I did it! By Friday I had the thank you cards done & in the eldest's backpack. It took the initiative to start on Tuesday, and I got it done by end of week - I did it! The fact that the eldest forgot to give them to the teacher...well, that's just Murphy's Law...I had him walking into school with a baggie filled with the cards for today. Hopefully the letters will not come home in his backpack & this task will be done, crossed off the list until the 2011/2012 school holidays {insert happy sigh here}.
The summer pool registration forms need to be filled out this week. The pool opens this coming weekend and we are pretty excited to give it a try. Now that the kids are old enough to walk in a place without running in all directions, I think this will work out nicely. We are even planning a staycation in a few weeks where I think we will spent a few days poolside.
We spent the Memorial weekend camping. This was my first camping experience (and obviously the kids') and it was a fantastic one at that. We camped with my oldest cousin & his wife - two people who bring me absolute joy. They are a fantastic couple and always fun to be around. They came supplied to show us the ropes and treat us to gourmet campfire meals. We spent a great weekend even though the cold and rain came - that didn't stop any of us...we enjoyed the town and the tourist attractions it had to offer. Thank goodness for a flexible bowling alley owner, who opened for our group of tweleve and awarded himself with a house filled with bowlers for the entire afternoon. We visited a local cave - it was beautiful!
This kind of love and quality time with my family, my cousin and his wife, and their super nice friends put me in the place I need to be for this coming week. It's going to be an interesting few weeks coming up with my boss leaving our small work group. This leaves me in a circus tent not very well lit, so I can't exactly see what's direction the tightrope will be going as I step onto it for this new change directed by the ring master.
