Wonderful Weekend

I had a wonderful first weekend out of school. I am starting to adjust to a new schedule which I like much better (later nights, later mornings). Saturday I spent just lounging around the house in the morning and then I attended 2 graduation parties in the evening. The parties were for 2 boys that I used to babysit, I had one of those, can I really be this old already moments. It just reminded me how fast time goes by.

Sunday I got to spend with Logan. We almost made it through the entire church service without a major fit. We spent some time outside, then Logan took a great nap. I now understand why moms love nap time so much, it is a wonderful break, especially with a busy toddler.

We spent Sunday evening with my friend Kristy, she was hosting her son Noah's third birthday party. They had a clown and a new swing set to play. Logan loved playing with Noah's new bull dozer and other digging toys. Needless to say he hit the bathtub when we got to my parent's house.

This week I am trying to get caught up on all the things that have gotten pushed aside during the school year. Today's task was tackling the bathroom. Mission accomplished!!

Lauren Nicole Gifts Giveaway

I am posting about another great giveaway over at Lauren Nicole Gifts. I have won two prizes on this site and she is always giving away things. She has a great selection on monogramed items and personalized jewlery. http://www.laurennicolegifts.blogspot.com/

On an unrelated note, I am officially off for the summer. I don't have any big plans, but I love the relaxed pace of summer. I have a few day trips to the zoo and aquarium planned with Logan but other than that it is just about kicking back and relaxing!

Have a great weekend!

Memorial Day 2009

I had a great Memorial Day weekend. It is always nice to have a 3 day weekend before the last week of school. It lets me refresh for the final push. The weekend started out pretty slow, cleaning on Saturday and church on Sunday. I got Logan on Monday because his mom and dad went to the Reds ball game. We spent the day at my grandparent's farm, which Logan loves. He just got a new bike, so that was the hit of the day. We dodged rain showers, but spent most of the day outside (helps with nap time, since he wears himself out).

I have 2 more days with my kids and a work day on Friday. I am looking forward to summer vacation. I love the relaxed schedule and hopefully, this year, more time with Logan.

Memorial Flashback

Just a quick post tonight. I wanted to share a picture of Logan from this Memorial Day and one from last Memorial Day. I will have a longer post about the holiday weekend, a little bit later in the week. I hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.

Right now I am watching the new Jon and Kate Plus 8. So far I am disappointed in how things are going. Things do not look good for this couple.

Summer Has Arrived

So I have jumped back into blog land. I was really hesitant at first and needed to adjust some things before going live again. So I am now giving this my second try at blogging. As I have said before my life is not that exciting, but I want to use this as a chance to document my life and the time I spend with my precious nephew Logan.

Since I teach second grade, this is a busy time of year. I am taking this weekend to recoup and get ready for the final rush next week. After today, I feel like there is so much to do, yet not enough time to get it all done. However, I can see the finish line and that is what keeps me motivated.

Summer has finally arrived in Ohio, which means the heat and humidity are on the way. I love spring, unfortunately it seems to get shorter each year. I finally have most of my patio pots planted, just three more to plan tomorrow. I am sharing some photos of my flowers and Logan last weekend.

On a completely different note... Is anyone watching the Southern Belles of Louisville. I think this show has me hooked!
