School's out for Summer!!!

Finally, the kids are out of school. whew. Seems weird to go until the end of June when all our friends back home have been out for a couple of weeks, been to camp and are already bored! Fortunately, we had the pleasure of having some very special guests arrive (more later, dont want to publish until they are back home) so that the kids werent so sad on the last day of school. L had to bid farewell to one of his good friends who moved back to Houston, but B only had to say good bye for the summer. Her friends should be returning in August. Things could be a little quiet with our friends out of town, but luckily for us, we are going to have a few weeks of company - which we really look forward to. Major bonus - B now has 2 bottles of A1 sauce. Thanks to our visitors. woo hoo.
The summer weather so far has been fabulous. 70 degrees and sunny. what perfect summer days. One unusual thing is that we havent even been to a swimming pool yet. B was riding in the car yesterday and said, "I would give anything if we would be driving to the KC pool right now." She really wishes one of her friends here had a pool at their house, but no such luck. The pool at school is closed for camps, so I guess it will be mid July before we ever touch a pool.
L is growing like a weed. Taller than his ole mom now and feet are bigger too. Bought shoes for him today in a size 9. Told me his knees are hurting, he thinks it is growing pains. I think he gets his height from his Uncle Hugh. ha.
As for now, the kids are just enjoying being able to watch a little tv, play the Wii and relax. Summer time fun.
