The Crazy Crawford Clan: Skating, Mules, and Softball---Spring Break 09

March 16-22, 2009---The kids and I spent spring break in Pontotoc. Initially, Rick was going to join us but work had other plans for him. Our week was packed with activities: birthday party, rides in Uncle Adam's wagon, trips to the Wellness Center, playing at the park, lunch with friends, attending a softball game, shopping, preparing for/attending the Mooneyhan wedding festivities, and finishing up by going back to First Baptist Church for services on Sunday. It was going to be a busy week and we were ready for it!

We drove up on Monday, with a slight detour through Columbus, adding two hours to our already three hour drive. We were all so ready to get out of the van. It was a dreary, rainy drive the entire five hours. We arrived in time to make it to Auston and Madison's birthday party at the skating rink. I have no pictures of the birthday kids---not sure how that happened.

Chloe and AJ liked playing the video game:

They're too little for skates but that didn't keep them off the floor:

For the first time, Jackson decided he wanted to skate. His skates were so tight they barely rolled but he thought he was really skating!:

Doing the limbo:

Anna Catherine was focused on getting under the bar. I don't think she understands that you aren't supposed to touch the floor as you go under the bar:

Uncle Adam took the kids for a ride in his wagon two afternoons. They always love this! Jackson liked talking to the mules:

Chloe, Jackson, and I went to the gym Tuesday - Thursday mornings. I miss the Wellness Center and all of my friends there SO MUCH!!! It was so good to see them again. There are no words to describe how excited Chloe was to see JR. She would hug him and make him hold her until I pried her away. I had fun chatting with "the girls" too. We had lunch together on Thursday, but I also had four kids with me so I didn't get to socialize very much. Hopefully, on our next "girl's outing" I can go kid-free.

On Thursday we went to the South Pontotoc vs. Booneville JV high school softball game. Morgan is the starting pitcher. Nicole's friend, Kaylee, plays outfield. The Lady Cougars won 5-2...WAY TO GO GIRLS!!!!
