Vacation and Proud Parents

It has been awhile since I posted and things here have not slowed down. School has ended. It has been a whole week at home. The kids are bored already.
It reminded me a bit of when I was a kid. It seems so long ago.......
I do remember being busy, but I do not remember being bored. I remember the long bike rides and going down to the creek. We would be outside for hours and forget about the time. We really didn't do anything , but we enjoyed just being outside doing nothing.
Enough of that reminiscing, I do need to do a bit of bragging. My daughter, Abigail ended the year winning the reading contest for her grade again. This is her sixth year in a row winning the contest. It is based on reading books and taking comprehension tests called AR tests to get points. This year she had over 400 points. She needs a new shelf in her room now to house all of those trophies. Both Abby and Ian did awesome on their report cards getting all A's and B's and Abby made the Honor Roll. ( They do not have Honor Roll for 4th graders) Craig and I could not be happier with their effort this last year and hope they continue to keep up the good work. Well, Monday starts a new week of Summer vacation, hopefully, the kids will see that there is a lot of fun out there you just need to make it for yourselves sometimes. That's all for now..........
