Great Weekend.......

We had a great weekend....felt strange to have the kids have their last day of school today. Whoever planned the school district calendar, could have made it a Friday, but something possessed them to have it a Monday...so off they went today. Not a very important day..just watching movies, playing outside.....but still, they love school, they have great friends & amazing teachers.

Weekend was great!! Friday night just relaxed with a movie....not exciting to some but given that K and I rarely see each other with his crazy work load lately, it was nice to just plunk ourselves in front of the TV. Saturday was just a day doing stuff around the house...B had a birthday party to go to so she was gone for a bit...she had a blast. K and I went over to some friends house on Saturday night with some other friends....had way to much fun! We are blessed to have amazing friends - they love us for who we are...we cant say that about everyone in our lives.
Sunday we slept in, had a great breakfast and just spent the day together....perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday =)

No Drama For Me Please


....that's right, I am removing myself from the 'drama train' and would actually appreciate it if people tried and stirred it up with someone else. I'm not taking the bait. I could really care less. Complaining about being stressed all the time but trying to cause drama and wasting most of your time being a gossip...I'm sure anyone can see how that can be fixed. So, I'll not be participating in your drama.

Now on to happier things.....today is the 2nd last day of school. Woot Woot!! Very much looking forward to some sleeping in and lazy days in the sun with my kids, hubby and fabulous friends! Brooklyn finished playschool....which means that we are now a 'playschool free' household. It was a little teary for me....I've had kids in playschool there with those teachers for 3 years....so it was a little sad to say goodbye. But on to bigger and better things.

Zachary is going to do kindergarten again. With the rocky start he had from Sept - January in this year of kindergarten with his 'twitches' and getting his meds straight, I thought it sort of unfair to shove him into 1st grade just to have him struggle. So, he and Brooklyn will do the rest of their grades together....hopefully being able to keep them in separate classes.

Summer should be great......it will either be very relaxing - or we could have a big change coming that would make it a bit busy - but very exciting. Stay tuned!

It's Almost Time.......


Well finally we have some decent weather....although the weather lately is giving me whiplash. It was gorgeous last weekend, which ended up in us finally getting our backyard fence painted & the grass cut. Looks much better! Then we had a rainy week...but it cleared up again by Thursday...just in time for the boys to do their paper route on Thursday evening, Cole to go to his Cub camp all weekend and the rest of us to have a fabulous weekend in the yard. Yesterday the kids just played in the sprinkler...this morning, I "a.k.a. Super Mom", ran into town and bought a small pool...made their day! I've graduated from lobster red to firetruck red....which is always my intent as in a couple of days it will go a wonderful sun kissed golden brown =) But now, just like last week, we are back to rain tomorrow - which is great for the grass, trees, gardens blah blah - but I'd rather see the sun!

There are only 2 more weeks of school left. Normally this is when I start getting a little bit slower in the mornings, wanting to stay up later at night, wanting to just be done and looking forward to summer break. This year, due to some upcoming changes, it's going to be a crazy summer. Some people know of what I'm referring to ....the rest of you will know in good time. Nothing bad - dont panic. But...it's almost time!
