March break was great this year! In addition to
my birthday and regular weekly activities (groceries, workouts, cleaning), we spent lots of time relaxing at home, doing puzzles, going sledding, and having a couple of playdates. No major plans, which is what we like best.

The girls got into the face paint too
The one organized activity we signed the girls up for was a March break program called "Snot & Whatnot" at the
Museum of Health Care. It was a 2-hour, hands-on, family-friendly event where we learned some medical history and neat facts. It wasn't as good as we expected, but interesting nonetheless.

Lastly the girls wanted to try bunk beds
again, so we took the opportunity to do a major clean-up of Jessi's room before setting up the beds.
What a mess!

Emily created a 'fort' out of her new empty space
Good night?
As usual the bunk beds didn't last more than a couple of days (and Emily didn't sleep a single night in the bed), so by the end of March break everyone was back in their rooms, with a bit of furniture rearrangement instead.

Emily really wanted to keep the 'fort' she created in the corner of her room, so we found a way to make it work!
New bed/couch placement
The girls are happy to be back at school and I'm enjoying getting back into our routines. It's crazy to think that there are only three months left of school before summer break!
