Still here cleaning

I know you are all wondering how I am living in my half clean house!  I was having Spring Break fever or envy, and convince Rob mid-week that we should take advantage of his status as self employed.  I booked a night at Adventureland Inn, and he took Thursday morning off to play with us!  If anyone is looking for a get away, it was pretty reasonable for one night, plus they have $30 of coupons on the website.  We left Wednesday afternoon around 4:45 and headed for DSM.  We ate at the restaurant connected to the Bass Pro Shop, nothing fancy, but lots to look at.  I would recommend the Hot Donut Holes for dessert, it came with raspberry dipping sauce.   After dinner we went to check into our room and get suited up.  Adventureland Inn has three indoor pools and two hot tubs, one pool has zero depth entry, a kiddie slide, and a couple of fountains.  After we swam it was time to try bedtime.  We have been pretty lucky in our recent hotel stays to always have a suite, meaning we can shut the door to the kids and not have to go to bed at 7:00 ourselves.  This was our first stay in one room as a family of five.  It was interesting, we managed, I don't know if we all got quality sleep.  We were able to tuck Noelle's crib near the bathroom in this little half walled area, she couldn't see the kids, and went right to sleep.  We put Dallas and Emily each in one of the queen beds.  Most rooms at this hotel come with a private balcony.  This was the fun part.  We had a redbox movie, a laptop, two headphones, a jack splitter, and some red vines!  There was a sliding glass door from our room to the balcony that over looked the pool.  We headed out with our movie, with the kids tucked inside sleeping!  We swam more in the morning, and we were back in Ames and routine by 11:30.  Fun times.
I did clean my closet and the van before we left on Wednesday.  Thursday afternoon we recouped and then met friends to play outside in the wonderful weather.
Friday we took Grandma too the library and out to lunch, but I did not clean.  Saturday Rob took the kids for donuts, and cleaned out the garage.  We went to get the Chevelle and bring it home.  The Chevelle, Rob, Greg, and Greg's truck are readying for a trip to New Mexico this week!
