The last week and a half of school kept us on our toes and having lots of fun. The last of volunteering in classrooms, collecting money and deciding on a class gift for K's teacher, filling out paperwork and taking training so I can help at Cub Scout day camp and getting myself a tetanus shot.....
The last full day of school I spent almost the entire day there for watching the older 3 participate in field day and attending N's end of year celebration. I'm so glad the weather was more cooperative this year and that my dad could come with me -- the only day he had off work that week. It meant a lot to the children and into have him there.
The last day of school included taking in the class gift, bringing the requested Chick-Fil-A to the all school picnic, and wishing and thanking teachers and wondering about next year. By the time the children had been home for two hours I could tell we needed a trip to Target to stop the boredom! We purchased an inflatable pool and skateboards for all the children and I haven't heard the children complain they were bored again! Thank you, Husband, for understanding why I spend all your money! When he got home he simple said, "Summer is more expensive than the school year, isn't it?" Yep! Just wait til we get started!
The day after we had play dates with the O. family -- good, cheap fun! I had the 7 and 8-year-olds and we had a blast, including earning D and B the Bear fishing belt loop, crawdad fishing at a park, and visiting the humane society. D and M we're all ready to go with Dad to the pack fishing derby on Saturday morning after our family enjoyed a couple high school graduation parties the night before. Remind me to rent a really big bouncy castle when my children graduate!
P.S. Our garage door looked like a total loss and the company only had a 2 year warranty on it. My awesome Hubby fixed it himself for a fraction of the cost of a professional! Thanks for spending a Saturday being Mr. Fix-It, hon!
