2. JD's sister and her boys, our Nantucket nephews, were up for a week. We saw them a couple of times, and Zeke especially had fun playing with his cousin Max.
3. The Memorial Day parade in Vergennes was a family affair. JD drove the tractor that pulled our school float. I walked and the kids rode.
Waiting for the parade to start
Tired of waiting...
Quin spent most of the parade on Ryley's lap
4. Baseball/softball is still going on. I'll be happy to have a less busy evening schedule in another week or so.
5. We are working on building a chicken coop. We turned half of our shed into a coop last weekend. We built the nesting boxes this weekend. Next up are roosts and a penned in area outside. I'm excited about the fresh eggs, and I'm enjoying the building, but I have vowed that I WILL NOT DEAL WITH THE CHICKENS. That means no egg collecting, feeding, etc. Not only do I think birds are gross, I'm afraid of getting pecked.
6. Our laundry room got a makeover this week. Dick painted it for us, JD and I put new baseboards down, stained the window, painted the shelf, made a bulletin board out of a Goodwill cork board and some burlap, and built a second shelf. I love it!
Before. Imagine the washer and dryer in the picture below and the shelf above them au natural.
After. Paint! The shelf/rack to the right is for the kids' school uniforms
7. I have a half day of school tomorrow. At 11:30 a.m. on Monday, June 4, Summer will have officially arrived for this teacher and her kiddos!
Seven has always been my favorite number in life! Thanks for a great year, Lu! :o)
