First day of summer

The last week was filled with end of year things: Isaac's preschool picnic, Olivia's kindergarten open house, last reach playgroup for Sam, my last women's growth group and in the midst of that I prepared many thank you gifts and Father's Day cards...  And Isaac had his tonsils out.  And then I realized its summer!  Olivia has one more day of school tomorow but today felt like the start anyways.  Nate left for work at 8 and the boys and I got Olivia on the bus at 830.  It was a beautiful morning and we saw two neighbors we never usually see.  Then I raced to put together a snack and linch to take to the park before the boys drove me crazy and I let them watch tv.   I succeeded and when we pulled up to the park I saw my friend Gretchen!  We ended up having a blast with 6 boys between us and even running into a few more friends along the way.  When we got home the boys played and has a rest time while I worked out and got a shower.  I even did dishes and paid some bills...  I did eventually let them watch an hour of tv when they woke up and we picked up Olivia and headed to a friends house for dinner.  I was starting to get worried about what the summer would be like with 4 kids...  But if today is any indication, I think it's gonna be great!
