School is out, let Summer begin!!

Sydney with her teacher Mrs. Smith.

My little girl finished Kindergarten.  How did this day come so fast?
We got to go to a little assembly where they sang some of the songs they've learned and some awards were given out.  Dad even surprised her and showed up during his work day, and then took her to 7-11 afterwards to pick out a treat.  I love how the simple things make kids SO happy.

So, today is the first day of Summer break.  I know once the new school year comes rolling around that it will seem as if it's flown by, but today I'm feeling  a little overwhelmed trying to think of ways to keep the kids busy each day.  
This morning we headed out and went swim suit shopping!!  Sydney tried 6 suits and had the hardest time choosing.  She modeled each one in front of the mirror in the dressing room.  We both agreed  on the last one.  Gone are the days of picking out my favorite suit and just throwing it in the cart.
Jackson has worn the same swimming suite for the past 3 summers.  I had him try it on this morning before we went shopping and it was TINY!  He's gained 9 pounds and grown about 5 inches since September when he had his tonsils taken out.  CRAZY!  So, he got to choose a new suit, too.

We're going to a swimming party later this afternoon, but the kids couldn't wait that long to get ready.
Let the Summer begin!
