Let Summer Begin

Oh how I love the summer! My kids are home having fun, playing with each other, going on new adventures and just being kids. It also means no homework, packing lunches, and school fundraisers! Thank heavens! And while it's not all fun and games all summer long (cause of course everyone really needs to fight over that one balloon), it's nice to have a change of pace and get back to some good'ole family time and chores. Yes, chores. Please, chores!

I loved Brooklyn's thank you note to her teacher at school. Front cover...

To Mrs Clark

From Brooklyn

I love you...

Dear Mrs Clark

You are the best teacher. I love you. I don't want a new one. You are so nice. It is the Summer. I will miss you. I am Sad. I don't want to leave school or my friends. I've had such a fun year with you. Love Brooklyn.

How cute is that!!??... 

And the back side... 

First birthday party of the summer was at this beauty place where they do your make up, hair, and nails. Could this party have been more perfect for Brooklyn?... 

Yikes, what kind of makeup is that? Brooklyn loved it of course =-)...
