Today was the kids last day of school! Bring on summer fun!
This was them on the FIRST day of school at the end of August.
Last day of 4th and 2nd grade! They both had really great school years and amazing teachers. They look a bit more disheveled on the last day compared to the first day! Ha!
Porters 1st day and last day side by side comparison. Funny how much darker his hair is now. It will be lightening up soon! Looks like he grew a couple inches.
Stella's comparisons. She definitely had a growth spurt this year! I've never had to buy either kid a new size during the year, but mid-winter Stella outgrew all her uniform pants and shirts and I had to buy all new. Will be interesting if she goes up a size before school starts in the fall or not.
To celebrate the last day of school we met up with a bunch of friends for bowling and a trip to Dairy Queen.
Yesterday I went to have lunch with Stella and her posse. P didn't want to eat lunch with me! LOL!! But that's because he can't have a friend sit with him (and his guest) until he's in 3rd grade. (strange rule!) he wanted to be able to sit with his friends, which I TOTALLY understand!
Beautiful rainbow outside our backyard a couple nights ago.
We are redoing our deck. Porter has been helping Mike out a ton! They are so cute together. I will do a blog post on the deck when it's finished.....it may be a while!
Memorial day weekend was a bit rainy. We decided to check out Flix Brewhouse to watch a movie. Its a newish place in Merle Hay Mall that brews their own beer and you can order food and eat while watching the movie it was pretty fun! Stella and I saw Pitch Perfect 2 and Mike and Porter saw Tomorrowland.
The night before was a BIG milestone! Mike and I left the kids at home for about 2 hours and went out for dinner and drinks on our own....without paying a babysitter! Crazy!!! The kids did great! We were home by 8:30 and although we won't be making a habit out of this just yet.....it's nice to know we can occasionally go out on our own. :-)
Stella made this little basketball girl in art class.
We have 3 peony bushes in our yard. I LOVE peonies!!
Clash day and crazy hair day for Stella's class last week.
A couple pics from Porter's Cub Scout Camp out. They ended up having to come home at 11 due to severe weather. But P still had a great time!

Can't believe school is out!! Know the kids had a very positive year! Love seeing the comparison growth pics!, amazing! Is Porter wearing a head set while working on the deck?! Love your peonies, they smell sooooooo good!
Stella sure is getting long legs! Fun to compare them from beginning to end of school year. We need to try out flex brewhouse.
Wow, my mind is blown at being able to leave my kids home w/out paying a sitter. Way jealous over here!! So happy they're out for summer, come see us soon!! Can't believe how much they grew this year.
