School is almost out!! Yea!!!!

Spring is flying by and I am so excited that school is almost out. I really enjoy having a more relaxed structure in the summer and look so forward to it. I think I homeschooled too many years (15 to be exact)and dread school routine. I like the fact that we go to bed when it get dark and if the kids sleep in that if okay.
I spend so much outside when it gets nice out which is why I have not posted to my blog in a month. Wow, that is hard to believe but I can see it in the yard. I have increased the size of my gardens again to a litany of complaints from my kids about taking all their yard so they don't have anyplace to play soccer. I tell them to go play in the street. :) For those of you who may wonder at what kind of a mother I am, it is really not that bad. We live on the end of a cul de sac which does not have a lot of traffic. Grass does not grow well here without a lot of attention so I would prefer to give that attention to flowers. This year we have to mulch, so that is a lot of work. Saturday I worked in my gardens all day and than went and worked in the gardens at my in-laws new house. They have lots of nice perenials, so now I have more gardens to work in.
Memorial Day we attended the Elderon picnic. We had a great day of visiting and the kids loved the softball game they played. There was a nice size crowd and I'll share the pics on a photo show.
