What we have been up to!!

Today is the first day of Summer vacation. It has been a long time coming. All those snow days (5 of them) really backfired on us. It has made for a short summer this year. But all is well this morning as I sit in my quiet house drinking my coffee and listening to the birds singing. Ahhhh! Callie is still sleeping, Emily is at a sleepover and Todd is at work. I love the first day of Summer vacation. Makes me feel like I can conquer everything I want to do and all the jobs I want to get done around the house. So I will make a list of things today and by the end of the summer I will have done about half of the list. But today I feel like I can do everything!!!

Since I haven't blogged for so long...I am going to post some pictures of what we have been doing all this time. So here I go....Enjoy!!!!

Here is Emily as Cleopatra for Eminent People night. She had to research Cleopatra and present it in front of her Gateway class and all the parents and students that came that night. She had to give her report as if she WAS Cleopatra. She did a great job!!


Here is Emily about to do her speaking part for her 4th grade musical called Get In The Game. Her last musical at Reeds Ferry. She will move up to another school for 5th and 6th grade with two other elementary schools. Twelve 5th grade classes! Yikes!!


Here is Callie at the Art Show posing with one of many of her art works displayed that night. What a fun night it was seeing all the art work on every wall in the school. It is amazing what their art teacher can get them to do. Below is Emily in front of one of her art pieces. The night was also combined with an ice cream social. Fun times!!



Here is Callie at her 2nd grade musical, Three of A Kind. The date is wrong on the pic. It was at the end of May. This was Callie's first musical. She has watched her big sister all these years. Callie was so excited about it and sang her little heart out!!


We had an awesome visit with Aunt Boo Boo (my sister) and Grandpa!! They came and spent a week with us. We took a long bike ride with them into Pepperell, MA and got ice cream one afternoon. It was a fun filled day!!

While Aunt Boo Boo and Grandpa were here we got to welcome Cameron Alyson Friedrich into the world. She is the daughter of my cousin, Brooke, and little sister to Brady! We had fun with Grandpa picking out some adorable clothes for Cameron and then drove down to visit them in the hospital.

Here we are at the hospital with Cameron and Brady!

Here is Todd and Emily barn dancing at the 4th grade New Hampshire night.

Callie played Spring Soccer. Here are a couple pics of the season.
Emily did safety patrol this year every Friday morning and Thursday afternoon. I took this picture on Friday, her last day. She helped with the younger kids on the playground on Friday mornings and made sure kids were walking in the halls to their buses on Thursday afternoons.

Sorry there were so many pictures but I wanted to share them all. It has taken me a long time to get this done. Emily has come home from her sleepover and Callie is watching TV and my coffee cup is empty. Time to get on my list and start this Summer Vacation. Bye for now!!
