Spring Break...Kind of...

Clemson University, where I work, was on spring break last week. This means the students were off the entire week while we, the staff, got one day off. Parking was so much better and it sure was quiet, but I was happy to see the little cherubs crossing the quad to get to class this morning. Things are more lively when they're around. Hey, it's why we're here.

Our girls have today off from school, one of those teacher in-service days. So...last Friday we met my parents in Columbia, where they took the girls to their house for a long weekend. There were a few tears from Katie and Sydney, but Sarah would probably move in with my parents if given the opportunity. By Saturday morning, we were a distant memory as golf, swimming and Mimi's make-up filled their day. We talked with them or rather we listened to them as they relived every facet of their day. They love going to Mimi and Papa's house (not sure if it's reciprocated...I'll find out in a few hours when I go to pick them up).

Larry and I had been looking forward to this little break for awhile. We haven't had a "babysitter" since before Christmas. Our big weekend consisted of going out to lunch on Saturday, sleeping in on Sunday and talking about how much we missed the girls. It was so nice to have a conversation with him and not be interuppted by "Mommy, mommy, mommy!" We enjoyed a few hours extra sleep, but just like the students, it's so much livelier with our little cherubs around.
