see relatedLast week of school!!!
Thank goodness May is over!! Our May was so busy with meetings and school functions that I didn't know how we were going to get through it, but we did! Cole is done with school on Wednesday and Hunter goes to Friday. I can't wait to be done so we can stay up later and sleep in later in the morning!!
(pictures from Hunter's birthday in March...I made the cake myself...note: don't use too much black icing on a cake or everyone will have black teeth!!)
Hunter at Field Day...
Cole at the Merry-Go-Round Museum...Hunter and Cole with cousins Hope and Skylar...I'll be retiring as president of our PTO effective June 30, but I'll be pretty much done after this week. We did a lot of activities this year and just the organizing alone takes up a lot of my time. It'll be a relief not to have to feel responsible for it and there are some great people as officers next year!
We got our pool opened a couple of weekends ago and it is all cleared up and ready to go if the weather ever decides to cooperate!! It has been a chilly May this year and I hate to see the pool sitting there and know its too cold to go in. The boys are being patient though and I'm sure we'll get plenty of use out of it in a couple of weeks!
Hunter started baseball practice for this year and Cole is trying T-ball. This is the first year that they invited 4 year olds to play and I'm a little nervous that he is too young, but we'll try a couple of games and see how it goes. Jason and I took them down to the baseball field last Saturday and let them hit and field the ball with just us four down there. It went really well and I think it probably helped Cole's confidence in what he is doing.
We're looking forward to all of the good movies coming out this summer! We've already seen Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonion and UP. We LOVE going to the movies and they are so good when I take them! Hunter (and I) just finished ready Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince so that we'll be ready for the movie in July. It was a 7th grade reading level and he finished the whole thing on his own and got a 100% on the reading test. I'm so glad that he enjoys reading like that.
We finally decided to get rid of our Chinchillas. Jason is getting ready to remodel the room they live in and there was no place for them to go. Plus they were getting to be a lot to take care of. The boys were sad at first but adjusted well to the idea after several weeks. I was having a hard time finding a home for them so I put them on Huron County Freecycle, which is a neat group where people can list things they don't want or things that they need and other people in the county can get a hold of you about them. I had over 20 emails from people wanting them!!! I found them a home with someone that we actually knew and they took them that night. What a relief for me!
Saying goodbye to Stormy...Tomorrow we have our PTO Fun-A-Thon where the kids get to participate in different fun themed stations like Monkey Race, Sack Race, Red Rover, Bubble Gum Race and things like that. We are looking at a chance of rain so I am praying very hard today that it doesn't rain!! We'll have to reschedule if it does and that won't be good...we'll lose a lot of our volunteers if that happens. We have our last PTO meeting of the year on Wednesday along with Hunter is participating in a Wax Museum at the school where the kids dress up as people and do a little blurb when people walk by. He chose Christopher Paolini...the author of the Eragon series. Hopefully after this things will slow down. We have Vacation Bible School coming up in a couple of weeks, but hopefully we'll recover from school before that!!
