Summer Adventures begin ...

School is already out for the summer vacation. The boys are excited about that, though I'm not sure what wonderful adventures they have planned for themselves. N6 calls himself a "Firstergardener" since he is already through with kindergarten (and therefore no longer a kindergartener) but not yet in the first grade (and so officially not yet a first grader). J8 says that he is a First/Second Grader. It's all rather confusing!

J4 is looking forward to beginning Kindergarten next fall. Hard to believe that I'll have children in 2nd, 1st and Kindergarten ... all back to back grades! I'm already praying for how I'll manage when they are in high school.

Some of our summer activities and plans include: Summer Reading Program at the Library (and J8 hopes to volunteer there again this summer as he really liked organizing the books on the shelves last summer), FBC Boot Camp (a weekly kids' program that our church offers), VBS, swimming in Aunt S's pool and lots of other things. J4's dance recital is June 7th and sometime in July she will attend a cheer day camp (which she is totally excited and thrilled about). I'll have to throw in a week at 4-H University on the LSU campus and another week at 4-H camp. Fortunately, my parents are able and willing to stay with the kis during those times.

As you can see, it is shaping up to be a busy summer. I'm sure before we know it, summer will be drawing to a close and we'll be scrambling to buy school supplies and clothes. I believe school starts again on August 15th.

Happy summer!
