Done

Finally, I am back.  I think I committed myself to way too much during the last few months.  I will need to start using the word "no" a little more.  I still have a few more things to wrap up but for the most part all major events are over.  Yes, just a little tired.

The big boys last day of school was Friday.  The last three days of school were only half days.  They did not do much at school this last week.  A lot of cleanup and watching movies.  Friday was the 4th grade picnic.  There were two of us responsible for putting it together.  Actually, there were 2 other people who signed up to help and neither one did much to help us.  So we did it all.  My friend put the games together.  It was a minute to win it picnic.  We had 14 games and the kids loved it.  It was a great way to finish up 4th grade!

The boys had another great quarter.  They both had great teachers.  They brought home straight A's.  I am so proud of them.

Tee still has another 3 days of preschool left, but his graduation was held on Friday.  I still have not downloaded pictures.  Graduation was held Friday evening at the church.  The kids did a few songs and then were presented with their diplomas.  We took him out to dinner to celebrate.  He was so excited.

The husband's dad and his wife planned a visit up this past weekend and were here to attend the graduation.  Nice to have extended family here to help us celebrate. They have played a little bit of golf and were able to see the older boys play baseball. 

We have 2 regular season games left.  Do you hear the excitement in my voice?  The boys are off next weekend.  Then they will have the end of season tournament the following weekend. The last weekend of June is one last tournament.  We will then have a break for a while.  Looking forward to a bit of a break.

Not only did I plan the 4th grade picnic, I agreed to help my friend with a neighborhood homeowner's picnic.  I am not sure why I said yes.  I had to go from one picnic on Friday to another one on Saturday.  It wasn't a ton of planning but still took time out of my weekend to help set up and clean up.  It is unfortunate because the picnic are not well attended.  I did have to sit through the annual HOA meeting.  At the end they were looking for volunteers to sit on the board.  I made sure I did not volunteer myself for anything.  Maybe I am learning.

The husband is off of work this week.  This is his staycation week.  I have a lot of projects on my list and just maybe he can help me with them.  But I am sure that the week will fly by and we won't get much  done.

So I hope to be back here more often this summer.  There is so much to write.  I hope to get a lot accomplished this week.
