End of another school year.

The kids are counting down the days until summer break.  But, I'm not sure if I'm ready for the year to end.  Ayden will become a middle-schooler and that will mean I'm old.  Well, not that old, but before I know it he'll be driving and that will definitely make me feel old.

Ayden's middle-school orientation was yesterday and field trips are on the calendar for Friday and next Tuesday.  I'm going with Ayvarie to the zoo on Friday.  We're just hoping the rain stays away.  I have my umbrellas ready...just in case.

Ayvarie's artwork was nearby tonight when I pulled out my camera.  I try to take pictures of the kids' art pieces since they don't always last as long as I'd like.  Here is a picture of her flower she painted in Art.  We played with the color a bit.  

..and I LOVE IT!

I will frame the original as I did with one of Ayden's pictures from Kindergarten.  My intent is to fill my house with original artwork...and if from my own family, it's even better!
