May

Easter, which I believe was the last time I posted anything, is long gone. I can't believe that it's the last week of May and that the kids will be out of school for the summer!
May has been a busy month for us. Steve and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary, today was Joseph's 6th birthday, Friday is Seth's 2nd birthday. Plus lots of end of the school year activities for both Sara and Joseph at school - a couple field trips, water day is tomorrow. Joseph's kindergarten graduation is this week. Sara had her dress rehearsal for her ballet recital last Saturday, this Friday is the actual recital. Larissa had her last day of preschool last Friday, ending the year with a splash pad and ice cream day. Steve started summer school session. And at my work May consisted of a lot of summer prep, including me and the director going over summer staffing (it's going to be tight but we'll survive somehow!), getting lesson plans ready, class lists. Also starting on advertising for Fall after school and starting to work on class lists for that already as well. In short, May has just been packed with busy activities.
This week I have my first week of summer vacation. This won't be a relaxing week, but that's ok. I'll get to help with water day tomorrow, the as I mentioned already, kindergarten graduation. 2 year old pictures with Seth will happen this week. My VTers are supposed to come visit (Finally! I've been here over a year and will I finally have VTers???? That visit???), Seth's bday, Sara's ballet recital.... plus other things that I can't even think of right now! I have another week of vacation in June. Unfortunately, it looks like we won't be able to go home to CO to visit (lack of money), but we'll have to think of fun things to do here... that are cheap.
Anyway, a few pics.......

Today at Chuck-E-Cheese, which is where Joseph wanted to go for his bday lunch, the kids' favorite game was Spider Stompin.

We also went to the park this evening at 6:30 when it cooled down to about 90. We played for about an hour, on the playground and in the grass. The kids were beat tonight and went to bed pretty early -woohoo!!

And then here's Steve and me 11th wedding anniversary pic. We celebrated by going to lunch at Rainforest Cafe, and to see the new Star Trek movie.

Here's hoping that I update again sooner rather than later! :)
