It’s like ten at night, and i am just sitting down for the first time! well, aside from hours of meetings! Seems like it was just a whirl wind! But in a good way! I am really excited about a couple new opportunities! But it also means that I need to get my butt in gear! My kids don’t get out next week, but they are DEFINITELY ready to be done! The weather hasn’t really turned warm, so it doesn’t feel like summer! I wonder when that will happen- although the days are getting longer, and sun is setting later...
Tonight Cory was awarded his “Arrow of Light” which is a Cub Scout award. He worked really hard to get everything pulled together now that he is officially 11, and graduated to Boy Scouts. A total decked out mountain man came to present the award, and explain the significance of the arrow- he told cory to hang it on the NORTH wall of his room, where the arrow would always point to the east and remind him that every day is a new day! Cory had all the laws and mottos etc etc memorized… it was so cute! I am proud of him!
I have straightened up the house, I can hear the hum of the dishwasher- and this is my time to really focus! I need to get so many things out of head and onto paper-

I am a HUGE Scarlet Lime fan!!!! I won a watch kit through TC last year. And just LAST WEEK I bought another 4 bead kits to switch out. They are soooo chunky and fun and interesting and a conversation starter. I'm talking to so many random people across town over these beads :)
Oh, I'm looking forward to a ton of guests this summer :)

Wow, how awesome!! Thanks for the chance to win. :)
The thing I'm looking forward to most this summer is time. My youngest starts Kindergarten this year and I am going to treasure every single minute of this time I have with her before that happens!

Ooo I am TOTALLY inspired by that watch kit! An idea popped in my head like a bolt of lightening!
What I am looking forward to this summer is my DD is JUST old enough this year to play and enjoy the water park and the pool...I'm looking forward to some great pics of that and of course getting in on the action! We are also doing a staycation of some Zoo time and the beach! Bring on the warm weather already!! Rain rain go away! LOL from Vancouver :)

I can't wait to go to the lake and to the beach this summer. Isabelle (my 13 month old) will enjoy being there so much this summer. She loves being outside, so I can't wait to see her reactions to the lake and the ocean water!

What a great giveaway. I have one of the watchart kits and it was so easy to put together.
Here's hoping that summer gets to your part of the world soon. It is soo much warmer than normal here in Southern Ontario.

I am looking forward to going to the pool and the beach, that is the best part of summer for me. Besides staying in the AC being in the water is one of only ways to remain cool in the Texas summer heat.

I am looking forward to decreased scheduling of my kiddos. I feel like all I did was organize their schedules...to the fault of my own!!!

This Summer we are going to take time to
recreate, that is to Re-Create! To create again or renew what our family needs:
Intimacy,
FUn!
Art! I want to do some relaxed, collaborative creating with my kids.
So for us, Summer is a time to Re-Creare!

Oh I Love Scarlet lime! I have a couple watch bands, and would LOVE to win this! I am looking forward to not having a schedule this summer. Not having to be at school early in the morning, or anywhere else for that matter! And spending more time with my 4 girlies. :) Happy Summer!
