Spring Break

Yes, it was a stay-cation for the Naults. We started the week by celebrating Ethan's friend's birthday. Alex also had a Star Wars themed-party, so it was good practice in last-minute event planning so we didn't have the same stuff at Ethan's own Star Wars party a week later. Ethan and Matthew took their picture with a Stormtrooper.



And ate lots of Cheetos and cake and ice cream.


We also celebrated Mark's birthday. Had a surprise BBQ at the house for some friends. Mark thought one couple was coming. It was more like four other couples and all their kids. And I thought the vat of baked beans and the 3 dozen hamburger buns would have given it away, but he was still surprised. I got him a Flip Video - a camera that takes little videos that we can plug right into the computer - and hopefully, blog! Please hold for the learning curve.

The kids watched a lot of TV as I got ready for the big jewelry show. Lucas managed to roll his entire high chair into the living room (or "winger" room as he calls it) and climb up into it. Best view in the house, I suppose.



The bluebonnets are in bloom. One of Sarah's classmates thought they were called Blue Vomits. I'll never look at them the same way again.



We also had Fudge, the guinea pig again. He was Jacob's class pet from last year. He seems to pee a lot more when I let him out of the cage so I'm afraid we didn't do it as much. The kids enjoyed feeding him carrots and lettuce but amazingly enough, nobody volunteered to help me clean his cage. Hmmph. We had pretty good weather. Nothing beats sunshine and shorts on Spring Break!



And the jewelry show was Friday through Sunday. It wasn't as successful as Dallas market but we didn't really expect it to be. Lots of women whose husbands probably own a construction or landscaping business and let their wives borrow their Tax ID to get into the wholesale show to buy one necklace. What we wanted were the business owners themselves buying dozens of necklaces to retail in their own shops. I only worked Friday and Saturday because Ethan's birthday party was Sunday.
