Summertime - and the livin' is easy

I've been so thrilled to be void of school commitments that I sort of forgot that I have a blog.

Can you believe that?

True.

The kids finished up on Friday. They had a big awards assembly and basically that was all they did.

It was K's final assembly on Cabinet... he opened the assembly with the pledge of allegiance. And then proceeded to get called up for nearly every award known to man. High honors. Peer mediator. Cabinet. Patrol. A special award called the Jude Bautista, given by the librarian to the most inspiring reader in the school... it was a fun assembly. But it made me extremely nostalgic and sad that he's leaving Jefferson. He's had such a successful school career there.
They ended the assembly with the annual six grade confetti parade. The whole class parades around the gym a few times while all the adults around the perimeter shower the kids with confetti. It's sweet. And fun. Got some great pictures of him with all of his teachers - every one of them, from kindergarten through sixth grade is still at the school and were kind enough to meet us for a photo shoot. I also had to take one of all three kids with their first grade teacher. E. was the last one to have her - this year - and now we're done being in her classroom. Which makes me extremely sad. She's been the perfect first grade teacher. Love her. And now it's summer.

Sleeping in was the first item on the agenda.

Later this morning we have a rehearsal for the kids' piano recital tonight.

But other than that, we're taking it easy. We'll start deep cleaning the kids' bedrooms today - and probably take all week to get that finished up. But it's supposed to warm up to 85 by Wednesday, so for sure we'll have to include a trip to the pool...

Love the leisurely pace of summer.

It's good.

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
