first day of summer...

Today was the first day of summer and I spent it mostly away from my kids :(

I had three extra work days this week for trainings and meetings. I am SO ready for this upcoming weekend to end to be over...Sunday will end with a family gathering to celebrate my cousin Rachel's baby daughter (her first), Grace Ruth. I am hoping to slip out an hour or two early to compensate for the 15 extra hours this week.

The first day of summer and T is running a fever, has a sore throat and a cough. The first day of summer and CO has an eye infection. The first day of summer and B has a runny nose.

OH THE JOYS!

I decided that after the busy week that we had that I would finally grant CO's wish for take out pizza :) I knew the sitter wouldn't have thought about preparing supper, so I ordered the pizza ahead of time and woke up T off the couch (his second nap) at 5pm, loaded up all the kids and headed to the store to grab the pizza. The plan was to go to a park to celebrate the first day of Summer but on the way to the park, the boys suggested heading to Ms Lizzy's. here are two photos that CO took with his camera

 
Ms Beth (Ms Lizzy's Mom). She fell this week and fractured her foot.

B on the trampoline. She walks round and round in circles...very cute to watch
 
Overall a successful evening. The boys were excited that they got to have root beer with their pizza to celebrate the first day of Summer and then Ms Lizzy found ice cream sandwiches :) Ms Lizzy and her mom got a free dinner and we all got in a nice visit. The boys are excited that next week Ms Lizzy's pool should be ready for kids to swim in!
 
Once home, I tucked the two youngest to bed and then CO and I enjoyed the backyard. We let the chickens loose to run around and eat grass & bugs, I went thru the sales flyers to make shopping lists, CO worked on his note book, fed his favorite chicken grapes & then played. A nice way to end the evening.
 
The kids get to have all three of their babysitters this weekend one last time.
