**SpRiNg BrEaK!**

So today marked the 1st official day of spring break and the eve of our spring season.  It was fitting that it rained on and off all day starting at 11:00am and projected to continue to rain for the rest of the week...boo.  As gloomy as today was, it was still productive in the Jackson home.

Cambry and I woke up to Daddy making breakfast. Sausage and egg burritos hit the spot and started the day off right! I love my husband! We then decided to head into Lawrence. First, we accomplished a 3-round bath fest - Mommy, Cambry, then Daddy. We packed up the necessities and headed towards town.
Stop 1 - Home Depot (1 of our favorite stores). We bought some river rock on sale to finish off the front walkway. We also purchased a wonderful shrub to replace our depressing brown stick that remained of the one we planted last year. Hopefully planting earlier will give it a fighting chance! Lastly, we looked into our next outdoor project: fire pit in the backyard! What a better way to hang out with friends and family on summer nights!
Stop 2 - Macxperts. We bought iPhones and in hope of getting some assistance, failed. This store is more for Mac computers.  Why can't Lawrence have a true Apple Store?? Aren't there enough Mac owners and Apple users in this college town??
Stop 3 - Orschlen's. We stopped to check out fire pit rings. That was unsuccessful as well, however, we did discover Cambry's love for baby chicks.  Do I sense an Easter gift?? She watched amazed by the little guys and quite smitten. I don't know if they felt the same way with the banging on the cage and finger pokes through the wires...maybe another time???
After the not-so eventful trip to Lawrence, we headed back to Baldwin. We did decide to stop and get a couple movies to fill our rainy day time with. Real Steel, despite how it may sound was a hit with the whole family! The Big Year...not so much.
To occupy my need for moving around, project Deep Spring Clean-Out began!  I was able to part with a full tote of Cambry's clothes, still keeping 1 full tote. We also decided to donate a trash bag of miscellaneous toys and other baby things.  It felt good to make a little room for what is coming on Saturday for Little Misses Big Birthday Blowout! Tomorrow - I tackle our bedroom and possibly the playroom closet.  We will see.  It is definitely time to at least say good-bye to the big sweaters and hello to the little camis! YAY spring!!

Although this was not an exciting post, I do enjoy sharing it.
