I ♥ Spring Break.

I could have been a Drill Sergeant in the Army, (if I could stand people hollering orders all day) because I am very regimented, very. This house has a routine and 99% of the time we stick to it. Ask me what I am doing on a particular day at a particular time and I can probably tell you. I love organization, love self discipline and am really OCD. All that said I am unabashedly gleeful about Spring Break . I love having both girls home, I love the fact that things can meander along at a slower pace but more than anything I love being able to be out and about with them during the week.

First thing this morning we took Rosie for a haircut. She has horrible hair, it's fine, thin and gets itself into a woozle every single night whilst she sleeps. The only way we can tame the beast is to keep it short.

A quick blow dry
I love it. Rosie doesn't, she says, "it is too short, like a boys!"

I had mine cut yesterday the same length so that must make 2 boys.

The weather turned cooler again last week and it is perfect so we choose to spend the afternoon at one of our favourite parks.

A highlight of a trip to the Grove, A.C's Icee's

Throwing a tiny coconut into the bay
weeeeeeeeeeeeee
Driving home we passed a roundabout with these enormous giant snails on. This roundabout used to have the most beautiful statue of an old fashioned, worn out, work boot. Not sure who the genius was who chose to replace it with these chaps.


Perhaps the idea is to make you slow down like a snail and take in the beauty of your surroundings.
We did just that.
