It was the day to buy uniforms for the girls' new school! I think they are really nice --- and at least at the moment, the girls seems to be excited about them. They got to try everything on, and we found perfect sizes for each. I think Sarah looks just like Hermione Granger from Harry Potter with the headband on... Too cute! Both are just so adorable in everything! My favorite is the jumper... And the little tie at the neck. Ainsley said she felt like Eloise.
Now we wait for September!
Loving mom and dad's new umbrella.....
It is a day of playing in the pool at Dolly and Papa's house. The weather is gorgeous, and I'm so happy to just be sitting in a comfy chair, watching all the action. We will be cooking ribs for dinner and making homemade snow comes for dessert. May have to update later!
A lovely productive but quiet Friday. We spent the morning cleaning the girls' rooms -- Ainsley told Todd on the phone that Sarah's was a "pigsty" which made him laugh so hard I could hear it from across the room.
Later we went over to my temporary office so I could meet a new student and make some phone calls. They played ponies with the office assistant, who is lovely.
We had a good time together, even while cleaning and there was no fighting... Now, as I get ready for dinner, they play happily together in their clean Febreezed and dusted rooms, happy as could be.
I couldn't ask for much more.
It's time, once again, for the happy sounds of the scratching of sidewalk chalk on the driveway and laughter from the artists in the family as the creations emerge.
Ah, springtime.
My cute girls start their long vacation... Yes, that's right. Because they didn't have enough snow days they are off until next Wednesday. So there will be lots of fun on the back porch for the next few days!!
Was up at 5 a.m. today in order to get my grading finished in time. Have an important meeting at 1 p.m. What do I need to make it through? Yes, you guessed it. One venti iced black tea with extra ice. I sat here watching the rain pour down and tried to channel the caffiene. Good stuff.
Today the ladies and I went to our first Marist graduation party-- for one of my fav students and the girls' favorite babysitter Colleen. They had lots of fun and it was so nice to just sit outside and relax for a bit.
Tomorrow, must finish grading!!
It's graduation day at Marist. I love it. Another day filled with promise and hope and regalia.
Good luck to all my students. May it be a long, happy, successful road ahead!
Waiting for the bus -- generally we are late these days and have no time for photos, but not today! Go us!!
