Spring Break- Blessing or Curse?

Well, it's that time of year again.. Spring Break. At the beginning of March, I start getting really excited about it and thinking about all the time I will get to spend with my kids and all the fun things we will get to do. But then about half way through Spring Break, I find myself itching for it to be over! Not that I don't enjoy the time with kids, but with a very active 6 year old, it takes a LOT to entertain her!! 
We started off this years SB with a trip to Austin for a wedding, which was nice except for the weather. Rain, thunder, lightning... ugh! But the wedding was wonderful and we really enjoyed seeing our family. Luckily when we came home, the rain had passed and it has really only been overcast the last couple of days.  On Monday, I had heard that a guy we watch on tv was going to be at the Museum promoting his film on tornadoes and had his special Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV) out front for everyone to see! I was VERY excited about this!! So my mom and I took Makayla and she really enjoyed the whole experience. Although, I think she was a little disappointed that the dinosaurs were not real in the museum! Ha! Today is Tuesday and we went to the movies with a friend and her little girl and had a wonderful time! The girls are so cute together and were dancing at the end of the movie. So adorable! We are planning to go to the zoo on Friday, but other than that.. I've got nothing! Also, we do have to watch our money, I mean we are trying to move in May/June! I am hoping I can survive the next several days and keep Makayla entertained! If you have any fun (and cheap) ideas, please pass them along!! :-)
