It’s been awhile since I’ve updated the blog and awhile since I’ve had my “real” camera with me, so I have a bunch of pictures from my camera to get caught up with.
The last week of school for both girls was so busy. There were presentations, performances, parties, and fun days. I helped with the 3rd grade party this year and was in charge of the ‘dance party’ room. It was quite the experience! Nina loved her class this year and loved her teacher. She had an awesome 3rd grade year.
I was teaching when Lyla’s class had her party, but I heard it was also a lot of fun. After a start with lots of transition for Lyla’s class (her teacher quit within the first nine weeks then there were long term subs until January), they kept their momentum and everything ended well for the second half of the school year.
Speaking of my teaching classes, one of the classes I teach is a yoga style class which requires me to do mat work. When I have to practice at home, Cayenne is always very close by…often sitting partially on my mat while I try to practice.
Anytime I have to come on my back for a pose, this is the view I have – her face 2” from my face. I kept my phone close by on this occasion so I could get a picture of her. I literally put my phone on my face and took the picture – so that’s the view I get on a regular basis!
Just before school let out, Lyla got to go to a party for a friend at Sweet and Sassy. I’d say she left looking quite sassy. She wanted to keep her hair this way for a wedding we were going to the next day, but unfortunately it didn’t last that well through the night (yes, she actually wanted to sleep with her hair like this).
The next evening we were at a wedding for our neighbor’s son. We had a great time, and the girls also had a great time attending their first wedding. Some friends from the neighborhood were there, so that made it fun for them. We especially loved the beautiful and very tasty cake!!
The school year finished on a Tuesday (June 16), and that evening we had a block party with neighbors to celebrate the end of the school year. The kids had a great time, stayed up late playing with friends, and we enjoyed hanging out with our neighbors.
So, summer has officially been in swing for a week now. The kids seem to love not having to get up and head out early for school. Nina has already read three big books, we’ve enjoyed going to the pool, have met up with some friends, and Cayenne is getting fed with a spoon (thinking we need to reel that behavior in a bit!!) and is very happy to have her people around all day.
We spend time outside, feed the turtles, and we got to celebrate two awesome report cards with a special ice cream treat. So far this summer is shaping up to be pretty good.
