April 4 was my last post?! Really?? Wow. This has really slipped through the cracks. I don’t even know all that has happened since April 4.
I last left you at the start of Spring Break. Lord only remembers what all the girl and I did during that week. We didn’t go out to see Tangled, but it was at the library for free. So we checked it out and LOVED it!!! I bought it that very week. And we watched it at least 3 times during that week. VERY good, funny, musical movie.
Since my last post a few things have happened. The kids, of course, got out of school for summer. Funny thing is, the timing of this post puts them ready to start again in a week and a half! Yep, starting school on the 17th. We also had our roof and aluminum siding replaced. We have also had the house painted to match the new vinyl siding (well, MY part of the painting isn’t done, but I hope to get it done…. soon? LOL! yeah right!). We’ve also painted the trim around windows and doors white and repainted the shutters and storm door from a very faded, dull burgandy to a lighter than we originally thought navy blue. Chris has wanted navy blue for at least 4 years.
I was also ready to homeschool Zac in order to help eliminate some social issues he was having at school. But at the last minute he decided he wanted to go to school. Be around kids his own age. “No offense, Mom” he says. I am stressed thinking about the possible negative outcomes of this. But I want to honor his choice to go to public school.
The only trip we were able to make this year was a two week jaunt up to my family in Wisconsin. I SO want to live there. It’s just beautiful. And knowing my sister is right there makes it so special. Plus, my neice Josie, who will be a year old in October, is there to. About an hour away from the town my sis is in. But I could have her at least once a month, for an entire weekend. I’m sure of it. She’s so awesome. I miss all my nephews dearly. I miss not being there for them and having a close relationship with them.
Reagan is currently out with her daddy for an overnight job. They will be back today in time for dinner. This is only the 2nd time she’s gotten to ride with him and the 1st overnight of the year. However, she won’t be able to go back out with him due to school starting soon.
We did have one accident here at home this summer. Zac was doing a flip on the trampoline and he bashed his nose with his knee. We’re still not positive it’s not broken, but he can breathe fine. There is so much bruising. But the Dr. office said they can’t get a good xray until swelling goes down. So we’re waiting for that. I hope the bruising clears up before school.
Here are a few pics from summer.

I have pictures of Zac’s bruised face but they are on my phone. Hope over to my facebook page and you can see some of those.
With only 2 months for summer this year, time has really flown by. So sad to see it ending so soon. Hopefully we can make it through more snow days than we did last year and they can get out of school on time and have a longer summer.
