Finally, it’s Friday!
Finally, Dan gets to come home. He’s been gone 8 days. He left last Friday and was supposed to come home today, but he can’t make it home until noon Saturday. It’s been a long week! It’s always tough when he leaves on Friday cuz I end my 8 days as single mom at the end of a work week and am totally exhausted. It’s better when he leaves in the beginning or middle of the week and I have a weekend to break it up 
Finally, it’s sunny out and we can play outside after school. It’s been chilly and rainy (and snowy!), which I really don’t mind. I love rain - and we certainly needed the moisture here! But it’ll be nice to get outside with the kids, and maybe finish putting that trampoline together!
Finally, Jason and Keira finished decorating their bags and writing their thank yous for their teach gifts. We handed off the gifts today and it’s just one more thing off of my to do list.
Finally, we’ve gotten what should be our last snow (yes, we woke up to 2-3 inches on the ground yesterday!).
Finally, we’re looking forward to a 3-day weekend, complete with bike riding, swimming, yard work, and a golf tournament. Gotta love long weekends with beautiful forecasts!
Finally, my uninvited house guests have left the building. We caught a total of 5 squirrels (and released them down at the park) in one week! The last 3 were little guys, so we’re thinkin’ and hoping the family has decided to move on. We’re giving it one more weekend.
Finally, the kids and I finished our first “event free” week - well, other than gymnastics. But we’re finished with soccer and I’ve decided not to play softball or volleyball this summer. What a week we had - coming home after school, making good family meals, and relaxing while playing games and just hanging out! I’m looking forward to the summer.
Finally, we’re at the last day of school! Well, not technically I guess since they have actual school year stuff next week, but, they do start summer camp activities at school next week. And all the kids have pretty much checked out and are finished doing school work. The great thing is that Jason and Keira both have the same teachers throughout summer, so for Keira, that means she gets to continue with her Montessori work, but just on a lighter scale. She’s just starting to read and we are hoping we can keep her interested through the summer. For Jason that means that he’ll get to continue with all of his fun science experiments!
Finally, Jason has his last presentation at school today, so it’s my last day spending my lunch time travelling to school, watching a presentation, and eating a potluck lunch. They are so friggin’ cute with their presentations, and I was totally impressed with the quality of the country reports all year. I’ll be disappointed when these things stop 
As always, we moms don’t want our kids growing up too fast, but we really have no control over it. We just sit back, enjoy the ride, and try to keep up!
What’s finally happening to you this week?
