The End of School Year

Only 7 more days left of school. Last year around this time and all through summer we had mild temps. I was hoping for the same this year and my wish came true. Usually around the last 2 weeks of school the kids are bright pink and miserably whinny from the heat. Just leaving the car for 10 minutes to pick the kids up would make the car a miserable 97 degrees or higher. That made a fun ride home. Well not this year again. We have beautiful temps in the 70's and the kids are really enjoying their end of the year activities. Today I worked in Cassie's classroom and helped take down all the kids projects and get things organized for her teacher. This left me a little sad, knowing once again that the kids are leaving their friends for awhile, and the teachers they adore and the fact they are getting older. On the other hand I need a break from the daily routine and am excited to be able to just stay home for awhile soon. That dream might burst too, once the summer activities get going. Well, a girl can dream can't she? Here are a few pics I took today of Lily skating (or at least thinking she is) after I picked her up from her water day at preschool. The other ones of Cassie, I just added also, because they are just so cute. Enjoy your day!
