Spring Break Means Work Harder

Last week was Spring Break for us and I must admit I was a little afraid at the prospect of having 9 days with both my kids at home all day with 'nothing' to do. But as it turned out we had an incredible break I just had to work a little harder both at home and professionally.
I decided to make the most of our time together so the kids and I repainted Leah's room...what an adventure that turned out to be. I think we ended up with more paint on us then the walls did and Dillon's hair now has a permanent pink streak down the side of his head but we sure had fun and the kids learned how to paint. It may not be the perfect paint job but we created some wonderful memories. (I will have to touch up the room when the kids are out of town at Grandma's next time).
Leah and Dillon had to come to the gym with me multiple times throughout the break. As many of you already know I teach between 3-4 fitness classes per week but over Spring Break many of my colleagues are out of town so I had the 'opportunity' to teach all of their classes as well. I taught one class called Maxed Out, it is a really high intensity strength class that is really intimidating because there are around 50 participants that attend. I was really nervous but it went really well, aside from the fact that I couldn't walk for the next two days. It was nice having the kids with me especially because they were happy to come.
To reward the kids for their hard work at home and with me at the gym I drove them to meet Grandma and they stayed with her for a couple of days where I am sure they got all the spoiling they deserved.
It was a great Spring Break and I am sad that it is over but now I know what to look forward to once summer comes!
