Endless-Picture-Full Post :)

Really, the mega post! I don't know how it is possible that it's summer and I am not working (well not working in a classroom) yet have NO time to blog? Is that nuts?

Well, it's the truth, blog=total neglection.

Really what it is, is that we are SO darn busy! I know, I'm crazy.
My dear sweet friends (you know who you are) asked how I possibly do it.
I don't know, but I do and I love it. Seriously we have something going on almost EVERYDAY.
I love being home with the kids and I love that they haven't had hardly any time to sit in front of the TV because we are either getting ready for a vacation or we're at a play date with friends.

I wish all year could be summertime!

So this is a recap of all recaps! From before Father's Day till this week...LONG TIME PEOPLE!

Joe's big surprise
I booked a couples massage rendezvous package and shipped the kids off to Grandma and Grandpas.
Well I didn't really "ship them", they were MORE than happy to go! After the massage we went to dinner and drinks with my faves.




Father's Day
We went to a Home Depot play date with Stroller Strides and the kids built Daddy something.
T is SO his Dad's kid!
Very serious work.



Father's Day
VERY low key!
Went to breakfast with Joe's fam in the morning and then stopped at the local Hobby Shop that was having an RC car race.
The kids(NO DAD) were mesmerized!




Slumber Parties are a MUST :)
She loves her BFF Lexi.


Playdate lunch with my credential girls.
So CRAZY how our lives have changed and how we have all kept in touch.
We've multiplied.
Jessica spoiled us with a delicious spread of food/snacks while the kids played.







Playdate with girlfriends.
We've gone to the Splash Park a few times this summer...this time with some of my fave mommy friends...and their kids too of course!








RIVER RIVER RIVER!
We went the last week of June with my family.
My Mom and Dad left earlier than the rest of us, so they offered to take the kids home with them...that meant just Joe and I on the river.
So fun since two of our good friends were down there too! Adult river=FUN!!!





4th of July
BY FAR one of my FAVORITE holidays!
Maybe it is the 5th grade-dorky-teacher in me?
Miss S had a parade and picnic at school.
Then two days later-MORE RIVER!!!
























Your question answered: YES that WAS my husband in the bright orange shorts and green top. It has become a tradition that he has ONE crazy River day with his very own created get-up. Don't believe me? Click here from last year!

...and the BEST news of all...
after 4 interviews and offers...I'm going to be teaching 5th grade at a school that I'm absolutely STOKED about!
I was praying to know that I'd be happy and in a good place and I'm very confident I'm going to have a good year!
I have already had a play date with my new colleagues! Can't wait for more!!!

What's more is that since I'm still going to be teaching 5th I get to participate in a Pythagoras Project that I applied for ( but had to be either a 5th or 6th grade teacher).
Exciting because I am now going to sell my camera and use my extra pay for a new one!
Yeah baby!!!

Okay, I might be on a bloggy rollllll, more to come tonight :)
