I just thought I'd share my a picture of my new washer & dryer.

Maybe *someday* the laundry room will be finished.

Guess what today is...
No, it is not the last day of school, although that is probably what it looks like.
We still have 8 more days.

It is the first and last time all my kids will get on the bus together.
It is Kindergarten Field Trip day!!!

Here is hoping the rain stays away.

The boys- 
Ethan, Boothy & Seth

Cute right?
Well, I am having heat stroke just thinking about it.  It was about 89*F when I 
took this picture and they were surrounded by blankets!

Thankfully it has cooled down a lot!

Just Hanging.

Well, the real story was he was frustrated with Seth, so I made him 
come out with me on the hammock chairs to calm down.
After a minute or two he cheered up so I took my shot...he is so cute when he is happy!

Pool Season has officially started.
Either we are going to have to have a communal toy spot at the pool
or invest in a new pool bag.

We got this bag in CA as a freebie and it has sure seen some use!

Maybe it was a bit too relaxing.

Today we had our Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony. 
It is hard to believe, but my scouts are now Cadettes!!

They were so sweet and generous and got me this awesome
Chocolate-covered Strawberry bouquet!
They know me so well.

Thanks for another great year to all my scouts and parents!!!

Tonight was the last Den meeting of the year.
I wonder if he will still be wearing Camo everyday next school year.

So proud of her!!!  We did the Girls On The Run 5K this morning.
She stayed with me for most of it.  It was really hilly and even with stopping to tie her show
she finished in less than 41 minutes!  Not as fast as the Race in April, but considering the hills 
and she had a stomach ache I think she rocked it!

Well, as the medal says: I Survived!
As long as I can totally blank the mud pit at the end, it was a blast.

Seth really is sweet when he is sleeping...
and even sweeter when awake.  He has a heart of gold!

It was a nice afternoon.

There was an art show at Dulles Town Center (the local mall).  
Magdalena's bowl was selected to be on display.
 Her friend, Anjali, also had a bowl on display.  
We ran into them opening night. ;-)

When Magdalena & I ran the 5K last week we won a 
$50 gift card to The Dandelion Patch.  
Mags and I had fun spending it yesterday while the boys were gone. 

The second sign is my favorite!
