8 1/2 days!
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........

Must Start Blogging!
I apologize for being such a slacker! I blame Facebook for sucking me in everytime I get on my computer. But I WILL start being better about blogging here, I promise!!
Everything here has been going pretty good. Spring has finally sprung and Michigan is again a livable place. I love Spring, Summer and Fall here but would love to fly away for the winters. Been playing the lottery in hopes of making that wish come true! We have our garden plowed and ready to be planted. I started some seeds inside and they are growing really great. We had frost last week still, so hopefully this weekend we can get eveything in the ground. Randy has also been working on our front landscaping and it's coming along nicely.
Anna is doing fantastic in school and I cannot believe she is almost in second grade!! School has about a month left and we are looking forward to summer. So far she's signed up for Craft Camp at the nature Center and vacation Bible School at her old preschool's church. She did both of these last year and begged to do them again. Hopefully we can do some sleeping in too ;)
Because I am crazy and don't have enough dog hair from Drake, I have started to foster pets for a local animal shelter. We currently have a 12 week old puppy named Baja. He is very cute and hopefully he will be going to his new home tomorrow at the Adoption Fair. The great thing about fostering a puppy was that Anna has decided that puppies aren't really as great as they seem. They are cute and fun, but they also bite, jump, and chew your things. She said next time I should get an older dog,LOL!! I'm with her, puppies are trouble!! Although he's doing pretty good with house training it still stinks to have to get up in the middle of the night and to stand in the rain waiting for him to do his business. Today I plan to give him a bath which should be really fun.
That's all I can think of. We are pretty boring. Have a great day everyone!! love ya!
