School's Out For Summer

Hey, tomorrow is the last day for the boys this year. Yippee.
Today, I had to scramble around to get Sam's end-of-the-year party together. Everything delivered and distributed to seven classes. Wow. It's amazing. I started planning it back about 6-8 weeks ago, sent out various e-mails to the people who might be involved, and only received responses from 4 people...two of them ended up helping me get it together. The day before the party, here are a few people leaving messages like, are we going to decorate the room, etc.? It's frustrating. Then, the day of the party the teacher calls at 11 as askes where i am, eventhough i left all of the roomparent's an e-mail asking them to meet me at 11:30. Only one of them showed up to help load things in! Crazy.

Now, it's behind me. I'm going to enjoy a nice long weekend at home. The pool opens, some people will get together, i'll be cleaning up the backyard some more.

The biggest thing is that we have a little burn-pit in the backyard right now. There is so much brush from the clean up and there's no way a chipper could get back there. So, i've resigned to burning brush. Sam and I have gone to the firestation to check on the rules for burning, so i'm within limits.

Lucky likes to play outside while we're working on it - actually yesterday was our first fire, and it was cool to watch. Looks like i'll be working on that project for a good part of the summer!
