May 12th: The start to a very cold week. We stayed inside and finally wrote out thank you's for the kids' party back on Easter weekend. Nick worked night shift this week, 930 pm-630 am, so the kids and I tried to be quiet all week. Good thing they had 4 days at school so he could at least get peaceful rest until 230.
May 13th: School day for the babies, it's the last week! While the kids were in school I headed to the store to pick up some teacher appreciation supplies. It was a busy day of running around trying to find everything I needed and multiple trips to the craft store.
After the kids got home, we assembled the teacher gifts. I found this 'simply' tag from here . The takes printed larger than I wanted because I bought the individual size of lemonades, but Office Max peeps are awesome and shrunk them for me.
I also thought it was too 'boring' with just the one tag so I added a tag in the back with a cute little message, then added a bow and straw and Sterling signed her name.
Xander gave chocolate! The way to the ladies heart :) I loved how personalized they were for each teacher. I found these tags here
And because his name I had printed on the front, he wrote 'thank you' on the back of his and added a sticker
Since Nick was trying to get in one last quiet nap before he headed to work for the night, the kids and I headed to Culver's to get a shake. Sterling loved it!
May 14th: My purse is always a complete disaster and it dawned on me that I won't be taking it to Florida when we go and I don't know how I'm going to survive
I'll be taking this crossbody bag and only this
I also started a 2 day project of organizing the 'catch all' room. My, what 4 months of not taking the time to put stuff in the right place can do. It's looking much better now, I just forgot to get a picture of the after
May 15th: The last day to pack a school lunch. I continued working in the basement this day also.
May 16th: Last day of school!
And just for comparison, their 1st and 2nd day of school...
After school, Xander and I tackled the front of the house and freshened up the mulch. Xander was more interested in the bugs he was finding. The plants the owner planted last year I'm wondering if they will grow back. I sure hope so because I don't feel like digging them up.
May 17th: Sterling still swells up from syrup. This girl! Our friends came to dinner this night!
Our friends came over for dinner. What a great night. We haven't hung out in so long that it was nice to get everyone together. Kids didn't go to bed until after 1030 and they didn't take naps, so it was an easy put to bed kind of night
May 18th: A few I never see at 0840! I loved it!
What a fun second week of May we had! It was busy. I didn't spend much time on my computer worrying about school work and emails. It was so nice to get things done around the house and not have school hanging over my head. It was also easier to keep the house in order all week!
Now I get to enjoy my kiddos for a few weeks until they go back to school. So excited to have them home with me!
