First Week of Summer

We've had a lot of fun this week.  To spare your Google Readers, I decided to try out Picmonkey's new collage feature.  I used to make collages.  A lot.  Not digitally, but for real.  Every time I went anywhere special, I had to save ticket stubs and napkins and such "for the collage."  Although I miss the scissors and glue, digital collages can be fun, too.  (That's a little poem I just came up with.  I hope you liked it.)

The kids completed a year of school!  Woohoo!  The tradition on the last day of school here is to have a party on the blacktop known as the "Blacktop Ball."  Chloe was very excited to attend her first ball.  Although there is a DJ and dancing, this ball is more about signing t-shirts, eating snow-cones, and losing hard in hula hoop contests.

My little cub scout is such a goofball (unless I want to take a picture of him alone).  He did a great job in his den's skit where he acted as announcer and spooky skeleton.  He also earned his Wolf, his religious square knot, and three arrowheads.  After a year of scouts, I almost know what the heck that means.

After two years of looking longingly at the neighborhood pool every time we drove by it, we finally got a pool membership.  It opened today and it is pretty freakin' awesome.  It's going to be 100 degrees tomorrow.  In May.  I hate the weather here, but I heart the pool.
