

There were also at least 20 rounds of the game Cars & Trucks cards, pizza and macaroni and cheese lunches, a couple of afternoons with no naps that we filled with crayons, paint and multiple viewings of Rio. Oh, and there was one afternoon spent with a babysitter so Mommy could get her yoga on.

All in all the week went by super fast and we didn’t even get to everything on my list, but the memories of our time together and Lucas’ first Spring Break will last a lifetime. 

Linking up with Galit (These Little Waves) and Alison’s (Mama Wants This) monthly link up, Memories Captured.

      We had a great week. And the cupcakes were cute but not that yummy. Store bought, I think.

    Yay for busy spring breaks! We went to the zoo, shopping, and some other stuff during our week off of school. Back to the grind today.

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:12 pm

      Yes, back to the grind indeed. Glad you had a fun break as well.

      Hope you are having a happy spring!

    Great pics – looks like he had fun!
    We’re just done with two weeks of Spring Break and this year was not as bad as other years – I think the secret is in having a plan!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:15 pm

      I would have been lost without my list! Gotta have a plan.

    What a great way to remember what looks like a super-fun spring break! And if you made those cupcakes…I’m having mom-envy right now.

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:16 pm

      I did not make the cupcakes. I think they were store bought, but yes, very cute.

      Happy spring!

    I love this for the memories that you captured *and* for the fact that you admit that the days can be, indeed, LONG!

    Looks like such a wonderful week together, you! Love it!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:17 pm

      We had a good week, my boy and I. 🙂

    April 16, 2012 at 12:31 pm

    Those cupcakes — yummy.

    And how still he looks in his haircut day, huh!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:18 pm

      The cupcakes were cute but not that tasty. Store bought, I think. It was a fun birthday party and a really great week.

      As long as “Cars” is playing, Lucas will sit still. 🙂

    Hooray for spring break!

    For the first time in a decade, Spring Break didn’t exist around here. Cort still went to work, Eddie still went to daycare, and I was home with the baby. Nothing made that week different.

    And I was Ok with it. But next year? BRING IT!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:19 pm

      I was really dreading it, but having a plan was key. We had a something fun to do everyday.

      Happy spring!

    Ive loved seeing your Instagram pictures through the week! Glad y’all had fun!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:19 pm

      Thank you. I tried to save the best ones for here, but there’s always crossover. 🙂

      Happy spring to you and yours.

    April 16, 2012 at 4:15 pm

    Fun! Looks like you guys had a blast! Oh, how I wish I still got a Spring Break!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:22 pm

      You and me both!

      It was a good week.

    that right there looks like a great week!!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:23 pm

      We had a lot of fun. The key was having a plan, something to do each and every day.

  15. Tammi says

    April 16, 2012 at 8:00 pm

    It looks like you had a blast! The cup cakes are so cute too my son is all about cars!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:24 pm

      Lucas is obsessed with Cars!! Sadly, the cupcakes only looked good. He took one bite and handed it to me. I think they were store bought. Not that that matters, usually….

  16. Melanie says

    What a way to chronicle your Spring Break. Looks like it was a fun time. I love that you had several activities set up. Great photos!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:26 pm

      It was a fun week and having a plan was essential!

      Happy spring to you and yours.

  17. Coffee Lovin' Mom says

    April 16, 2012 at 10:44 pm

    Love the set up, our spring break would have had less squares this year..love the cupcakes!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:34 pm

      We had a great week. Lots of stuff planned and some lazy days too.

      The cupcakes were cute, but tasted “yuck-o” (my son’s word). 🙂

  18. Kimberly says

    April 16, 2012 at 10:54 pm

    So glad you had a great week! We went back to reality today and I won’t lie, I actually missed spring break!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:34 pm

      Me too.

      Sort of.

  19. Julie says

    April 17, 2012 at 7:22 am

    Looks like Spring Break was educational too! Look at all the sensory experiences. Good stuff!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:35 pm

      Yes, lots of good stuff.

      Happy spring to you and yours!

    Looks like a fun and very active week! Did you go somewhere or have a “staycation?”

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:36 pm

      We stayed right at home. It was a fun week. Maybe next year we’ll go away. Or hopefully this summer!

    That sounds like such a wonderful Spring Break! And good for you for sneaking in some yoga time.

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:36 pm

      By Wednesday, I was dying!! 🙂

  22. Suzy says

    April 17, 2012 at 12:11 pm

    It sounds and looks like you had a fun, busy week! I’m sure you made memories that will last much longer than that full, busy week.

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:37 pm

      Thanks, I hope so. That’s the plan anyway. 🙂 Happy spring to you and yours.

    It looks like he literally took the time to stop and smell the roses! Perfect break, indeeed!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 2:38 pm

      That was not even posed, he just stopped his scootering and did that! Can you believe it? He’s a funny kid. I must have taught him that at some point.

  24. Elaine says

    April 17, 2012 at 2:49 pm

    Aw, I just love how he “stopped to smell the roses”! 😉

    Love the shot of his silhouette in the aquarium!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 3:07 pm

      Thanks, I got really lucky.

      I couldn’t believe he stopped scootering to smell the flowers. Funny kid!

    Balik sahaja dari sekolah, aku tidak mempedulikan ibu yang sudah menyambut kedatanganku dengan penuh mesra. Dapat ku lihat wajah ibu sedikit terkilan akan sikapku. Aku tidak mempedulikan ibu. Namun jelas di bibir ibu tidak pernah lekang dengan senyuman tidak kira bagaimana pun aku memperlakukannya. Sejak kebelakangan ini, tidurku asyik terganggu gara-gara batuk ibu yang semakin teruk. Aku bingkas bangun dan segera masuk ke dalam bilik ibu tanpa mengetuk pintu mahupun memberi salam. Ibu menyambut kedatanganku dengan senyuman. Senyuman ibu tidak mampu menyejukkan hatiku yang marah akibat tidurku terganggu dan tanpa sedar aku meluahkan kata-kata yang diluar jangkaan.

Tidak lupa kupanjatkan doa setiap kali solatku agar terbuka hatinya untuk menjadi seorang muslimah yang bertaqwa. Suatu hari dia memberitahuku yang dia akan mengikut keluarganya untuk berhijrah ke Munich, Jerman. Kesangsian hatiku memuncak, aku takut bibit-bibit keyakinan dan kepercayaannya akan goyah. Dia cuba meyakinkanku untuk percaya kepadanya. Aku akur dengan keputusannya itu.
