And we actually survived~ ! :o)
Really, it wasn't that hard to survive. The kids had a BALL. They were and ARE absolutely exhausted from the fun, and the activity and the friends visiting, and enjoying each other. Lots of play dates, loads of outdoor play (couldn't have asked for a better week weather-wise) and loads of energetic run around 'til you drop kind of play. I even had a ball!
Had to work a few days, but they were really great working days, as I closed a BIG order worth a few bucks, and that made the 'ole boss one happy guy. :o)
Heading to Chicago on Monday for my third phase of training, three nights, and I am looking forward to it. I don't want to be away from the kids and S, but sometimes a break is good for everyone. In addition, I am really proud of my work the last few months, so I feel confident going into the training. I am looking forward to all that I can learn as well. There will be some really talented people at the training, and some very successful comrades, so I am looking forward to seeing them too.
So, yah, here I am Friday evening. House is quiet, kids are sleeping, husband watching the Sox, and I am content. Had loads of people here for dinner, brother, sil, 2 kids, mom & dad, neighbors and their three kids. Had our first summer time dinner of burgers and dogs, and mac salad. I'm ready for it. :o) Bring on the summer. Let the kids out of school, let's play!
okay, really .... not *just* yet, they'd go nuts with this long of a break .... but I'd vote for May 31as the last day of school .... seems fair, yes?
I'll be back this weekend .... smile!

Ooooh I know that feeling. Our summer break does not start until July, but man I cannot WAIT for the freedom!
For me, the warmer weather seems to bring that freedom. We simply must visit the park, playground, or take a walk or bike ride when the weather is nice. Sometimes doing school in the park then a picnic lunch is just plain fun despite the preparation beforehand!
Hope your training is going well and you aren't missing the home team too much!
I thought I posted a reply already!
Anyway, glad it was a nice SB. :) Hope Chicago was wonderful. :)
Like Kim, our last day of school is May 24th; I wonder when her district has time return? We may be doing a big road trip this summer, too; we'll have to wait 'n see. :)
