welcome summer!!!

I wasn't sure if I was going to throw an end of summer party this year, but sort of last minute we decided to go ahead with it. Corbin didn't have to be at school the last day, so he helped make the sign and got things ready. It was a simple party...although the cake did take a bit of work, and the flavor wasn't totally worth it (watermelon flavor) but it was still fun and I loved how it looked. :)

But the VERY best part...school's out!!! No more schedules, late night studying, packing lunches, signing papers, deadlines - lazy summer days are straight ahead for three months!!

May always seems to be one of the busiest months. Between end of school activities, end of spring sports, yard work, yard projects, putting in a garden, and just the normal day to day stuff - I feel exhausted. But we try to make the most of it. Life is pretty good.
