Another week has come and gone. The most exciting event of the week was another bonding moment with my children in the downstairs closet listening to thunder, lightening, and wind. Just as the kids got to bed and fell asleep Tuesday night, the tornado sirens went off in our area. We gathered in the closet with pillows and blankets and tried to convince the kids they really could go back to sleep. The storm passed within about 20 minutes. By that time, no one wanted to sleep in their own rooms. We filled up the queen-sized air mattress and had a slumber party in the master bedroom. Rachel was the first to say she did not care for tornadoes one bit. We sure have had a lot of them lately.
This weekend was absolutely beautiful weather. We went for a walk around the neighborhood yesterday morning. It was the designated garage sale day for the subdivision. Alyson came home with the most goodies - a new porcelain doll and a piggy bank. Matthew found a batman outfit he couldn't resist. Rachel was disappointed she couldn't find anything she wanted. The weather was hot (85 degrees) and there was not a cloud in the sky. We had a block party picnic at the park yesterday evening. Afterwards, the girls went to a birthday party and Matthew, Dave, and I went to the local home improvement store. Sounds really exciting, huh!
The school year is coming to a close. Rachel got her last homework assignment last week. Alyson has one more week of reading and then she is done. The kids will be participating in school fieldtrips, parties, and standardized tests between now and the last week of May. Time seems to be flying fast!
