I feel a little bad about posting such a crabby post on such a special day yesterday! But I guess I can't be accused of giving jaded perspectives!
So today I shall blog about some very exciting things I am looking forward to! The first of course is our little trip to San Francisco! I think this is going to be the perfect start to a very fun summer! For the past two summers I have contemplated hosting a "backyard crafts session" in my backyard. I think it would be fun for the girls, and I think my little third graders would be interested too! However, everytime I bring it up, Jarod just thinks I've gone off my rocker and shrugs his shoulders and says, "whatever". BUT...this year is different....I've found someone as crazy as I am who thinks it is a great idea! So in addition to 4-H, Lori Robinson and I are going to try out this little Backyard Art "project". It is going to consist of a weekly, hour-long crafting session. You can sign up for only one session or all of them, and we are limiting it to ten kids (not counting our own) per session. I think it will be a lot of fun, and hopefully not too much work! That will run for 6 sessions.
Another thing that I have wanted to do for the past few summers, but haven't, is visit my college girlfriends. So this year when Jarod packs up and heads south to Alabama for Nationals, the girls and I are heading due east. We will visit our friends, the Mavins, in Grinnell, IA for a few days, and then we will continue on our way another 4 hours to Goodfield, IL, to see the Gudemans. I cannot wait for the whole adventure! Lots of kids our age...lots of fun times to be had...lots of wine and hefeweizen to be consumed! Dad may just beat us home! That little adventure will take place mid-June.
As for the rest of the summer....who knows what we may do! I do know we won't be going to any t-ball games...."It's just not my thing!" ~Laurel. We will be having 4-h a few times a month, preparing our projects for the fair. We will be taking private swimming lessons for the first time. Hmmmm....the possiblities are endless!
Sorry to rain on your parade but you just might have to attend a t-ball game!!! Double header the night you all arrive!!! But with that said, there is a little playground on the premises and lots of yummy snacks! Popcorn and popsicles are Wes's favorites!!! We hope you'll still come!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's ok! We'll still come! One night is different than a whole season! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are excited for your visit as well. And if you're here on Monday night, a softball game will be attended here as well :) I'm already thinking about all the things we need to do while you are here and am wondering when we will find time to sleep? :)
