Caffeinated Randomness

....F.R.I.D.A.Y....

We are almost done, d.o.n.e. with our school year.
..........Ahhhhh, yes..........
Deep breath.
Only a few more days.
I am in need of a little teaching break. Now don't get me wrong, we will still be learning, reading, creating and building, but it will not be as structured.
It will be outside.
It will be fun.
It will be spontaneous.
I hope to take the kids to the zoo, hiking, swimming, boating, 4 wheeling...make cars out of boxes, build a larger catapult, camp out, have a messy/gooey obstacle course with our friends, build a fire pit in the yard, and I'd really like to build an outdoor oven. Wouldn't that be cool?!?!

**********************
I planted the vegetable garden yesterday... with my 3 year old.
Yes, it was a bit challenging.
I think I planted my patience about an hour into it. Luckily, after about an hour of digging around, I found some patience sprouting up from last year and the final hour went much better. She was pleased as peaches to be helping.

**********************
My mom came over for lunch yesterday for Mothers Day. We had a good time. Ashlynn even let Grandma hold her. Huge milestone for Ashlynn, she might like Grandma after all.

**********************
Speaking of, Ashlynn is finally getting teeth. However, it is the top two, not the bottom ones. She will look like a little bunny with big buck teeth.
Cracks me up.

**********************
My biggest boy is going to camp this summer for the first time. He is so excited. It is a shooting and archery camp with a Biblical base. It sounds like a fun time, totally boy and right up his alley! I am so excited for him.

**********************
It's Mothers Day weekend, don't forget to tell your mother you love her!

OH I love the part of you planting your patience and finding more! I SO need to plan a patience garden at my place so I can run out and get some when I most need it! I am about to get our seeds in as well and am wrestling with the question: Can I handle planting with all three of my children (ages five on down) with me? Hmm....

Have a great weekend and enjoy the fun stuff heading your way!
