First Week of Summer

 

Eliza's End of School Party. I got to serve Ice Cream to the class.

First Day of School and Last Day of school pictures. You can really see the 4" Alex grew this year. 

On the last day of school Alex and Mike had their Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) crew over for a game. 

Both the boys had separate birthday parties one evening so Eliza and I were on our own for dinner. Eliza requested we have a 'buffet dinner', so we had meat, cheese, crackers and fruit. 

Over the summer we will be keeping up with school. Monday we will do math, Tuesday we will learn German, Wed. we are doing Science, and Thursday we will be doing English (cursive or writing about your favorite thing that week). 

Our dogwood bushes by the front door got a worm and the worm got them, so we dug them up and put these plants in. We aren't sure what the deer will eat or not, so we are testing them out and will plant the ones they don't eat.

I am proud of my people. I ordered new tires for my car, I wanted them last fall, and they called and asked us to come in early and have them put on. So the kids and I loaded up into the van with our books and read quietly while I got my new tires. 

Mikes putting up the numbers on our front door! :) 

We went to the Young Adult reading kick-off at the library and we were joined by a few of Alex's friends. They were able to escape the Escape Room truck. Eliza and Evan enjoyed playing VR and ping pong and other video games. 

We went to an event where we could meet some of the West Bloomfield Police and eat free donuts. We got to meet Lanzo the police dog and his handler Officer Miller.

We had the Degen family over for a game night. A and Eliza decorated the deck with bubbles. 

The adults played a few games.

Evan and I made caramel for the first time and it was amazing! Totally making that recipe again!

Evan and Alex are starting to Acolyte at church. 

And they are doing an awesome job!
