Where has this summer gone?

Art on the Square...making pinch pots.

The kid's flag day creation.

Cooling off on the square after eating cupcakes.


Ok, ok...I've been slacking. Maybe more than slacking, I've just chosen to do other things than blog. It's terrible how far behind I am! And now there is so much to record here I have no idea how I'm going to do it! It will be chronological for now, starting with the end of school. I'll go from there...

Claire had such a great school year during 1st grade. A wonderful teacher and a new "bestie" made the year go fast. Her school has a field day at the end of the year that is more of a party than actual field events. Mommy and Landon helped and got to watch the kids enjoy water fights, log rolls, and an equestrian show. Two of the pictures are of the kiddo's face painting...Claire is with her "bestie" Emily. (They are not in the same class this year, both girls were devastated!) Landon's school year went well also, although he is more of a "home-body" and was ready to hang out with Mommy, as he stated on the last day of school..."Mommy, I FINALLY get to see you all the time now. Aren't you glad?".

For the next two weeks, the kids stayed busy with playdates, the neighborhood pool, Mommy-kid "dates" (these included cupcakes on the downtown square, a movie and other little outings) and going to the library for crafts and books. Landon's gymnastics class continued through the summer, and tee ball finished. We spent ALOT of time at Claire's dance studio, as she was taking summer lessons and preparing for the national competition they attended in Dallas. That's where we headed next...
