Almost done..

16 more days until school is out!! Lots of the ones left are field days, and some fun things. That certainly helps. I've got midget signed up for her horse camp again. I still need to pick a week for monkey to go to skate camp. They are just day camps, not overnight yet :)
Midget's recital is coming up on june 26th. She is so excited, it's just darn cute. Her new school is so different than her others. You can tell this teacher has been around alot longer. At her other school we always were saying wouldn't it be great if they had a dvd we could get, so the girls could practice at home... Well her new school does, so great. Plus we got her the tshirt, and she is thrilled! It has the name of the recital, and then on the back, get ready.. it has their names. It says cast, and then list all the girls names. You know it's the little things like that, they really do make a big difference! She has never had her name on the back of a shirt. Well, it's bedtime, and the kids are reading our student encyclopedias, maybe i should let them stay up. I wonder if i put them under their pillows, if they could learn by osmosis? Might need to try that :)

He cracks me up...

This kid cracks me up...

Mother's day

Well, it's been a long week. Why isn't it the end of may yet? We had a nice mother's day. The kids did their best to make it a relaxing day. They got me a new charm for my bracelet, and made me breakfast in bed. It's so cute to watch them work together trying to make it all perfect. The hubby got me my kindle. I had wanted an ipad, but after he pointed out all it does the kindle was a better choice. I hate it when he does that.. The ipad would be so fun :) The kindle is really neat though. I do love it so much. Technology is just amazing these days!
The garden is starting to sprout things. We've gotten a few cherry tomatos. There are flowers on the cucumbers. THe kids are counting down for the end of the year, and so am I. There is also the countdown for dad. I'm not sure who is counting on that one more, me or them.. or dad for that matter :)
He still hasn't caved on our easy-set pool. If i wasn't such a nice wife, i would get it anyway. Which is still an option.... As the kids get out of school i'm thinking it will be a bigger option, I figure 3 days into the summer the "i'm bored's" will start.

festivities

Ah, mother's day. The kids fighting over the wrappting paper, who gets to hold the tape, and why one got to wrap more than the other. Really?? So, each has their own gift to give now. How relaxing is that? How about for mother's day all kids under 18 take a vow of silence? Or maybe, a vow of saying nothing but nice things, and yes and no mam. I like that.
My mother-in-law sent me the neatest thing ever. An edible bouquet. Now that is a smart flower arrangement. The kids of course were fighting over the chocolate strawberries. They were yummy though. So, tomorrow i was ordered to stay in bed, so they could make breakfast in bed. I convinced them frozen waffles are my favorite :) They get annoyed because i don't sleep late, i can't. So when i get up at 7, they are asleep. So am i supposed to sit there, and wait? In there minds, yes. Happy Mothers's Day...
I shaLL however, love my handmade cards, all the kisses, and the effort they will put into not fighting... and my gift from James Avery, that i didn't see them buy. Nor will i complain that they tried to buy it in silver instead of gold. Thus so they could keep the change and split it :) I love my kids.. and the fact that hubby knew they would try to keep the change.

Water fun...

It was definately warm enough to play in some water this weekend. We went the easy route with the slip n slide. They had to have the double lane one to race. It was so funny!! There is a little velcro flag that the winner grabs. When the one person slides across the water squirts the other. So funny, they were full on into the competitive mode. I think it is so funny the look on midget's face. She sticks her tongue out when she is concentrating. I guess she was!!

Monkey's Video
