Last Day of School

This morning I mustered all the energy I could to get out of bed early enough to have the kids make the bus. They put up less of a fight today because today was the last day of school!

The sky was still covered in gloom but we made the best of it. (I still can’t believe we’ve had to wear jackets clear till the end of school.)

I wrapped Jace up in a blanket and put him in the jogger and off we went to enjoy or last morning together. I ran while he held his Superman fishing pole cast the whole way. This kids imagination is amazing! Who thinks to take a fishing pole on a run?

When the kids came running off the bus with huge smiles on their faces and cheers of celebration the sun also came out for the afternoon!

We walked to the ice cream store and treated ourselves to some cones.
It was so nice to walk and enjoy the warm sun. No one was in a hurry to get home. It was perfect.

Dinner was served outside on the terrace. Happy kids, happy mom. We played till the sun went down.

When dad got home we danced in the kitchen. The sun does wonders on my soul!
Too bad It’s gone for another 8 days.
