summer so far...

here are some shots from the last day of school. the kids got to have an end of the year luau. oh man did they have fun. surprise surprise, i was in tears when the firefighters finally started to spray the kids. don't ask me why. the kids were just so excited, the anticipation, the big strong men donating their time for the kids pure enjoyment and delight, the smiles on their faces watching the kids jump and laugh and run. and i'm also a big sap.




so right after L's big daisy bridging ceremony (pictures to follow), Pdubs took the kids on a very special camping trip. they had a blast. tons of bugs, mud, sitting around the fire and other fun camping activites. i heard all about their wonderful adventures when they got back. they even brought me back a caterpillar which i was extremely thrilled and apprecative about.
never eat alone.


stories around the fire...

here are some other random things that made me happy....
before we left on our trip, S made us a huge paris display. i loved her pictures and explinations...
one of the best deliveries you could get first thing in the morning.....
how lucky am i that my sissy can make these wonderful things? not so lucky for my scale.

I saw Mary Ruth yesterday and we were bonding about how much we love your talent for photography and your blog and just you in general.... I need family pics taken and I'd love to set something up with you. Lets set it up soon!

Love the cupcake picture! Boy do they look GOOD! Your sister did an awesome job!
And absolutely LOVE the pictures of the kids playing in the water, espicially the black & white pic. In the colored pic I think I can see S behind the front boy. Is that her? And is she in the black & white pic? It's like those Where's Waldo books. LOL!
Oh & I would be crying too! I would always cry when I was teacher because I would get to know the kids really well. But even when I was young in school I would be a little sad when the year was over.
