Great start to our spring break! (dripping with sarcasm)

Well, spring break is here.......finally!  The kids are so excited!  Saturday morning at the breakfast table Emma announced that she had turned her alarm clock off the night before because it's spring break and there's no need for an alarm clock.  She is exactly right!  By the time spring break rolls around the kids are really in need of some down time!  Unfortunately, this down time has become an absolute must for two out of three of my kiddos.  Abby was diagnosed with an ear infection yesterday and John Brady was diagnosed with the flu today.  :(  On the brighter side, I am glad they didn't have to miss any school for their illnesses and hopefully in a couple of days they will be feeling much better.
