.last day of school.

I had my neighbor Michelle take a picture of TJ and I at the bus stop his last day of school. He's attending a different Elementary school here for 2nd grade and will need to ride his bike next year. So, after two years this was my last time waiting with him for that big yellow bus. Makes me sad, we've spent lots of hours standing here along the highway each morning. When he was in Kindergarten, we also brought baby Brynn and Gage along. Once she got older, I mostly just left them home and we got to spend a few precious alone time together each school day. I also got a great big hug and kiss every day here too!

While TJ was at school Gage and Brynn broke out our new summer craft box and played with the shaving cream.

It was very messy like I knew it would be, but the Kitchen smelled great after.

Once TJ got home we broke out the box again. This time stringing beads for a necklace.

That night was a Father and Sons overnighter in Manuta. The boys we so anxious for Josh to get home so they could all go up. We need to get a bigger tent because they all had to squish into our 2 man tent. They got rained on and came home crazy muddy!

While they were gone Rachael and I decided to have a girls night. My niece Maren was pretty sad not to be able to go so we went to dinner at Bella's for Mexican food.

Poor Maren had to share most of her fancy fruit drink with Brynn. She was good to do so and I appreciated it. And as a bonus, it made for a darn cute picture!

Dinner was nice and afterwards we checked out the new DI. Brynn even found some beautiful heels to try on!
