School's Out for the Summer

Today is the last day of school. It is officially summer. No homework, no projects, no homework, no bedtimes, no homework, no packing lunches, and did I mention no homework?

The kids were crazy this morning. I don't know if they were excited or what, but crazy they were. Rachael gets very attached to her teacher, so I know saying goodbye to Mrs. Sawyer will be hard for Rach. Erin, well, he could care less. He's just happy to be done!!

In past years I have looked at summer as a huge headache. Trying to keep the kids busy and not bored seemed like an impossible task. Maybe I've mellowed out, but I really don't care a whole lot this year. This school year took a toll on me. It was a trying year, and there were many roadblocks and hurdles to get through. So this summer we will "Chill Out", swim, play outside, and ride our bikes until the mosquitos eat us alive. This will be the summer to go to Adventure Islands Water Park and Busch Gardens Summer Nights. No stress summer is the way to go.

So here are pics from last August 20th, 2007 and pics from today. Look at the faces, they have grown so much in year. They look a little more "new" in the picture from last August. It was time for school to be over.
