Winding Down

The final week of school is here. I feel like there should be some sort of death knell played. Kade actually shed real tears when I told him he would only see Mrs Penman five more days. He perked up a little when I also told him that he would be starting full day first grade in the fall. I am so glad he loves school. For now, Nathan is thrilled to be done. However, I give him about two weeks and he will be begging for something to do and wishing he were back in school. Unfortunately, staying home with a two year old is not his idea of a good time.
Annika had her little preschool graduation today. It was so cute. There was a little program where she had a part to say and everything. The best thing was that Grandma Terry and daddy were both able to go to see her. She felt pretty special and made sure to seek out plenty of praise.
After her graduation, we went to the store to get the things Burke was in charge of getting for the Father and Son's campout this weekend. They are really going to have some adventures because the campout is at the ....wait for it.....wait... STAKE CENTER! Woo hoo! How they ended up there is a story I am not at liberty to discuss because Burke believes in Thumper's mantra: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say nothin' at all."
Anyway, the boys are there right now, the girls are sleeping and the house is ...quiet. It is so strange. I am looking forward to watching the History channel until I fall asleep. What a bachelorette I am turning out to be.
