May has been a freakishly busy month. But, what else is new? To finally not be under the microscope for 10 hrs a day is a huge relief! Never in my life have I looked forward to summer vacation as much as I have this year. Fortunately, it had nothing to do with my students!

We have managed to survive a preschool graduation, a dance recital, last day of school x 3 & moving me out of my classroom/school. Now, we are looking forward to our summer together.
Travis decided last time he was home to sheetrock a bedroom downstairs. The boys are going to end up moving down there -- Sam's too big a boob to sleep down there herself! She is however, excited to FINALLY have a room all to herself that she can have painted pink! When Trav comes home in a week we'll be taping, mudding, getting ready to paint & apparently, putting in our front lawn. I guess he's finally taking my threats of turning it into garden space serious!

Caleb has turned into a raring monster! That boy makes the Energizer bunny look "special". As you can see in my pictures, we need to purchase a bubble suit for the poor kid. He is as vigouous as ever & I am, for the first time, experiencing "Terrible Twos." We've had Terrible Threes & Terrible Fives, but never Terrible Twos. I'm finding that I prefer Terrible Fives! He is, in a word, BUSY! Even my sister's kids (who are definately busy) look calm compared to this child!

We will have the pleasure of seeing my sister's kids every day from June 1 until school begins again. Samantha is thrilled about getting to play with her cousin daily. We'll see how long that thrill lasts! ;) We have picked up some dollar projects at Michaels & are making a daily agenda. Hopefully we can keep all 5 of them entertained for the next several months! Wish me luck!
