Spring Break

We had a quiet spring break this year. I took vacation to be off with Susan and the boys and we stayed home for a change. Susan spent a couple of days shopping with friends in Houston and Eric played at home with an assortment of buddies who came over to play from time-to-time. We did a lot of spring cleaning and continued our ongoing project of reorganizing cabinets and closets. We have now completed every room in the house except the Library/Game Room and the boy’s rooms, which we will tackle last. The biggest job over the break was the kitchen, where we purged an amazing amount of stuff. It is so much nicer now and easier to work in.

Alex had a couple of day-trips to the beach for surfing on his Uncle Steven’s newly refurbished surf board. When he wasn’t working, he spent his days surfing and driving up and down the beach looking for school friends who were spending spring break at the beach with their families. This was his first Spring Break with his own vehicle. He was in heaven until his car broke down and he had to leave it for repair. He was out of a car for the balance of the break, while I was out $545.00 for a new radiator, idle pulley and belt-tensioner. Bummer.
