Great weekend!



Iknow I'm going to get in trouble for this, but I didn't get my camera out much this weekend. We were having too much fun!

Friday was the last day of school! The kids were so excited. Their class had a pizza party and we got to spend time with a lot of the parents. After eating we played on the playground. Here are a few from the party.

I love this one I guess because it is random.



Here is our beloved Ms. Hunt. She is going to work with Nick once a week this summer. We will miss her greatly in 1st grade. She has been wonderful to all of us. She has really taken Nick under her wing and he has a very special bond with her. They know they will have a new teacher in the fall, but I don't know if they completely understand.

Ok the left pic are these really great shelves I scored at a yard sale of a preschool that is closing. (Leslie worked there this year). I have been looking for something like this forever. They were to expensive to buy new so when I saw these I had to have them.

Yes they were orange and now they are not. I got one for each room. This is the after. Caroline chose to paint hers pink and this is what it looks like in her room. I love them. The plan is to put a pillow on top and make a window seat out of half. Nick chose red. We are in the process of painting one wall in his room and the shelf. We are making room to hang new pictures Aunt Mel painted for him for his birthday. I will show you them after we are finished. They are really cool.

Here are the other pics of Caroline's clean redecorated room. The butterfly picture above her bed was her birthday present from Aunt Mel. It matches perfect. I am planning on hanging pictures in white frames above her dresser/fish tank. And a bulletin board above her desk when I find a cool one. I also want an area rug for the floor. I like one I saw at Target. Also new curtains. I think she has outgrown the nursery ones.
We started our weekend out at the pool. I'm a little gun shy taking my electronics out after loosing so many in the water last year. I didn't get any pictures of the kids swimming but I will this week. The water was freezing, but they jumped right in. After swimming for a little while they would get out and wrap up in a towel shivering. Kind of crazy. We went back on Sunday morning and stayed until around 2:00 and Monday we went even though it looked like rain. We were there a couple hours it rained twice, but they got to stay in the pool bc there were no storms.
We took today off from the pool and worked around the house. Trying to get the shelves painted so I can get the garage cleaned out again. Right now you can't even walk through it.
Caroline started gymnastics today and yes I forgot my camera. I will get pictures next week. She looked like such a natural and she loved it. Nick and I got to watch from upstairs and she was all smiles. Nick chose to try tennis this summer. We are going to take a little break from ball. We talked about trying something new to see if he liked it. No I'm not discouraging him from baseball, but the Y league is not the same as what he is doing now or fall ball so we are not going to do it this year. So I thought he should take the opportunity to try something new. Sounds good doesn't it? We'll see if he agrees.
That is about all that is going on here. Excited to get our summer underway and enjoy the kids being home. Hope all is well!
