First day of spring...break

Yesterday was the first day of spring and today is the kids' first day of their spring break. So far it hasn't been that peachy. Bryn was sickly yesterday but seems but better today. And the wind is blowing so fiercly outside that we cant even see the bluffs in the distance, nothing but a brownish haze of dirt clouds. Its so nasty. So we braved it to get out of the house for a bit and we went to Furr's Cafeteria to eat some lunch. There is a story behind why we eat at Furr's. My dad LOVES to eat there. Every time he comes to town, the kids automatically know that we will eat there. Well about a year and a half ago my dad thought it would be funny to give the kids a 500 dollar gift card to eat there. Of course they thought it was the coolest thing ever. When we finally got it all used, my dad went and bought us another one! So far it has taken us over a year to finish using that one. The kids all like that they can choose what they want and they can even have a dessert. We don't go out often all six of us because it is so expensive, so its great that we can take all the kids and know its paid for. Thanks Dad for your generous gift to us.
So that's what we have done so far today, I know pretty exciting huh:)

So when you guys walk in, they call you out by name, instead of "Norm"! . . . they shout out, "MITCH !" !!!!!!
