Spring Break 2014 - Tulsa Aquarium

In addition to Katie's haircut and ear piercing and our random acts of kindness, we did squeeze in a bit more fun!

Hope you're ready for lots of pictures!

At the kids request (much to my delight), we spent some time relaxing.  With school, sports, youth group, boy scouts, etc, life is busy and we were all happy to just chill a little!  Plus, I am always happy to enjoy some Konny snuggles!

Katie spent lots of time with our new Rainbow Loom.

Messy is always necessary, so we had some easy to make homemade play dough!

Of course, we drove through Starbucks!

I made a little extra room in my coffee/tea cabinet.  I condensed a dz boxes of tea down down to two baskets!  Eric is happier now that they're not falling out on him when he opens the door!

Poor Remington's spring break wasn't as much fun.  He was neutered, microchipped and had multiple puppy teeth extracted.

Finally, we went to the went to the Tulsa Aquarium! 

Katie had been eager for a long time to see sharks and was so excited to be there.  She had her hand in the water every chance she got!

We left early that morning and made it back just in time to watch the WSU game.  It was a fun end to a great week!

Random Acts of Kindness, Spring Break Style

I loooove random acts of kindness!  Katie and I had a great time doing them for my 32nd birthday.

Nothing makes it more fun than when the kids join in!  We decided over spring break we wanted to try to get at least one random act of kindness in everyday.  We weren't able to do all we wanted but it was still super fun and a good reminder that we need to try harder to incorporate this into our lives on a more regular basis.

We taped a bag of microwave popcorn up at the RedBox in town.

We took some coffee to the fire dept.

Gave a bag of candy to some city workers who were repairing the street.  I love that Kelton had no reservations to hop out of the van and give it to them.

Dropped off pudding cups for some little friends who had their tonsils out and needed soft yummy foods.

Coloring books and crayons to leave in the Dr's office.

We took donuts to our Veterinarian's office.  They were so kind when we had to put Jasmine down, so it was something we should have done long ago.

I made a goodie bag of allergy friendly treats for a boy from church who has developed a severe nut allergy.  My kids don't know eating any differently than they do, but I can't imagine being 16 and having to completely alter your lifestyle.

Even though the week ended before we got in all our random acts of kindness, the kids had lots of fun thinking up different ideas.  This will be a great activity to extend into summer!

You can find great little printable cards HERE and HERE for random acts of kindness.  I always have some of these in my purse for the when opportunity arises!
