Oh, we did, we did!!!
I about wore myself silly the past 18 days. We took the boys hiking, and sledding, and swimming, and tubing, and rock climbing/bounce house/minature golfing, and then swimming and back to the bounce house/minature golf place. We watched movies and played games (jacks (in addition to Dungeons and Dragons) was the big game this break) and colored a thousand pictures and drew comics. We did something out of the house and active almost every day. We invited people over and then invited more. We even splurged and went to McDonalds one day and Coldstone (thanks to a gift card) another day.* We took down the Christmas tree and kept up the outdoor lights.
When I asked Christian and Tanner what their favorite thing we did during the break they replied without hesitation, "Movies and candy." At this point I could barely keep my eyes open and I thought, "Really? After all that work and effort we put into entertaining, it was the movies and the candy?"
I would have listed: sleeping in. outdoor adventures. naps. christmas treats. sleeping in. cooking delicious dinners. naps. being routine free. Take away all that sleeping and I guess I'm not much different than my boys. Regardless of our Christmas break preferences, I think the Bacons all had a good time.
*we were lucky to eat, breath, and play with the Speaks family during all these adventures.
