A Birthday At Our House

May 312009

Seven Years Old and Riding In Style!

Enu turned SEVEN years old today. She is over the moon with her birthday finally arriving! She woke up mommy at SIX this morning…talk about excited. We had a nice breakfast of cinnamon rolls and fruit and she opened up all the cards that had come in the mail this week. She is rolling in the $$$ and cannot wait to hit a store. I think she will spend all day at Game-Stop trying to figure out what new game to buy for her shiny, new Nintendo DS.

Grammy bought her a new PURPLE bike and Hubby took her riding on Friday. She did over eight miles without complaining. That is amazing and we are sooooooo proud of her.

Grandma got her a PURPLE sleeping bag just perfect for her upcoming camping trip.

Apparently PURPLE is the new PINK.

Please wish Enu a Happy Birthday as she will feel very famous!

The Night Before The Last Day Of School

May 272009

Tomorrow is the last day of school for my three older daughters. Elle’s last day at pre-school was today. She took everyone stickers and claimed to be excited about going to “Kiddie Kollege” in the fall. Of course that is what she says today, I’m sure she will change her mind when she remembers she has to actually wear clothes when she goes to school!

Meg is pleased with the thought of summer. Camps, summer reading programs, long days with nothing to do are happy memories to her. Plus she is going to horse camp again this summer, which is her FAVORITE THING ON EARTH!

Mita and Enu are a bit upset over the end of the school year. They loved their teachers and made such great friends, I think they are worried about yet another change in their life. I have let them know of all the fun ahead in the summer months and the schools have done a great job of them getting to know their teacher next year. Plus, they all have class with close friends next year.

Tomorrow the day will be full of games, food and lots of fun. I have goodie buckets filled with the tools of summer: bubbles, sidewalk chalk, kites, books and water shooters. I think they will have fun finding the buckets and playing with their new trinkets.

I will be busy putting away school supplies that we can still use in the fall and storing away back packs. Piles and piles of papers will be sorted, tossed and recycled. I love this time of year!

I also know that towards the end of August I will be ready to get out the backpacks, crayons and lunch boxes. The kids will be ready to hit the books, study spelling words and see friends everyday again. I really love the cycles of life right now.

Happy summer everyone!
