8 and half, that's how many days of school that are left. Then we are free to do as we please! It will be nice to not have to get up and not have to adhere to any real schedules for a little bit. I am not sure what I will do to entertain Anna for all those days but I do have a few things planned. I'm thinking of getting a Zoo pass if we can swing it and gas doesn't sky rocket in the coming days. We really miss the zoo and Anna has been asking to go alot lately. So I think it might be a good thing to add to our summer.
This year at school I helped Anna's teacher with their "home reading" program. Basically I and other parents would come in and the kids would read us a book then take that book home to practice. They would then bring them back and the next time exchange it for a new one. The kids loved doing it and it was great to see them move up levels and get more confident. Anna's teacher was so excited to tell me that this year the kids read twice as many books as in years past thanks to me coming in every week and keeping up with it. We even made them up certificates with the number of books they read. I am so proud of all their hard work and how far they have come over the year. I'm glad I was able to make such a difference in their reading!! Next week is Field Day which we are all looking forward to. I'm sure it will be a great workout for me,LOL!
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! My foster puppy Baja was adopted today. A really nice couple came in today and fell in love with him. They seemed great and I am so happy for him. He was such a sweetie! They named him Bernie.
MORE BREAKING NEWS!!!! Anna, who was the defending champ, took 2nd place in this years fishing derby! Her fish measured in at 17 1/4 inches! She was very excited and is currently celebrating with her Dad and cousins up north.
Now if I could just fix this freakin' oil spill mess........
