Last day of school

Today is the last day of school for my kids (except Taylor is going to take summer school in June). But they have a very fun day going on down at the school. I was a volunteer and helped make snow cones. I came home for lunch and will be heading back. But of course, I took a few pictures of my kids in action. They are having such a great time!!!

Blake's Zoo Field Trip

There is not much to write about, we went on a field trip with Blake's Kindergarten class to the Tulsa Zoo yesterday. It was a WONDERFUL day, it wasn't too hot, we had a cloud cover, and the temperature was about 70, so it made it an ideal day to go to the Zoo. Plus it wasn't very crowded, that was GREAT! Here are a few pics that I took:
Spiderman!





This was our little group that stayed together.

We picked a GREAT place to live!!!

We picked a great place to move! Our house is 2 blocks from a REALLY nice park. This park already has 3 different playgrounds, a lot of miscellaneous playground equipment, and a splash park, which is a BLAST to play in on a hot summer day! It is the ONLY splash park in town. Even adults LOVE it, at least I do ;) Well about a month ago, I found out that there are plans to put a public swimming pool in this park! I was very excited, but wasn't sure if it was just a rumor. Then I have since then heard that they are trying to raise money to build it. I was very excited. First of all, there are no public pools here in this town, only the Salvation Army has a pool, and you have to be a member to use it. So needless to say, we needed a public swimming pool. Then to find out that it is planned on being in a park just 2 blocks from my house, how awesome! However, it is not going to open for 2 more years. But still... I'm pretty excited about it! Here is a computer drawing of what it is supposed to look like:

Me and my neice, Kayla also getting spashed from the bucket, it is FUN!

ANNOYING!!!

I have allergies SO bad today! I think I've sneezed 100+ times today! Please remember me, I'm trying to get my house clean, and this is really slowing me down! Sorry, I just felt the need to vent a little!

Yard sale is over, but not a sucess :(

Well I closed down my yard sale for good. I didn't sell everything by a long shot. I made maybe $60.00, which is better than nothing I guess. It may pay one bill that I needed to pay. I'm going to put a few things on craigslist and keep them for a week, then whatever I haven't sold, I'm donating! It's not going back in my house, and not staying in my garage! HEHE, So basically my Step 1 in my garage transformation is complete. I'm so excited to get all the yard sale stuff cleared out and start organizing the shelves. I have enough shelves that it shouldn't be hard to get everything in a good place. But like I mentioned yesterday, I have found SEVERAL things that I had lost, so it was like finding treasure. HEHE. Anyway... I'm a little disappointed, but definitely glad it's over with, they are such a pain to have.
