Celebrating the last day of school with some cream from the can

While not officially the last day of school for Jude, he treated Friday as if it was. That is because there are no formal classes this coming week and the fact that he is not actually going to school makes it feel like the last day. We humored him and he celebrated with Dusty Millers and some cream straight from the can.

Cheering on the graduates from South High School

Marcy noticed on Nextdoor that they were looking for volunteers to help with the South High School graduation parade this past week. She signed us all up for it and we had to make sure and stand on the corner just three blocks from our house. This ended up being really fun. We cheered on all the graduates as they drove by in a procession of hundreds of cars. It was actually quite emotional for everyone involved.

Anna and our neighbor doing a sleepover in the back yard

On Friday night Anna and our neighbor decided they wanted to sleep in a tent. So, we setup our big tent in the backyard and they made an evening of it. They watched a movie and were in bed by 9:30pm. It was an early morning with both kids waking up before 6am complaining it was really cold outside.

Anna shopping at Target this week

We didn’t do much this weekend. We gave the kids a bit more leeway than usual with screens as the school year was winding down. Marcy did a bunch of yard work and I had a lot of work to catch up on. The big outing for Jude and I was to the shoe store to buy new hiking boots, so we can go for another hike next weekend. I also took Anna to Target for a project she designed for her and Marcy. Anna’s plan is for them to come up with a make-over look for each other. Anna chose an outfit for Marcy and did her make-up. Marcy has yet to choose Anna’s look, so that will happen next week.
