I just realized the other day that there is only a week of school left! One week! This is crazy! I am sure it even sounds crazier to say that I am looking forward to summer! I know most parents dread summer because they have to "entertain" their kids or whatever. 

 I am looking forward to having some fun day trips and walking excursions. We are hoping to make a bunch of day trips to the coast with some friends of ours this summer.  Plus, my parents will be here in a little over a month and the time between now and then will be jam-packed with things to do. Both with preparing for their coming and just things happenening. This weekend there is a carwash, the big girls birthday party and our family reunion! Whew. Then the next week I am hoping to paint a couple rooms and Jordyn's graduation from Kindergarten! Then it is Memorial Day Weekend and all the fun of that. Then I am babysitting for a week for a friend of mine, both animals and kiddos, so that will keep us busy!

Anyway, I am looking forward to some fun around these parts!

Last night we moved everything out of the living room and Peter steam-cleaned the loving room, schoolroom and hallway between. It looks SO much niver. We really should have done it sooner, but somehow it just never happened.

Oh, one last school thing. I wonder how many out there school year round and is it worth it? I decided that this summer we are going to school one day a week. My oldest has such a hard time getting back into school after she has had any type of break. Even if it is just a week or so. So I decided that we will work on some things this summer so that we are not rusty and hopefully avoid that drag that happens in the Fall.
