Catch Up

One more day of school and I am sad and excited all at the same time. I will miss my friends and the girls' teachers so much. But, it's time to move on and I definitely won't miss the drama and all the hours and hours of work!! I enjoyed volunteering and I really enjoyed all the amazing people I met and being able to give in such a big way. I know we made a difference in the lives of not only the students but also the parents this year and it makes it all worth it!! If you haven't served at your child's school you really should. It will make you appreciate your teacher's and your school staff more than you could ever imagine. I will also say that I worked in some pretty competitive cut throat corporate jobs and I learned more in the past 10 months than I ever learned at a paying job!

Sarah-Grace started swim team yesterday and I think we are really going to like it. It fits us well, it's practice every weekday from now until the middle of July plus swim meets once a week and then it's over. If you know me at all you know this is right up my alley - intense, hard work for a short period of time!! Charlotte wants to join the team as well but considering I have taken her to the pool 4 times in the past few weeks and all she does is look at the water I see swim lessons in her future rather than swim team. I told her the other day I don't know why I go to the trouble of putting her in a swim suit, lathering sun screen on her, packing the towel, the toys, the swim cover up and more just so she can run around on the cement and scream at Grace!

Tori graduated last weekend. I just still can't believe she is moving away in 7 weeks!! She is such an amazing girl and Kevin is such a lucky guy!! I just hope he brings her home someday - to live here!! I would be a total mess if I were David and Jeannie and they have been really wonderful and holding up (I think) incredibly well. Charlotte is convinced she is moving with Tori. She told me the other day that she was going to miss me but that she needed to sleep at Tori & Kevin's house since it was so far away from here. I explained that she would be visiting Tori & Kevin but that she was going to continue to live here with us. I still don't think she quite understands!! Mother's Day was nice, hectic but nice. We went to church, then home to change, then Old Town Tavern for lunch with 1,000 other people, then to Jeannie's, then home, then out to BiBa's for dinner and then home at last! Below is one of the 8 slide shows we made for all the women in our family from the girls. I thought they were precious!!
