Wrapping it up

All of my lovely children have finished their school year officially.  All curriculum is complete and now being sorted for take back to the school next week.  We had a lot of fun at our annual end of year BBQ and awards.  Always so much fun.  I especially love how the older kids talk with the younger kids in our school program.  They treat them with the same respect they would like and the relationships and responses are so fun to watch blossom from year to year.

In the mean time once school finished for the year it seemed like a good idea to rearrange.  So currently my "classroom" space in my house (which is also our media room and play room area) is torn apart and waiting for me to finish sorting the things that need to go back on shelves.  This is great because I have found many catch all spots I am trying to eliminate and will hopefully have a tidier room now (all moms can laugh now).

Little League season has also come to an end.  Our kids and our family has been blessed by great coaches and great friends for 2 seasons now.  Our children have grown not just on the field but off the field too.  It has been so neat to watch them learn how to handle personal struggles like having good attitudes when things do not go their way.  Coming back from striking out, or missing a catch on the field.  Our whole family is looking forward to next years season already.  But truth be told we are happy to be done for now.  Now more practices or games and our season went pretty awesome!!

Scouts are all wrapping up for this year as well.  We have an end of year BBQ and awards for each group left.  Our kids always look forward to the end when they get to run around playing, eating yummy food and then celebrating every person's successes with awards.  Watching their uniforms fill up with badges is very neat to see.  Another place where our children are making great friends and so are we as adults.  It is nice to have other adults who are positive in their life also.

I suppose that is it for my end of school year wrap up.  Time to get busy sorting that pile so I can be finished with rearranging our learning and playing space.  And then we can go enjoy our towns festivities this weekend with out having chores waiting for us.
