Larainy Days: If Spring Breaks, Don't Try to Fix It

If Spring Breaks, Don't Try to Fix It

I can't believe I used to dread Spring Break. I wonder if it had anything to do with five little kids at home who all had their own ideas about recreation, limited funds and a husband who had to work through it?

Things have improved.

This year we visited another planet

called Amococo.

When we returned to earth we went shopping at the Gap

which caused the children to jump for joy

Grandma Larainy jumps for joy for other reasons.

Holly said...: I'm curious if CPS might be interested in the fact that you take your kids into the middle of nowhere land, make them stand on a cliff and tell them to jump. Looks like a great time was had by all.; March 18, 2011 at 4:39 AM
