Saturday was full of fun. The group that I co-sponsor at school had raised money for Alex's Lemonade Stand (to help fight childhood cancer) in the spring. Our local Alex's hosted a great event full of fun for the whole family, at which the president of the Actors' Society accepted a very nice award for our fundraising. I had to be there for that, so why not bring the whole family? Pizza and rides, face paint and Storm Troopers. And raising funds for a wonderful cause. What more can you ask for?
We ended Saturday with a family birthday party, also full of fun. The kids donned their swimsuits and got to go down a huge inflatable slide that was made into a water slide. They jumped on the trampoline. They got balloon animals made for them.
Sunday wasn't quite as much fun...I shrunk two of my favorite shirts because I forgot to lay them to dry and instead tossed them in the dryer. I butchered my bangs. (It was bound to happen at some point, but did it really have to happen just before I need to get my driver's licence taken? Guess I will eek that one out til the end, hoping that the bangs will grow back quickly.) I realized that my kids aren't big fans of yard work, which is going to be a problem, because they will be helping around here. And they did, after a while and much frustration.
But Sunday ended on a high note...a nice dinner on the deck, a bike ride around the neighborhood. Smiles and laughter as Everly told us we can call her "Miss Beautiful."
And today is our family's official start of summer. And I am ready to squeeze everything I can out of it...
Let's go summer!!
