Today is the last day of school. Let the craziness begin! No, it really won't be that bad. I am so happy to have a neighborhood pool just down the street that I can take the kids to any time. The kids are so excited to have an extended break. We have about 3 weeks extra time this summer because the school year is being pushed back. In the fall, though, Brandon will be in 3rd grade, Kate in 2nd, and Megan in kindergarten! I will have 3 kids in school and only 1 at home. Anyway, in a couple of weeks we are excited to make our trek up to Utah to be with all of our family. We have some run reunions going on at Snowbird and Zion National Park. Then Ben will have to fly home to work and the kids and I are going to hang out at Grandpa and Grandma's house taking swimming lessons, going for hikes, picnics, movies, and just having fun. It's a big bummer that Ben won't be able to stay with us. I am very glad that he can spend the first 2 weeks with us, though. Hopefully the drive will be ok. We just bought a van! We traded in our lovely '99 Windstar and got an '03 Odyssey. It's white and has gray leather interior, power sliding doors, and a built-in DVD player. The seats are nice and roomy and comfy and the kids love driving in it. It used to be the favorite thing to ride in Daddy's car instead of the van, but now they always want to be in the van! LOL!
Lst night was Brandon's first Scout Pack Meeting. I had to be at my Faith in God activity night down the hall, but Ben was able to be in there. They did a Regatta so Brandon had to make the boat. Slacker parents didn't get around to helping him until Wednesday morning. I forgot to help him glue the sail onto the dowel so when he tried to blow it in the race the sail just kept flipping around. We'll know better next time! Here's a pic of our little scout:
Well, I just found out Ben is on his way home from work not feeling well so I'll sign off now. Hopefully he can sleep it off.
