Summer Vacation????

Wow, whoever started calling this thing that happens when one finishes with school "VACATION" really didn't have 5 kids!!! I think I finally quit running around after kids at about 10 pm last night.
During the day, I had to make up a costume for D. Last night was his Kindergarten Graduation and one requirement for that was that they had to dress up as a Fairy Tale character. Easy enough for the little girls, there were MANY princesses there last night, not to mention one ADORABLE little girl dressed up as Little Miss Muffet!!(she had a rubber spider dangling from her hat) I really had to think about the choices of male fairy tale figures....we had Robin Hood, Pinocchio, Cap'n Hook, Peter Pan ( I guess the "Lost Boys" fits in that category), and well, you get the idea.....we decided upon Robin Hood. I cut a bit of green felt out, no pattern mind you, and proceeded to hand stitch this thing. When I got it finished, I was doubting that it would actually fit on D's head!! IT FIT!!! woo hooooo, and a finishing touch was a beautiful Pheasant feather (I'll have to silently offer up a prayer of thanks to the donor). Now.....should he wear the tights? LOL, I think NOT!! My hunter green turtle neck and a belt would do nicely along with a quiver with 2 arrows in it. When I got to the school, I quickly asked the teacher if the arrows were against the school policy, lol, she didn't really think it would be a problem considering I had them duct taped into the quiver :)
The program turned out to be THE BEST kindergarten graduation I've ever seen, and I've seen 6 of them!!!
After the program was finished and we consumed our fair share of cake, cookies, pretzels, fudge and punch, I drove our sugar induced comatose selves over to the ball field to pick Alex up from his baseball game, thankfully, the Morrison's brought Emily back there from her game and saved me a trip. On our way past the school, we saw that the bus was back from the Mackinaw Island trip, what luck!!!!!!!! I wouldn't have to drive back up town to get Ben, woo hoo! Sigh.....
After we got back to the house, we met up with the "other" "FAR grumpier" parental unit :
They were waiting and waiting and waiting for us to get back so that we could let Jon open up his birthday presants. Oh yeah, btw, it was Jon's 21st birthday yesterday. We finally got that done and he took off to do what first time 21 yr olds do.....did I mention that there was more cake to eat!! I finally wound down by playing a game of Literati and then went to bed!
Today didn't lack it's bit of work either....I spent the day with the elementary kids at the park helping out with field day.....let me tell you....one full hour of twirling a jump rope isn't the best thing for a sore wrist!! But, it was fun :) I think that all the kids there had fun and it didn't rain.
After getting home, I listened to a bit of radio online, my new favorite thing to do, they'll play anything you request!!!!! Got a few things taken care of while listening to the radio and then took Emily up to the store to buy dinner stuff and "sleep-over" party food stuff....(as if I didn't have it bad enough yesterday with all the cake and junk!! lol) Anyone wanna come over and help me eat all this stuff???? Or at the very least, come over and exercise with me after I eat all the junk!!
Well, I think this blog is wayyyyyyyyy too long now so I better try to end it now.

(pssst, Sarah....if you need a book, I have a few you can choose from ;) c'mon over)

Y'all take care :)
