Schools out for the Summer!

Well, we made it though another year. The girls are so excited to get out of school this week they are beside themselves. Ill have to say that I'm anticipating it just as much. I have gotten so sick of the routine of getting up at 7:00am every morning and making lunches and doing hair and riding herd on kids. I'm really excited for the no agenda thing. I'm sure that by the time August rolls around I will be more than ready for a change BACK to the routine, but I'm ready for a break from the norm.

We are having our best friends come for a visit at the end of the week and think that it is the perfect way to kick off summer. The kids cant wait for them to arrive and neither can I! I have missed my best friend! A couple short weeks after they leave we will head for Utah for a three week stay. I'm super excited about that too. I have missed my family and the kids are dying to go see their cousins.
The girls will start some swim lessons when we get back from Utah and then tennis lessons in August, through our neighborhood tennis pros at the country club. I'm going to have to find a new piano teacher, because our current cutie is leaving for school. But I think the girls will have enough to keep them out of the bored category.

The twins are going to be fun this summer because they are such KIDS now. No more babies. :) :( I'm mixed about it, but they are such a hoot when they aren't being difficult. It will be fun to see them play and explore this summer. They will be the stinky little recess kids on the block. All the neighborhood kids live to play with them and carry them around. I will have to round them up like a herd of cats at the end of the day. We all love our new neighborhood and our street really makes me think of the street I grew up on as a kid. There are so many children and always someone knocking on the door to see if they can play.

So here's to the last week of school (which is a joke, I think even the teachers are ready to call it quits) and a fun and safe summer! Ill be posting some pictures soon of our latest adventures!

I too need to find a piano teacher as well as get the kids in tennis lessons when we get back from vacation. Wish we lived near so we could get them in the same programs.
