So Jim just left last night. It's always hard seeing him go and I just wish he'd look for a LAND job already! Money is evil and they just keep giving him raises and it makes it difficult for him to leave the security..
SO anyway his week home flew by! We were so freakin busy it was unreal!
Hannah's birthday party/sleepover was a success! All but 1 girl invited showed up! She got great gifts and just had a rockin time! It was funny to see the girls pair off and split up though LOL. And lorday talk about different personalities! LOL.. BUT overall it was very smooth with NO drama amongst the girls! And there were only 2 injuries on the slip n slide and they happened to my kids LOL (Serena & Hannah) so all was good..
We got Hannah a "Flower Power" cake that was so freakin adorable! They had an old vw bug that you can pull back and let it rip haha. I have loads of pictures but I used my friend's camera and she's been sick so I'm waiting for her to upload those for me! I also got a five minute clip of Landon :-) I'm anxiously waiting! I might go over there today and just do it for her since she's been ill!
Today is the last day of school for the girls! WOOHOO! I'm so excited for summer to begin! Today and tomorrow we're spending spring cleaning so our summer days wont be filled with hours and hours of constantly cleaning since they'll all be home! Then we're also creating a lunch menu and snack menu for them so they don't eat me out of house & home!
We're also going to set up our daily exercise routine so they don't get lazy and of course their daily homework to keep them sharp for next year!
Serena will be joining the 4th & 5th grade Orchestra next year if she gets accepted and we're all totally stoked about that! THe thing is that her grades will have to be kept up, so she needs the extra study time this summer.. Hannah as well to keep her nice and sharp! Hannah almost has a 100% in her math grade but her readings not so good. So while Serena is working on Math, Hannah will be working on her reading this summer.
The time will fly but I want to make the most of the time we have.. Lots of outside fun this summer is my goal! Even on those HOT & extremely muggy/humid days (which is everyday here in the south haha).. No running up the power bill this summer! We're all gonna sweat and LOVE it!
Yep, I'm definitly excited!
Well I better go lay down with Landon and EMily before they wake up too early LOL The early days wont start til this weekend :-) SO I better enjoy my sleepin in til then!
