What were my boys watching in Thursday's picture?
Elle at her swimming lessons!
The instructor is helping her get a backpack on - um, she's the only one that can't touch the bottom! She's our little peanut! ;)

I keep him young! ;-D
I love my husband. And I respect his wishes for me to not give his full name or talk about him a lot on my blog, although I have been known to do it in the past! Just don't tell him!
One of my favorite things about him is his sense of humor! And that he finds me funny! ;-D
After posting our wedding pictures last week, I thought about how dark his hair used to be. We got talking about his gray hairs and I told him how much I love them (because it is better than the alternative that happens to hair when one gets older). He gave me the usual "huh?" look, so I continued. "I like them," I said, "because I proudly put each and every one of them on your head!" His look after I said that told me he agreed with me! :-D
Last night, while the kids were having their bedtime snack, he was working on the laptop at the kitchen table. So I grabbed my camera. It was dark, I know - not a good time for pictures.
And, I just kept snapping.
And snapping.
And then I stopped with this one.
Because I knew if I kept going, there would be 3 new gray hairs on his head before we went to bed!

Weekend :)
Last week we celebrated our 14th anniversary with T working late to get things ready for events happening at work.
So, we waited until the weekend...and had a stay-cation.
Without the kids! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! :D

They say (and do) the funniest things!
Putting Colin (3) to bed last week, he looks up at me and says, "Good night, don't let the bed bugs ... eat you!"
*****
Elle, fascinated with her new sil*ly bandz bracelets was in a panic the other night. She looked at her left arm and gasped, "Where are my bandz?" She was close to tears as she searched the floor around her and under where she was sitting. In a moment of desperation and so close to losing it, she looked at her right arm, barely gathered herself, smiled in relief and said, "Oh! There they are!"
*****
Quintin would like to be a chef when he grows up (this week - anyway!) He was at the kitchen counter helping me cook when he said, "I'll want to be a chef - I smell real good."
Thinking he had said it because he had just grabbed a shower, it took me a few minutes to realize he meant smell with his nose - like he sees Remy, the mouse, do in the movie Ratatouille!

Bits of our weekend
A soccer tournament Friday night and Saturday morning. The White team didn't have a great season, but they really came together and played well during the tournament. Getting 4th place ... out of 4 teams. They did have a great time and we were impressed with how they kept up with the other teams - more so than they had most of the season.
Q had a goal in both of the Sat morning games, too!!!! This was such a great group of kids! Including one, standing next to Q, that is the grandson of the secretary from the school I had taught at! It was great to see her and catch up at several games!
Way to go White team!!!

Feeling Crafty?
Even if you don't feel like a crafty person, I think you'll love this website and their weekly shows. The DIY Dish (theDIYdish.com) was developed by the twin sisters who first showed us YouCanMakeThis.com. A site which I've shared often with you.
The DIY Dish brings a weekly show with very do-able crafts. This week's episode is posted below.
The entire group that puts this together is just amazing - and I'm blown away each week with their creativity. Not only do they bring great craft ideas, but they also do amazing giveaways. Which, about a month ago, I was special enough to have won!
I won a table runner and fresh flowers. The table runner came last week and the fresh flowers came today - they are beautiful and smell amazing!

Summer Vacation!!!
Last Thursday, we finished up our school year! Woohoo!!! Our final day was supposed to be Friday. However, after finishing Thursday's lessons, I told Quintin all he had was a spelling test and end-of-year math test - his response, "Let's do it now!"
I use our math curriculum (RightStart Math) to gauge our year's length. So, technically my son is now in 3rd grade and my daughter is starting kindergarten as we head into summer.
I've found, and I think a lot of moms discovered this too, that my kids need a schedule over summer. We can't just stop everything. So, we'll continue working through the Adventures in My Father's World curriculum for the summer.
We have 2 trips to the beach planned this summer and a family camping weekend with our church. Not a whole lot more going on. Which is just the way I like it!
What do you have planned for your summer vacation?
