Today marks the first day of Spring Break for my girls. It turned out to be a nice day outside. It rained and thundered yesterday, so I am glad to see the sky.

Everyone but DH slept in this morning. We got up, had breakfast, got dressed and headed to the YMCA so Mommy could workout. It was both girls' first time in "The Ark" - the Child Watch Center at our Y.

I was afraid Katie would be really, really bored since she is 9. But, as soon as we got there, one of the workers was taking the older kids out to play and snagged her to go with them.

This made Amanda a bit sad, because I think she thought she and Katie were going to be together. But, she went on in the room with the other kids, clutching her bear Blueberry in one arm.

I headed on down to start my workout. After I got done with the treadmill, I went to log my time in. As I turned around, I saw one of the other preschool Mommies on one of the weight machines.

We talked a bit, and she was so excited to know Amanda was in the Ark. Her son, Jason was there as well - and Jason and Amanda ADORE one another.

I finished my workout, and went to get the girls. Katie had made a picture, and they both got to play outside. We stopped by the front desk to get a schedule for open swim this afternoon.

They have chores to do before I will relent and head back there for swimming. Actually, I am awaiting a response from my husband as to whether or not we can go to see Meet The Robinsons this afternoon. We can swim any day, and Katie has been wanting to see this movie.

So, my evil plan for this week is to require my slave labor to do their chores before anything remotely fun happens. Life is tough when you are home with Mommy all the time!
