It has been a pretty crazy spring around here with lots of activities. There has been the normal daily busyness along with the various special activities which I may or may not have mentioned here before. In my tiredness at the moment, I am not even sure what I have shared previously. Anyway, another program was held today that I can mark off my list. The children's director at our church is retiring, and her "Service Celebration" was today. I was on the planning committee for that, and although it was fairly low key compared to some of the other activities I've had going on, it still took extra time, attention, and focus. Now that it is over, all that is left on my list is summer fun with the kids and Vacation Bible School. VBS is a big one (I actually started planning back in February), it will be nice to have that as my sole "outside" focus for the next six weeks.

So far, so good

Well, we have finished our first week of summer vacation and have managed to survive one another. Now if the kids can all survive the strep throat making its way through our troops, we'll have an even better second week. Even with some illness, we have done some swimming, gone horse back riding, visited with friends (Oops! Hope we didn't get anyone else sick!), been medicating sickos, been watching LOTS of tv, played/watched two baseball games, colored, read, done puzzles, made a trip to the library, played with play-doh, and the most exciting- done the sleeping in thing (well, at least a little bit of sleeping in).

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Today is the last day of school. As of 1:00 this afternoon, my kids are home for the summer, and I am very excited! I can't wait for the fun we can have, and on a more selfish note, I am glad I won't be driving back and forth to school up to three times a day!
