Saying our good-byes to Nicole, or daycare provider this year.

Summer is officially here!  The last day of school was last Thursday, and by Friday I was done with report cards and had a clean classroom!  Just in time for the weather to finally turn around as it has!  We brainstormed our annual Summer Fun Bucket List and have been able to cross a few things off already!  My goal over the summer is to do something fun and something productive each day.  So far I have accomplished this pretty well.  We've made a few trips to the library including getting Olivia signed up for the summer reading program and getting her very own library card.  We've visited the park a few times, as well as had a few picnics.  Pat took the kids on a playdate to the Como Zoo with a co-worker of his, so I got a day to myself!  Not much beats picking up a Starbucks smoothie and shopping!  We had a playdate with friends, and Olivia also started t-ball this week.

 

Looking forward to all of the enjoyment this summer brings!
