We were totally spoiled last week! Rick had a whole week off from classes and studying!
Since he was at the convention in Philadelphia the week before he had to take an exam he missed on Monday morning. But after the test we got to spend all the way till the next Monday morning with him! It. Was. Awesome.
Monday afternoon we went to Sonic and got 1/2 price slushies and then headed to the pool. Yes, we went to an outdoor pool in March. It's still kind of weird to me how hot it already is. Mid 80's in March. I'm not looking forward to when it is 30 degrees hotter!
After the pool we decided it would be fun to go on a picnic. So we made sandwiches and took string cheese and grapes and headed to a little pond/lake not too far from our home. The kids loved being outside, running around, feeding the ducks, and having the time of their life.

Rick and I decided it would be fun to go on a couple dates while he was on spring break so one night we went out and exchanged a birthday gift and went to eat at Si Senor. I got Rick a watch for his birthday since he had been needing a new one but it wasn't quite what he wanted, so we returned the one I got him and he picked out a new one.
Another night we got free tickets to see Divergent and it came with free popcorn too! Rick and I read the book together last year and thought it would be fun to see the movie together. It was so good! I loved it and want to see it again. And I actually just finished reading the second and third books too. So I'm excited for the other movies to come out!! Anyway, that night Rick chose where to eat since I chose the other date night. He wanted to go to an all-you-can-ate buffet. We went to a place called Old Country Buffett. It was similar to Chuckarama but they don't have those in AZ.
Here are some pictures of our family trip to the zoo:

Saturday morning I went to some garage sales with a couple friends without the kids and found some awesome deals! Like those little sandboxes that are shaped like a turtle... I got one for $2. We just fill it up with water and let the kids play with water toys. They love it! I also found some sandals for Kimbri and some really cheap books that were in great condition. We are always reading books around our house so it's always a fun thing to find at yard sales for cheap.
Saturday night was a Young Women fundraiser dinner with a silent auction. We bid on some babysitting from some of the Young women so now we have a few nights of babysitting we can use!
We had such a fun week having fun and just relaxing together as a family. So glad we got to have Rick around for a whole week! Now we just have a few more months until Rick finishes his first year of med school and then we'll have a summer break! Wahoo!!
