This week my kids are on their second week of spring break. I am running a spring break camp at the school. All five of us are dragging our sleepy butts out of bed at 7am every morning to come and play for ten hours a day. Many parts of me are wondering what the heck i was thinking spending long days taking care of 12 children.
But, when we roll in to bed completely exhausted at 8 pm and sleep soundly i know we are having great days.
It is a good reminder for me, looking after other children. It reminds me that my children are just as happy, and in many ways happier, than other kids. They have their little quirks. But they are filled with challenges, love and activity. They are great little humans who are confidant about their places in the world.
There are better ways we could spend our break. We could be in hawaii. But this place? The school they are completely comfortable at, surrounded by friends and wide open fields? This is perfect childhood bliss for them.

Sounds like the perfect spring break to me. But Really? Two whole weeks of spring break? Kudos to you, I barely survived our one week here, and we only had one extra kid over.
