Summer Begins!

 Last Week of School

I forgot to post last week! There was so much going on the last week of school. Shay got to go to the zoo for a field trip, and her class hosted a party for the parents. She had a great week of kindergarten, and seems excited to start the next school year already! The school gives yearbooks to each child, and they had a few hours to sign friends' yearbooks during the day on Wednesday. I sent them with their cameras to take pictures of their friends, too, and they were very happy with all the fun things that they got to do. I didn't catch either of them being too sad, but they got phone numbers of friends' parents to connect over the summer, which will be fun. 

Adrian

We had my cousin, who lives close, and her family come to visit last weekend for dinner, and the kids played together well. Adrian was doing great, and then after dinner threw up! We kept him cooped upstairs after that, and then he had a hard few days where he wasn't able to keep much food in his stomach for very long. Luckily, we got him a blessing, and he improved and is now 100% better! He was very cuddly and fell asleep with me on the couch many times for those few days, and it was hard for me to enjoy because I was worried about him. I would much rather he be healthy and moving nonstop like he does. We went to a baby blessing for my cousin this Sunday, and he ran around the gym with the other kids after we had gathered for food. 

Summer

Our first week of summer is now complete, and we have had a lot of fun. The girls have homework books they are working on everyday, reading silently for 20 minutes, and reading a chapter book with me. We visited the library to sign up for their summer reading program and went shopping at DI because I promised Shay weeks ago and haven't gotten to it until now. They've played together, gotten in fights, made messes, and helped around the house. It feels like we have already done everything...now we need to go on a road trip this next week! We also have other fun summer plans, but this first week set a good pace for setting the homework and reading expectation.
