school’s out for summer

June 6, 2014      8 Comments

Yesterday, little man attended his last day of Kindergarten.

It seems like only yesterday we were attending the open house, meeting his teacher and sending him off to his first day of school.

He had the most wonderful year: wonderful teacher, great friends, and amazing experiences. We could not be more thrilled with how the school year went.

I had the privilege of being in the classroom for most of the day, helping organize and clean up. I loved watching the kids interact with each other and the teacher, and while I’m excited for the adventure that first grade will bring, I’m going to miss all the great things about Kindergarten, too.

We picked him up at the bus stop today. Miss M pulled the bus to a halt, horns blaring. She pulled a huge cooler out from under the bus and unloaded the kids, gathering them in front of her. Imagine our surprise when she thanked them all for a great year and started a huge water balloon fight. It was so awesome. I have never seen or heard of anything like it, but I loved that after a year of safely transporting the kids, they were all able to let loose like that.

And now, it’s summer. This is the first year that little man won’t be in summer camp for the duration. He will have a week here and there of structured activities, but for the most part, it’s just going to be us. We have been putting together an “in summer” jar for the days ahead.

I’m excited to see how many fun things we’ll get to do, and I’m excited about all the time we’ll get to spend together.

How are you planning to spend the summer? 

Have you ever seen a bus driver instigate a water balloon fight on the last day of school?

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
