Friday will be our official kick-off to summer vacation! And I think I am as excited about school being done as the kids are.
We'll start the summer off by having our big tie-dye party on Friday so if you want to send 1 more item for your child to dye, feel free to. I have a hat and a tshirt for everyone already bought. It should be a lot of fun!
Also, this week would be a good time to bring a swimsuit and towel for your child that can be left here all week. I don't know when it will be warm enough to actually start going swimming, but at the very least it will soon be warm enough to get out the little pools in the backyard for the kids to splash around and play in. I'm thinking our first potential day at the pool will be Wednesday, June 9th, possibly on June 2nd, but Ethan will be here for part of that afternoon, so I don't know if we will have time to fit in the pool or not. And I am closed on Monday, June 7th, so either the 2nd or the 9th we'll hopefully be able to start enjoying our time at the swimming pool!
Thanks everyone!

Sunshine
During the peaks of sun on Mother's day, the girls made it outside to play with Bailey for a little while.... as you can see, they had a good time! With sunshine in the forecast coming up, I have a feeling I will be TBTB for awhile!

Daycare Busy
With the exception of the past week, with all the cold rainy weather, we've been spending a LOT of time outside! The kids are really enjoying the chance to get out and play and run around and be loud and just get out of the house.
Last Thursday afternoon and Friday (all day) there was no school, so the house was busier than usual. The school-agers are SO good at being quiet during naptime though. It makes a world of difference when I can count on them to keep things quiet so the little ones can get their naps in. I told them thank you, but wanted to be sure as parents you all know how much I appreciate how good your kids are!
We all got into our daily routines and ruts and sometimes I stop and realize I haven't given much of an update on your kids overall. They are a really really good group. We all have our bad days around here and sometimes they can be contagious, but even on "nonsticker" or "rough" days, they are all still really good kids and I am so thankful for that! It makes my job easier, it makes the environment for everyone more enjoyable and I hope it makes you feel good about them being here.
With summer coming we are looking forward to the change of pace, activities and options. OUTSIDE is going to be the key word for our summer and hopefully the rest of the school year once it quits raining.
So while we wait for the sun to come back out and the ground to dry off, here are a few recent pictures of your kiddos.

Family Pictures
I thought it would be fun to post a few favorite photos. Since Easter I've scanned in a large collection of photos I borrowed from my Grandma Wiuff. It has been a lot of fun to go through them all and I've been able to put together a couple of photo books as a result. The first book is full of pictures that my Grandpa Wiuff took in England and France during WWII - pretty amazing to look through all those photos and see the world at that time through my Grandpa's eyes. We were watching the movie "French Kiss" this weekend and it was fun to see actual places in Paris as background for the movie - and those were the exact same places my Grandpa saw and photographed back in 1944 and 1945.
The second book I've just finished up tells a photo story of my Grandpa and Grandma Wiuff's life.... their parents, grandparents and families, snapshots of their life together, their kids and on down to their grandkids. It was a lot of fun to look through and try to put together. I had a lot of close and extended family input for the book so hopefully most pictures are labeled with the correct names now!
Anyway..... that's been my project for April. Here are a few of my favorite pictures!
