Charlotte's elementary career is all but complete. She has had her Business Fair: she made and sold out of magnetic bookmarks; she has had her 5th Grade Celebration: 7 - 11pm at Iron Cross gym where she had a Bah-LAST!; she has had her final hand chimes concert: totally awesome and impressive; she has had her yearbook signing day. What is left? A couple more days of raising and lowering the flags, a couple more school lunches (I refuse to buy lunch food to pack), and the bringing home of all the leftover supplies. EGAD.
Claire and Gabe are excited about school ending. They are excited about their pipe dreams of seeing all their friends this summer. They are excited about it all. And they show their excitement by constantly bickering and picking at each other. I hate those guys.
I've signed them all up for the library reading club, as usual. Since we read Harry Potter out loud almost every day, those trophies are in the bag. We are on the fifth book, by the way, and I am struggling to make up and then remember the voices (including accents) of all the various characters. At least they recognize Snape every time they hear him, and that makes me feel ridiculously proud.
Gabe is the only one taking swim lessons this year, and they don't start until July. The girls want to take acting camp. I have yet to sign them up. No vacations planned yet, but that doesn't mean we have ruled them out. Mostly it means we won't ever plan anything and then it's too late, but I like to hold out hope.
We have been doing a TON of work on the house that has culminated in a gorgeous new living room (as yet unpainted). Prepare y'allselves:
 |
| New floors! New trim! New furniture! New curtains! New paint on the built-ins! |
 |
| That fan has gotta go. |
And just because I know y'all are all interested...
 |
| I'm blonde again, finally! |

Yes! A gorgeous picture of you! However, I did not get to see the living room pictures which I am almost as excited about. I am going to try a different browser and hope I can see them! I'm worried about summer too! Mostly because I'm going to be a big bummer and likely still sick, ugh! I tried reading Harry Potter to Gwen, but I don't think she is ready and I SUCK at voices so it just wasn't fun or interesting. Naomi is on book 6, and I never see her anymore. She reads all day! And if she isn't reading, she's writing her book.
ok, i suck, I can't see the pictures!
Your living room is beautiful! That is so exciting! We love your photo too!
