We ended our school year with minimal school each day...Bible, history, science, and art. As interested in the exploration of America as the boys are, they were even more excited to welcome in summer break. As much as they enjoy astronomy, they were happy to end their astronomy unit with a paper space station and close the book for a final time (for now). We'll do a few things over the summer, but we'll do it casually and enjoy the casualness of the next few months.

Their daddy is deployed for the month, so we celebrated with some friends on the last day of school. The kids did their school work early in the morning rather than during their normal school time in the afternoon so they could really enjoy being done during our morning celebration of swimming at the beach and a sundae bar at home with friends.
The boys asked to celebrate at Beach Berry, a local frozen yogurt joint with three different topping bars filled with every topping imaginable. Did I mention this was a self serve place? It's fun and we do go there sometimes, but not by myself. Not with my little two year old swiping toppings off the counters while I try to help five kids get their bowls filled.
So we made our own.
They all loved it and we decided to save the toppings so we can do it again sometime. It was so fun to have our friends over to celebrate with. They also finished up their school year as early as we did and will enjoy the lazy days of summer starting in May.

But really, what mom with a two year old, a three year old, and three young boys can actually have a summer full of lazy days?
I've been filling my post-kids-bedtime evening hours with getting ready for a certain young lady's 4th birthday party. Every year I say it and I will again this year...how is she already turning four???
