No More Teachers, No More Books!

School's out for summer... woo hoo! It's kind of nice not to have to do anything if we don't want to, although having nothing planned can sort of backfire on me if I'm not careful and the bickering might drive me mad!

The kids have been spending a lot of time out on the tramp with the sprinkler underneath. I'm a little scared of the water bill next month! Jake has learned a new trick that makes my heart skip a beat each time I see him do it and I'm almost positive I have a few new grey hairs now!

I caught him mid-backflip! This kid is so incredibly athletic and usually not afraid to try new things. Amazes me all the time!

So Jay and I celebrated 11 years of wedded bliss last night (our actual anniversary is today)! We dropped the kids off with some friends and went out for Japanese food and an ice cream dessert. It was nice getting some alone time... seems that's getting rarer and rarer as our schedules fill up with other stuff.

I need to go pretend to do some housework and finish sewing Joshua's shirt. We're thinking of taking the kids to the water slides today since it's going to be a pretty miserable day (hot and humid... blech)!
