Ah…the countdown begins.  The kiddos have only twelve days of school left in the year, and I don’t have a plan for their vacation yet.  I believe the school offers a summer reading program and I always get the “Bridge Books”…workbooks so the kids don’t feel the impact of what is called the “Summer Slide.”  The Summer Slide is what happens when the kids don’t practice what they learned during the school year over the sumer…they “Slide” backward and have to relearn things at the start of the year.  I have them do the workbooks just to keep some structure in an otherwise free and lazy summer.
Yesterday was a nice Mother’s Day.  The oldest and the Mr. went to the neighborhood nursery  and bought Grandma two more geraniums…this time they were Giant.  I’ll take pictures and post them tomorrow.
The youngest brought me breakfast in bed.  My delicious breakfast consisted of, Gorilla Munch cereal, four organic oreo  cookies, four tortilla chips(the chips and cookies were staggered to make a lovely pattern) and a non-alcohol ginger beer. Yum?
The youngest and I took a short walk together while the Mr. and oldest were off running errands.
We all went up to Evergreen for Mother’s Day Brunch. Â Uncle T., Auntie B., Gandma and the four of us. Â We had a nice time visiting and eating too much.
After that we ran home, changed clothes and went to Grandma’s  to plant 13 gallon size geraniums and the two giants.  The planting went very fast with the help of my three men and her yard looks amazing!
After planting we stopped by the nursery one more time to pick up a couple of blueberry plants and three small geraniums for our house.  I planted in the front yard and the boys shot their bows and arrows in the backyard.  I still need to find new pots for my front porch that are tall and black…not so easy to find.
We had a nice mothers day and the countdown to summer begins, God Bless
