Spring 2011 and the end of the school year-FINALLY!

After Spring Break, it was a whirlwind until the end of the school year.

Lucy and Lily came to my house for a week! They loved playing in the sandbox, lying out in the sun, barking at the neighbor dogs, and playing with me.

Lily even got herself wedged into Maisie and Minnie's clubhouse under Mom's bed.

The fifth grade class went to Space Camp for a week. It was really fun and especially fun because we didn't have homework that week!

Then we had some really horrible tornadoes hit our area. It was scary when the power went out and we couldn't find out what was happening. We all stayed in the pantry for a long time. Then the next day we drove to the lake house, which still had power, and we ended up missing a whole week of school while they were cleaning up and restoring power to our town. (It's still a mess in a lot of places.) We had to get a new roof and a pool umbrella, and a few fence sections fell down, but it was minor compared to what we have seen.

This is what I spend hours doing every Monday-Thursday. NOT FUN!

Guess how I feel about it?

At the end of the school year, Mom and I baked about a million madeleines for a french class party.

I was very happy to finish my quilt that I worked on all year in Sewing Club. It's a seasons quilt.

And to take a break from homework near the end of the year, I had a water balloon fight with Daddy.

Ooooh, got me!

I like your quilt, Sarah Kate. We could have worked on quilting while you were here! When we would have had time, I don't know. We'll just have to save that for next year!
