Summer!

It finally came, the last day of school for my 3 elementary-aged kiddos!

______________________

It was a whirlwind these past few weeks so I was counting down the days and I really look forward to having my kids home more over the summer, but I was a little sad today for the ending.  Each of my kids has had such a great year with super teachers who love what they do, love my kids, and truly their teachers are people I've become friends with and will miss seeing regularly!  And there's also the reality that my kids are now in grades 5th, 3rd, 1st, and pre-K, which all just seems way too old!

I give myself bonus points for making it to all 3 of their end of the year class parties this morning, with Little Girl in tow, but she was thoroughly spoiled and offered pizza and treats at each party!  I did the kindergarten party at the park first for an hour, left that early to catch 40 minutes of the 4th grade party, and then hit about 20 minutes of the 2nd grade Hawaiian themed bash.  My kids love having their mom at their parties so it's worth it to run around like a crazy person to show up for each of them!

We came home and rang in summer with these frozen treats I made from this recipe.   So yummy and festive!

And we have it tomorrow -- a glorious day of nowhere we have to be!! 

Maybe we'll hit the library, maybe the pool or maybe we'll just stay in our jammies all day!  The possibilities are endless!  

Happy Summer!
