LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

For the boys last day of school, I snuck special notes inside their lunch boxes, treated them both to cupcakes from the new "cupcake cafe" in town and had a little party each night to celebrate.  Mind you...this was TWO celebrations.  Tommy's last day of school was Tuesday and Cole's was Thursday.  So this was two parties...two sets of cupcakes...two VERY happy days.  :)  The boys were so cute talking about "summer ba-cation" and asked me everyday to tell them again what it meant.  As I explained it to them each day leading up to our final week...even I was getting excited!!  Days spent at the beach...swimming in the pool...BBQ's...field trips....let summer begin!!

Here are some pictures from our respective last days.  What a difference a year makes!

The car ride on the way home was so funny.  Here we are...en route to cupcakes!  Not TOO happy....

And here we are the first official day of NO SCHOOL!!!  It's 6:00pm...we've spent the entire day in the pool and dad was grilling up the boys first steak for dinner.  Our "Super Boys".  I know it looks like they are always having a good time...that is because they ARE!  What could be better than life spent with your best friend?

As for the steak?  SUCCESS!!  Tommy declared it was "yummy".  These boys have been full of firsts lately with food.  Thank goodness!  We are looking forward to family dinners where we all eat TOGETHER...and the SAME food.  :)  Here is our dramatic Tommy after his first bite...

The first day of summer was a success.  Now...only 2.5 months left of activities to plan!  We can't wait!!!
