Laura and I came directly home after I picked her up from school today.  Tomorrow is her “birthday” at school.  Since she has a summer birthday, she could choose a day to do birthday treats to celebrate her birthday.  We made homemade sugar cookies with pink frosting.  She insisted that we make 22 for her class and four for the Unit A teachers.  She has already informed me that she will pass out the treats to her classmates.  Then, she will eat her cookie and we can deliver the remaining three cookies to the other Unit A teachers.  She’s a little planner just like her Mom…

We asked John what they did on the Gymnastics Express bus today.  Without missing a beat, he said, “Cried.”  Knowing our boy, it’s got to be true!

Check one more item off my “To Do List.”  The office is clean!  It was no small feat, let me tell you….  I went through three washcloths while dusting due to all the pollen!  It’s done and it looks great!  Bring on two weeks of company!

What do you do on a 90+ degree, “summer” day in May?  Dig out the kiddie pool and let them play!

Tonight, Andy and I went to Paul and Theresa Musket’s 25th Wedding Anniversary Party.  What a fun night!  They are such a fun-loving couple and we were happy to be part of their anniversary celebration.  We got to see some great friends, eat some great food, dance a little, and just relax.  We came home with original napkins and matchbooks from their wedding.  It was a really fun night and exactly what we needed.  Thanks Jenna for “babysittering” the kids for us so we could have a night out!

On the spur of the moment, we invited our neighbors up the street to hang out for a while last night.  Bobby and Crystal came down with their two daughters, Chloe and Claire.  The four adults sat on our back deck, drank some beer, and talked for a few hours.  The kids basically had been playing together since we arrived home, so they were all ready for some movie quiet time.  About 11:30 pm, the four adults came downstairs to find…

I think this is the sign of a successful evening – four snuggled and sleeping kids.  It was great fun and we’ll definitely be getting together again sometime soon!
