The Unofficial Start to Summer

Today is the day after Memorial Day and the last day of school for my youngest.  The older boys finished up last Thursday, and the Little finished up today.  Granted he still has Kindergarten graduation tomorrow.  But I take him at 10 am and he's done after the graduation.

We spent all of Memorial Day weekend doing yard work.  It's not how you would want to spend the holiday weekend, but we had a lot to do and very little time to get it all accomplished.  It rained so much during this beginning part of spring that there was no way to get it all done.  We accomplished so much this weekend and it looks really nice (thanks to my husband and the Middle son for doing the bulk of the work).  The garden is almost prepped and I hope to plant by this coming weekend.

Travel baseball starts today.  Only the Middle is playing this year, but by looking at his schedule, the bulk of the summer will be traveling to/playing baseball.  I love watching my boys play.  I just don't like that baseball becomes all we do.  I wish we had more time for family centered activities.

It's storming at the moment...again.  I sure hope this isn't an indication of how the summer is going to be.  It would take care of all the baseball, but all the possible family activities too.

On Memorial Day, I start decorating in red, white, and blue.  It will carry us through Labor Day.  I love Americana and especially primitive decorating (although I don't have many primitives myself).







Proof that it is still raining!




It's actually hailing.
