School's Out for Summer!

I am proud to introduce............

the second grader in the house!  C had a wonderful year in first grade, and we gave him a new scooter for working so hard all year.

I am also proud to introduce the high school freshman in the house.  Yikes!


We gave T this world pin because he is traveling with People to People this summer and they all wear lanyards and collect pins from the countries they visit.


Today was the last day of school for the boys, but I have to include R, so here is the Kindergartener:


To celebrate the last day of school, we completed a task from our Summer Bucket List - we made homemade lemonade!



To make it extra special, I wet the rims of the glasses (with lemonade) and pressed them into colored sugar (pink for R, green for C).  I also added umbrellas because those little umbrellas just make beverages so special!


C's front tooth is SO wiggly!

R loves the way the sugar looks, but she would never put her mouth on such sweetness.  She chose a straw!!!

Welcome to summer!  Forget about the fact that it is only 65 degrees right now.

What a great way to kick off summer. My girls would just love sugar rimmed glasses of lemonade. Such a great idea.

Good luck to your eldest, the world traveler!

All of your kids seem to be at milestone ages, well, C, is going to be in 2nd grade, I guess not techically a 'milestone age', but he is so smart and so hardworking that every grade should be a milestone for him :-).

I did not realize T was going to be a FRESHMAN!! WOW! I knew he was turning 14, but it didn't sink in till this post. I hope he has a blast traveling.

OK, LOL about 'she would never put her mouth on such sweetness'! I cannot believe she seriously doesn't like sweets! Unfortunately, no one here seems to have that problem. Wish we did.

Enjoy your summer! Have a blast enjoying every second of it till your sweet baby comes in the Fall. You've got lots of special times ahead to look forward to.

Wow a high schooler! That has got to be a weird feeling.

They're all getting so grown up, how does that happen? :P

Sort of different having a high schooler :) And, soon you get to add another little face to the line-up. How cool is that!

Congratulations to C and T! And now you get to repeat it all again with a baby girl! I am excited for your family. Enjoy your summer.
