Summer has arrived!

The last day of school was last Thursday. It didn't feel a thing like summer; it was cloudy and in the 50s. I thought Analise would be so excited that school was over, but she surprised me. She came out to the van quiet and a little melancholy. She said some of the girls in her class were crying. Though Analise didn't cry, I think it made her reflect a little bit. Thankfully the sadness didn't last long.
We had a good opening weekend for summer. Friday night we got together with family for pizza. We always enjoy those times. Saturday was painting day! So long nursery...hello big girl room. Pictures to come when it is complete. Along with the painting comes a messy living room and Sadie sleeping in another room. My dear husband did all the painting while I tried to keep the girls out of his way. That afternoon while the girls napped, Analise and I ran to the mall. She's fun to take shopping by herself. We returned comforter #1 for the bedroom, bought comforter #2, and I looked for brown sandals. No luck.
Sunday turned out to be a very social day. After church we came home for about an hour before going over to a friend's house. We had friends driving through, and our "old" small group got together to see them. We enjoyed visiting and hung out for three hours. The beauty of it all was that I really did get to enjoy it. Since we didn't meet until naptime, Gma let the girls sleep at her house. Analise went with us, but she played the entire time with her good friend, A. I love hearing how God is working in everyone's lives!
We then came home for about an hour and then headed to small group. Our last one until fall. The girls love going to small group because their favorite friends are there. We have 4 couples and 13 kids under the age of 6. Crazy, crazy but lots of fun. I pray these kids can grow up together and encourage each other in their faith.
By the time we got home and got the kids to bed (late again) we didn't do much more in the Sadie's bedroom. Thankful for a great weekend!
