Spring break this year started with a bang--the bang of my head into concrete while I attempted (for the first time) to roller blade on a half pipe. I wish I could say I was attempting some cool trick, like a back flip, but in reality I was just trying to turn around on the pipe. Lame. In any case, Noah was so proud of me.
Two days after cracking my head open, a picture of Oliver kicking me in the face made the
front cover of the local newspaper. I had taken the kids to open gym at a gymnastics center and a news reporter and photographer were there writing a story about what to do during spring break.
The following day, I took the kids to Nashville, Indiana (15 minutes away) where they got to mine for gemstones. It was a big hit all around and totally worth the $15 I spent on two bags of dirt.
Thursday, we headed an hour southeast to a little town called Madison. We booked a room at
Hillside Inn, where Shirley
McLaine, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra stayed while filming a movie (call us snobs, but we only stay in hotels that have hosted famous people).
our view:
The next morning we played around the town. Oh, did I mention we were with Henry and Ari (and their parents)? This week could not have been better!
this is the oldest formation in the cave--it's over a million years old.
There was even a waterfall IN the cave, which I'm told is pretty rare.
Friday night, we partied on at our house. Gabby got to have a sleep over at the neighbor's house, and Alex and Oliver both got to sleep on a dog house...but more on that in another post.
Yes, this is real. You are looking at Charles M. Schulz's vision come to life in the form of a toddler bed.
I know what you're thinking, "holy @#$% that's awesome." 
If you're wondering where you can get one, you can't, because you didn't marry Noah. I did. And Noah made it.
Yes, I'm aware that my son's pajama top does not match his bottoms. But who cares, he has a Snoopy bed and your kid doesn't.
