T minus a half hour until the big boys come running...
Welcome summer break! We are so happy you're here!!
Call me crazy, but I can't wait to have my babies home. I'm a homeschooling-mama-wannabe, so the summer offers plenty of opportunities for adventure, learning, and togetherness. These days we are also media-free during the week, so I'm uber-excited for all the little extras we're going to be able to enjoy without the temptation of the computer or TV--lots of reading, enjoying music, playing to our heart's content (even mom!), lego fun, day trips, etc. Add onto all of that our new pool membership to a local community center and we have a recipe for exercise, fun, entertainment, and total summer awesomeness. I can't wait.
Here's a look at our crew this morning, heading off to the last day of school:

| Looking so mature to me these days... ;) |
 |
| You can see that they are almost equal in height (don't remind M!) ;) |
 |
| Here's the farewell committee, cuter than cute. |
 |
| Wouldn't your day be a bit brighter seeing these smiles? |
 |
| Love these lovies more than life! |
 |
| Off they go, one last time. |
We are planning to head to the pool this afternoon for an end-of-school party. It will be crawling with kids and I know my guys are going to have a blast. J wrapped up swim lessons yesterday with a thumbs-up from his teacher and a green ribbon congratulating his hard work. By the lessons' end, he can successfully jump in and flip to his back and float; complete the elements of elementary backstroke; swim freestyle a short distance; and kick with rocket arms to and from the wall and with a kick board. I am amazed at his progress and am so excited for what this means for his fun (and more importantly, SAFE!) summer of swimming. Here are a few shots from lessons...

| This little love had a great time playing |

| And here's the fish--wish I could get the video to upload! Blogger is being difficult. |
Hope your summers are brilliantly in full swing... 6 days until the season officially commences!
God bless,
So fun to see new pics! Excited for M and T as they are heading home NOW!
ReplyDeleteI know media free is better for us all. We all have better attitudes when we turn off the TV, but they just won't leave me alone!! I can't get anything done much less have a complete thought. Ok, rant over.
ReplyDeleteSo impressed with J's swim progress!
Love all the snapshots into your life!
