In two more days the children will be done school for the summer holidays. They are both looking forward to a summer of fun and relaxation. I’m not sure how much relaxing I’ll get done having a couple of kids home and underfoot, but we will see. So over the next couple of days I need to get quite a bit accomplished. There are just certain things I don’t like to do when the children are around, so I have to make sure that I get everything done that I want to have done before Friday. Oh well, in September I knew this day was coming so I guess I’ll have to suck it up.

I really do hope that the weatherman holds true to his word today. They are calling for cloudy with sunny periods. No rain showers have been mentioned. I really hope this does work out in the end. Both the kids have their annual sports field day at school today, but if it rains they won’t be able to participate. Both the kids went to school in shorts and didn’t take a lunch as they are supposed to be having a BBQ. So hopefully for their sakes, the weather stays the way it’s supposed to. Finger’s crossed everyone!

My daughter’s grade 5 class was supposed to go bowling today. But due to heavy rains, their trip got cancelled. Yeah. I know your wondering why would the trip get cancelled because of rain, since most people bowl inside right??? Well it got cancelled because they were going to walk to the bowling alley. But the teacher’s kind of expected this to happen and made other plans. So although they don’t get to go bowling, they will still be having a fun day at school. And I don’t know about the other kids, but my daughter is just as happy to be doing fun things at school as she was to go bowling. So all in all everything worked out OK.

The other night I was checking out the site over at www.express-invitations.com to see if I could find some pretty and unique graduation invitations to purchase for my daughter’s upcoming grade 5 graduation. While I was there, I discovered that they sell Photo Invitations. I thought what a neat idea. I could order some of the Photo Invitations Announcements with my daughter’s grade 5 picture on the front. I really want to make this time special for her and buy purchasing this type of photo invitation, I think this will be a time she will remember for ever.

Although every year my husband and I will make a pretty big purchase for the kids if they pass the school year, this year will be a little different. My daughter will be grading from grade 5 so this means that she will be graduating from elementary school. So this also means that we have to purchase her a pretty great gift for all her efforts. Well, this is going to cost us.
So I have been looking online to see if I can find any deals of some sort. Well I was pretty happy to stumble across a site over at Coupon Trunk. They have a whole host of coupons on their site for a great many stores. One of my favorite sites to shop at is Buy.com. And this site supplies a whole host of coupons from Buy.com. So I am going to take one of these coupons and buy a gift that is very deserving for a child who is leaving elementary school and entering middle school. And, I’m pretty sure I will be able to find a pretty great grading present for my son who is entering grade 4 next year.

It’s hard to believe that the kids only have about a month of school left. They’ve both had a pretty good year of school, but are now looking forward to a couple of months off for summer vacation. But as a mother, I’m not really looking forward to this extended vacation. The kids have a tendency to fight quite a bit and being home for two months together, I anticipate that they will be fighting quite a bit. Oh well, I still have a month of freedom to go before I am locked down for the summer.

Only five more weeks and the kids will be finished yet another school year. My youngest son will be going into grade 4 next year and my daughter will be headed off to middle school (grade 6). I really have to wonder where all the years have gone. It only seems like yesterday that we were walking her into the school for her very first day of kindergarten. Now, we will be escorting her out of the school on her very last day of elementary school. But, both kids did really well this year and are looking forward to a very fun filled summer before they both head back into the school system.

My children’s school is always coming up with different types of physical activities and contests to keep the kids motivated. Well they have come up with a new contest. The contest is called the “pedometer challenge”. In this challenge, the children all wear a pedometer for one week during the school week. At the end of the week, all their steps are counted. The class with the most steps wins either a skating party or a sledding party.
Well, my son’s grade 3 class one the challenge for his grade level. It really didn’t surprise me as I know my son probably put on the most steps of anyone in the school. At home this kid never stops so I honestly can’t see him slowing down at school. If he keeps this type of energy level up through his teens and adulthood, he will never need to use fat burners, that’s for sure. Well I’m happy he won and so is he and he is now looking forward to his party.

Here is sit once again with both the kids home from school. Last night it started to snow and then during the night we were hit with freezing rain and ice pellets. So to say that the roads are quite dicey today is a serious understatement. So all the schools in our province declared today to be a snow day.
Actually the kids aren’t being real bad today so so far so good. Hopefully they keep this up for remainder of the day. And hopefully some of the sunshine that we see today will melt some of the ice off the roads so the kids can go back to school tomorrow. Otherwise, it’s going to be a very long weekend.

I know this is probably going to sound really mean (and I’m not a mean person, honest!), but today is the last day of the kid’s Christmas break and I couldn’t be happier!! Yeah, I really do love the little ones, but with 17 days straight home from school it is really time that they go back! The first week off on their vacation wasn’t too horribly bad, but this past week has been pretty brutal for the fighting. So tomorrow morning these two will be on the school bus even if I have to carry them piggy back to get there. lol
Like I said, I really do love the little devils. But enough is enough and they need to be in school. More importantly, I need for them to be in school!
