Summer 2014

I am going to TRY to post about what we do every day this summer. I might skip some days and catch up later, but we'll see how long I last. Here we go...

Day 0: Thursday, June 12 -- This was the last day of school for the girls, and my last day with students. Here's a picture of the first day of school this year and the last day.

Midway through the day, I got a call from a friend of mine whose kids go to school with the girls to tell us they had rented a limo for us to ride in after school, along with another family we love hanging out with. Awesome! We rode around and took the kids to Orange Leaf and Greenfield Park.

Day 1: I had a teacher work day, so the girls and Jayson worked on cleaning up the house and the yard for our outdoor movie night. We had the two families over who had been on the limo ride with us and it worked out perfectly. The adults sat around the fire pit and the kids cuddled up on the patio and we watched The Sandlot. A perfect movie to kick off the summer with!

Day 2: I spent most of the day participating in the graduation ceremony, which I love doing. After I got home and relaxed, we went to Polish Fest. The girls loved the dancers the best.

Day 3: Father's Day! I made breakfast (Jayson made the coffee), and then we spent the whole day getting things done around the house. I cleaned and organized the girls' bedrooms, the playroom, and some of the basement. Jayson got our new rain barrels and compost bin set up. The girls ran around getting filthy dirty.
