Summer Is Here!

Happy Summer to all!

We are off to a fun start of a summer (hopefully) filled with play dates, dollar movies, trips to the beach, playing outside, riding bikes, children's concerts, fabulous garage sale finds, lots of time to draw and color and paint, fires in the fire pit complete with cheese filled mini hot dogs and smores, camping (in the back yard, at my parent's house, and with our Yahoo Group friends!), fresh home grown green beans, running through the sprinkler or careening down the slip and slide, trips to the zoo and children's museums, Backyard Bible Club, the Wisconsin State Fair, Green Bay Packers training camp, and more!!!!

However,  the following conversations both occurred with the boys the week school ended:

John: Don't I go to school on Wednesday?
Mommy: No, there's no school until August.
John: I can't wait until August!

Ryan (right before going to be): Do I go to preschool tomorrow?
Mommy: No, baby, you're done with preschool and don't start kindergarten until the fall.
Ryan: (very disappointed): aaaahhh!

taking a safari

There's nothing like a box to play in!!  Ryan is driving the train through the savannah while John is narrating the trip and filming it all with his ipad! Hilarious!!
