School is almost over!

All I can say is WOW another school year is GONE and I am so looking forward to SUMMER time this year...why? I have been so crazy busy trying to keep 3 school schedules straight and the chaos of high school and middle school and preschool and now youth activities have kept my poor head spinning...So it will be a treat to be able to maybe SLOW down abit and try to relax with NOTHING pressing on the plate for the early weeks of June anyhow...
Next week Marina graduates from 8th grade and Shannon will have completed 9th grade...he continues to GROW and is 6 ft now...I cannot keep him in clothing...he wears a 32 34...Marina is 5'5 and decided she needs 3 inch heels for her graduation lol...now tonight she said MOM maybe I should take these back and look for something with a LOWER heel...tee hee...o well as long as SHE made the decision..I am finding it hard to let her learn some things on her own...part of letting go huh?
The twins are almost as tall as me and that is NOT cool...I feel so SHORT in the presence of them all now as they all tower around me...they had a very good year in school and their teacher will be their teacher NEXT year now too! They look forward to it!
Ashton has had a wonderful year at S June Smith and has learned many new things and LOVES his bus rides!
We are enjoying our new kitchen as well and while the trim is still not up it has been SO great to have more space to spread out in and store things in...
we are anticipating renovating the downstairs bathroom and laundry area as well and that will bring MORE closets!!! YAY!
It has been SO wet and dreary and cool this spring really reminds me of Northern Canada weather! the garden things are mostly all up now even the corn tho I pity it as the coolness is so hard to make things grow..something is chewing my baby grape plants leaves...GRRR
well I must close for now...my dad is having sale this weekend..this is sure bittersweet for me as it makes it more of a reality that he is REALLY leaving the NORTH!
til another day...blessings...
