Springin' into Summer

 Hello, Happy Friday and Happy Summer!

Yesterday was the last day of school and we are headed down to Folly this afternoon.

Here's our Last Day vs. First Day.  3K, 1st, and 3rd grade!  I almost forgot to snap this pic yesterday morning and I think you can tell my crew is over it.  It was a big year for all three and I know they are ready for a break.

And I wanted to share some scenes from our Spring.

A few notes:  I quit using social media early this year, in an effort to spend less time on my phone and "practice what I preach" with my kids.  Anyway, it's interesting how it's changed the effort I take to get "the perfect shot".  I'm much less likely to pull out my phone than if I were planning to share it in a post.  Also!  I stared working part-time this Spring and the weeks are going by that much quicker.   All to say, it's been MONTHS since I've posted some snaps of the haps.

St. Patrick's Day Parade '26

One of my favorite annual events.  We opted out of marching with our school and instead enjoyed from the sidewalk, catching alllll the candy and swag.

Strawberry Picking!  Will be time for peaches before we know it.

Spring Break Lemonade Stand.  This year we took it to the Greenway and I printed my venmo QR code.

Only pic I got, but they did well and the girls used their money on dumpling squishies.  I was talking with the Wonderworks employee who helped us and she was telling me about the chaos of dumplings and other viral toys.  Reminds me of the old Black Fridays.

Earth Day cookies for J's Show and Tell.

Mother's Day!

School picnic with MB, Breakfast, and a day at the Beach.

Always shoutin' out Costco and East Bay Deli Kid's Night.

Don't think I'd survive without them!

And last but certainly not least...

I have a whole post that I want to write about my BFF weekend to celebrate our 40th Birthdays.  We had a "Golden Girls" night which was *iconic* and I didn't get a single photo throughout the weekend.  I am hoping to get more from my friends soon, but K did snap a video and here is a screenshot.

Have a great weekend!
