I am not abandoning our discussion. However, this week is Spring Break for us and I need some lightness. Sharing some Spring joy and boredom survival strategies today.

First, current entryway design. I like it. (The Tolkien book is in Russian, not Elvish)

Making activity books readily available

Same with craft supplies. Does everyone else’s stuff multiply?

Especially the crayons?

Color

Our pretty tree makes me smile.

Youngest’s Sunflower plant from school. It’s loving the rain.

Garage sales. For us this means $3 rollerblades and a new hobby. They will regularly get shooed outside this week. But the good news is neighbor kids.

Tulips. Spring flowers make me happy.

Also in the arsenal: free roller skating passes, swimming at the Y, play dates, chores, cooking & baking, and camping with friends. Memories and fun, with a bit of work and limited electronics. Bring it on.

Is this week Break for you, too? How is your Spring going?
