Adios, '09-'10 School Year!

Yesterday was our official last day of school before our five-week break. We wrapped up the last little bit of school work, then decorated cupcakes and ate them (for lunch (!), had our own little award ceremony, and played games and played in the water hose in the back yard. We are all quite happy to be "on break"! :)

My friend Sherri is so kind to host a field day for a group of homeschoolers every May. This year was the 10th one! Thank you, 'Miss' Sherri, for sharing your wonderful yard with us each year and planning all of the fun field day stations!


Samuel has budding administrative skills, as you can see.

Carla loves to love on my babies!

It was great to see these friends at field day, for the kids and for the Moms! Over the years, some of us have moved to different churches, so it's so nice to catch up with old friends.

What a fun week! Now, I look forward to a little less structure to our days, and a little more spontaneity. Several projects to tackle, too. Hope you all are enjoying your first days of summer break!
