Can you hear the excitement in my typing? We actually finished our more structured school curriculum over a week ago and declared it officially summer vacation. We have enjoyed the reprieve of our old schedule and as you can see here below, we are thrilled to finally have some warm weather. Yesterday they opened our community pool and the 6 of us went for a dip. 
My man took the 3 older kids fishing tonight while Boo & I had some quality time at home. I'm told they caught MANY fish but brought home seven (when someone lets you use their pond, you don't want to get greedy) Since Spiderman caught the biggest fish, he gets on the blog.
This was a fun project we did to celebrate the end of the school year. Makit Plates turned an original drawing from each of my kids into a sturdy, "plastic" plate. They are all so proud of their preserved artwork. Believe it or not, I actually have a plate that I made at school when I was in KINDERGARTEN - 1977!! It's now back in circulation in our kitchen as well (and the kids anticipate showing THEIR children the plates that they have made).
On another note, please pray for the people in our area who lost their homes from the tornadoes and flooding this month. We were grateful to be spared any damages but have been trying to help others in our community who were not. There are a lot of families "homeless" and much work to do cleaning up. I've been happy to see all 4 of my kids willing to lend a hand picking up debris and praying for the people who lost so much.

Those plates look like a neat project. I have a saucer sized handprint plate I did in kindergarten. By the time I remembered to have my boys do theirs, we had to use dinner plates!
Did Goose get a perm? Her curly hair looks cute.
I loved hearing about your summer activities, especially making plates. Your children will all be creative like you are. You are a wonderful family.
Love, Rosemary
