Summer!

Today is 6th Grade Graduation.  I think I will get teary.  I can't believe my babies are moving on the middle school.  We've had a kid in this elementary school for 9 years now.  It is a big transition.

SS is wearing a fabulous sparkly zebra-print dress with hot pink accents. We spent an hour this morning trying to coax curls into her stick-straight hair.  And, of course, it is raining.  But I put in enough hair spray to withstand a hurricane, so maybe the curls will make it through this morning's ceremony.

TT is wearing a short-sleeve plaid button down shirt with white capri jeans.  Pretty much the exact opposite of her sister.

We've planned an end-of-year party on Saturday.  They wanted a pool party, which sounds great except that we don't have a pool.  So we bought a ton of water guns and water balloons and DH and the girls have built obstacles (like in paint ball or laser tag) all over the yard so that they gan have water battles. 

They've invited 20 kids.  So far I have 2 RSVPs.  Their two closest friends will both be out of town.  Sigh.  I think it was a bad weekend, probably should have done it last weekend. We figured there would be several who couldn't make it, which is why I allowed 20 in the first place. I'm just crossing my fingers that more show who haven't RSVP'd

The good news: summer is here! I love summer.  The kids aren't so busy. I don't have to constantly nag them about school. We have more time together in the evenings.  I have more time in the mornings because I don't have to get all of them out the door and dropped off.  Yay for summer!
