Free at Last

After 2+ weeks of sick kids, I was finally able to get OUT of the house today with the kids and hit the gym!  For me, working out is one of the best mind detoxifying things I can do.  Well, that, and a long walk alone outside, or an hour long massage (but you can imagine how un-often either of those things happen!)  Our gym here is literally 3 minutes away, and the kids really enjoy playing at the Kids Club there.  So off we went!

Fortunately, the stomach bug that went around here was rather friendly, and we had a few dates in-between our kids playing tag with it, that it wasn't an awful ordeal.  But it did keep us from going anywhere other than outside.  So I am glad it is over, and we can resume getting back to a social life!

Spring arrived so warmly here that I assumed it was just going to get warmer from then on out... Silly me!  Who else is ready for warm park weather to arrive and stay for awhile?  I certainly am!

Now Rapunzel is free from her 4 story tower, er, town home : )

Here are a few pics of us being cooped up:

 Playing outside on a cold, chilly day! (this lasted for about 15 minutes.  The kids were totally fine, but mommy was the wimp and said, "This is way too cold! Inside!"

 Movie time. Yes.

 Printed Paper Dolls!  Cheap, easy, and fun!

 Marcail cut these out on her own!

Thought you might appreciate a close-up of our freshly painted feet : )
