Good-bye School, Hello Summer!

R's last day of school was last Thursday.  I helped coordinate his last-day-of-school party, which G attended (twist his arm) with me. 

The final school bell of the school year rang, we gathered up R's items (but forgot his red hoodie; gosh, I hope the school is open today) and went outside to meet SPH who swung by to pick us up on our way to go camping  with my extended family for the weekend.
R's class doing their last "Texas Hug."

Side note:  don't volunteer to coordinate a last day of school party *and* try to pack for a three-day camping trip.  Too much! 

The long weekend in the woods was wonderful:  hiking, swimming, time to talk amongst extended family, campfires, crafts, lots and lots of dirt and food, lots and lots of delicious and creative food:

Watermelon, Feta and Mint Salad
 
Candied Bacon (yeah, these lasted about 32 seconds)
 One thing you should know:  my family is a family of chefs.  Even the kids get in on the action, here is G earning his Kitchen Samurai status:




Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't share G's falling off a 6 foot ledge into some water where he, SPH, R and some other family were fishing, SPH's rescue of G, G's stepping on a nail that pierced his Keens and his foot, and various other sorts of drama.

I am beat, but in the best sort of way.

Perhaps I need to go help myself to another cup of tea, for today is the first day of summer vacation.  You know, the time of the year when your kiddos are with you all day, every day?  A great time of year in so many ways, but just different.

So as I ease into the summer schedule, I hope you're enjoying yours too.

After all...

Life is sweet,
SPC

My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
