I guess I have been on a little sabbatical from blogging.  No real reason other than time or lack there of.  I have been a little busy and now I am gearing up for the end of the school year. 

A few weekends ago, my MIL came for a visit.  We ended up going to the beach for a long weekend as the boys were out of school.  The weather didn't exactly cooperate with us but we managed to have a nice weekend.  The beach was a bit cold but the boys had a great time digging holes and playing baseball.  It is early in the season so people were very scarce.  It was a nice little get-a-way.  We are fortunate to be fairly close to the shore.

Baseball is consuming much of our time although we have had several rain outs.  The boys are participating in a tournament this weekend.  Well, actually it is a tournament that we are putting on so that means lots of work for the parents on the team.  Should be an interesting weekend.

I have been helping out at the boys' school.  This year the boys did biographies for their books.  They have written books each year here.  It is really neat.  They write then it gets typed.  The typed pages are cut and pasted in a book and then they draw pictures.  Then there is a tea where the kids get to read their books to parents.  Such a cool program.  But I can't tell you how many books I assembled.  I was doing them in the evenings at home.  Glad that is over with.

I am planning the end of the year picnic for 3rd grade.  I am feeling just a little pressure to make sure everything gets done.  Lots to do between now and June 10th.

The weather has been really lousy lately.  Rain Rain and more Rain.  Usually it would not be a bid deal.  But it has caused pool issues for us.  The pool needs a little work done.  In order to get the work done it needs to be dry for a few days straight.  The pool has to be drained in order to get resurfaced and needs a day to dry.  It is memorial day weekend.....time for swimming.  And our pool may not be done this week.  ugh!

We did go out with some friends this past weekend to an annual event called Wine in the Wo@ds.  You were able to do many wine tastings and have lots of food.  They also had lots of crafty items to purchase.  We brought some seats and just hung out for a bit did a little wine tasting and ate a bit.  It was a fun event but next time we would plan much differently. 

So all is well and I will be happy when things slow down a bit.
