A Prelude to our Summer

With the beautiful weather we have had in the last week, life has been a lot of fun. And all that kept running through my mind was, "summer is going to be so much fun!" Technically it doesn't start for another 22 or so days, and as for summer vacation, that doesn't start until June 30th. But since Elliot is still in preschool, and we are staying up much later than usual, I might consider summer is here. I love summer and do my best to make it last as long as possible. Life is happy when you are outside and wearing shorts.

Unhappiness is The Oprah Winfrey Show ending after 25 years. I rarely even watch her, but I have watched and learned so much since I was a teenager. She is an amazing woman.

A Sick Day

Since Elliot was coughing ALL night long and had a fever last night, we took a sick day from school today. I have the cold too, so thought movies in bed would be a great way to spend the day.

Not sure if this is chilling out, but it was fun!







Snack in bed...


Getting comfy watching "Dinosaurs"
