Schools OUT for the summer!

That's right! It is officially summer break - although with the temperature at 50 it really doesn't feel like summer break! Might I just say that this week has been one that wore me out, so I am really ready for a break - at least a break from getting every one up and out the door in the morning! Time to spend hunting turtles, playing in the backyard until late, biking around with neighborhood kids, playing ball, scooping pig poo, and perfecting our diving abilities at the city pool!
On the last day of preschool at Jumpstart, they always have "Big Wheel Day" - Quincy was a little disappointed that it had to be held indoors this year (thank goodness for the gym at the Methodist church!). The only difference in having it indoors was that there was no bike wash - which is always such a big hit with the kids! Quincy had purposefully gotten her bike dirty so she could wash it! I promised her as soon as the weather is above 80 again we will wash it in the driveway! She had a marvelous time today!

I am a little sad that I don't have any kids to send to Jumpstart next year....it is such a fabulous program! Ms. Becky and Ms. Dana do a wonderful job of teaching the kids all sorts of stuff, getting them ready for school, teaching them fun bible stories, and doing all sorts of awesome crafts! I guess if I wait a couple of years they will take Harper!




Thursday evening the girls finished up their JV softball season. They won one and lost one. They like playing, but are taking the summer off, so this was their final game of the year. I enjoyed the season!

Colin also finished up his track season, but since his regional meet fell on the same evening as the visitation for grandma, we did not attend the meet. He did really well, and lettered in track. He said that he was happy to be finished with the season though....mostly because it is cutting into his fishing time!
