Schools Out!

My beautiful daughter growing up too fast!
Her friends and teacher.
Bugz! A school performance where our little Princess showed off her vocal skills. She was one of the loudest singers! She wasn't shy this night.
Mr. E was a firefly. He was not happy about wearing those antennas! He did and even managed a smile!

A busy few days. Three of my children are now out of school. Yeah!!! I think I am as excited about that as my children are. Looking forward to no homework and not having to get up at 5:25am to drive Gman to seminary. Because our elementary schools are year round we only have 6 weeks off before we got back. Really, I think that's enough. In six weeks time, I'll be writing again about how excited I am for school to begin! For Liv, this was a special year for her as she has now "graduated" from the 6th grade and will be starting middle school in Aug. Now I will have two on a traditional school year and two on a year round. In December I will be able to register Little A for Kindergarten for the 2009/10 school year. On Thursday I had a glimpse of what that might be like. After sending everyone else off to school, little A was still asleep. An extremely rare occurrence. In fact, I don't ever recall that happening. I was able to vaccum/dust my stairs and living room. Cleaned the kitchen and swept and mopped the floor. All this in 30 minutes. I haven't been so productive in months. Usually these tasks would take me half my morning. It was pure bliss! By next year, I could feasibly have my entire house clean, at the same time!

If you know me at all you know that I love the music of Josh Groban. Today, hubby put little A in a time out on his bed. As Hubby went to check on him, little A was singing "I am not a hero, I am not an angel, I am just a man..." That is my favorite song. Hmmmm, maybe I play Josh too much?
