Finishers

I started the long weekend thinking, I wish I could just take the whole summer off with the kids. I finished the long weekend thinking, thank goodness summer camp starts tomorrow!! Aurora woke up very sad on Thursday, knowing it was her last day as a 3rd grader. She's a sentimental girl! She came home with a ton of signatures in her yearbook and a Perfect Attendance Certificate.


Friday we ran errands and she came to work with me for awhile, then Saturday we woke up bright and early for the Daisy 5k. Aurora and I have done the Daisy 5k for several years. Typically she'll do the kid's run and I'll do the 5k while the boys hang out. This year I registered Clark and he ran the full mile without stopping! Yes, he held my hand the whole time. Aurora made some new friends and floated along to the finish line ahead of us.


I was so proud of both kids for earning their medals! After I ran the 5k, we headed home for a superhero birthday party across the street. It was super fun.


The rest of the weekend was spent at house parties. Sunday was a pool party, and today we went to a bounce house birthday party (not pictured).


It was the kid's first swim of the summer, but it won't be their last! Starting tomorrow they'll be at a day camp all summer long that includes daily swim lessons. We have one camping trip and one vacation on the calendar but otherwise plan to have a pretty low key summer.
