Spring Break & St. Patrick's Day

We didn't have any set spring break plans so we made some last minute plans. The Payne boys came over and we had some fun at the house, went to Shamrock for the St. Patrick's Day parade, and the boys went fishing at Skinners.

The boys all paired off and spread out.  It was much needed space outside to talk.

They had some interesting rowing techniques.

The Payne boys love being able to game when they are at our house.

It was freezing this year at the parade.

People (and by people I mean adults) crowed the streets so bad. We weren't entirely sure if those adults were even giving the candy to the kids.  We were trying to keep the kids back, but they weren't able to get anything!

See the writing on the window?  Kenney thought it was funny!

Why are they hugging one another?? Haha!

They all love this part of being together.  It has taken me a while to be ok with gaming, but I've realized that if they enjoy playing these games, who am I to say it's bad or wrong just because I don't like it and I have seen other people get addicted and waste their lives?  They have fun, don't play too much and are learning some skills.  Is Netflix or social media any better??

The boys all went to the track one day to practice.  They had a good time.

Parade fun!!

Mackenzie can't help but dance when she hears music and neither can Damon.
