Time to sit back and unwind

This is how we started the last day of Kindergarten.

And this is how we ended it.

Not pictured: the popcorn shrimp and ice cream sandwiches that the girls inhaled.

Also not pictured: the mom who was on the brink of exhaustion after four and a half hours at the pool and about to pass out on the couch before she finally crawled into bed to prepare to do it all over again for the next 70 or so days.

Hooray for summer.

    Reading shrimp and ice cream together made me a little queasy this morning, if I am being honest…..

    ……but hearing about summer vacation (and the beauty of being able to sleep in) made that nausea go away quick!

    WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!! Enjoy! :)

    That’s awesome! I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to go to the pool here in Illinois! We have been out all week and the first three days were unseasonably FREEZING! I mean, we seriously could have worn coats… IF we wanted to go out in the freezing rain. Still waiting to use the pool pass!

    I love how Caroline’s shoulder is posed the same way in both pics!

    Enjoy your summer!

    Does Caroline always know how to pose? Do you let her look at your InStyle mags? Because she does the shoulder thang flawlessly.

    I’m not so sure about the popcorn shrimp though. Pork rinds might very weel have been a much healthier choice.

    I love Caroline’s dress! You wouldn’t happen to know where I could find something similar in a newborn size?

    Hooray for summer!

    When I first read popcorn shrimp and ice cream sandwiches and thought, “Together? That’s a gross sandwich.” Duh!

    It has not been warm enough here for pool play.

    Cute pictures!!! :)

    You are lucky to be able to trek over to the pool. We have one just down the street from us, but the fee to join and monthly dues combined with the 3 year waiting list keep us from being able to enjoy it. ;)

    As exhausted as you may be, I’m sure you wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Finally done!
    I can’t decide if I’m glad for the pool or really resent its existence.
    Looks like you guys are going to have a lot of fun.
