You know it's time for summer vacation and a break from my students when I make my post title that grammatically incorrect. But, apparently, it's the rage to say things like, "You be like" or "Teachers be like". I mean even Jimmy Fallon is doing it!
This is my new favorite meme. Because it sums up every single thing I'm feeling right now. Exhaustion, indifference, apathy, and annoyance. 20 more days...!!!! I might be feeling like this by the time school lets out this year...
Okay, enough with the memes.
In other news, Sean had a pretty exciting week last week. We took the training wheels off his bike last Monday and after 20 minutes, I assumed we would be spending the entire summer working on riding his bike. Tuesday, we were rained out and had to skip soccer practice. By Wednesday, he was starting to ride on his own for a bit. Fast forward to Sunday evening and he rode his bike halfway down the street by himself and could have probably gone farther. He just keeps freaking himself out and turning toward the grass to "crash".
I'm honestly shocked. For one, I'm shocked he's willing to do this day in and day out. Most things require a bribe with him. Two, I'm shocked that he hasn't cried once from all the falls he's taken. He's even run into a mailbox and didn't shed a tear. Just shouted "darn it" about 5 times before he ran full speed into it. The kid is proving to be pretty tough!
He also lost his second tooth! I mean the thing was loose, but nowhere near loose enough to fall out. He ran in my room Sunday morning and said, "Mommy, here's my tooth." I sat straight up panicked that he found where I hid his last tooth that fell out, but quickly realized as he smeared blood on our sheets, that he had lost a new one. How exciting!
And yes, he's still wearing pajamas from the winter. Thanks to our lovely weather over the weekend with a low of 29, we had him in Christmas pajamas. And let's just say that it was a barrel of fun to sit and watch his soccer game on Saturday in the rain, wind, and sleet!
The plus side to sitting out in that weather? Watching him score another goal this season!
After his game, we went to watch our nieces' dance recital at Salem High School. This was the first year I brought Scott and the boys. Usually I only attend because I didn't think the boys could sit still that long watching dance. They lasted one half and watched both girls perform. We got to say hi to the girls at intermission before we left.
What better way to spend a cold, rainy day than to see a movie! We tried a different movie theater this time in Canton to see The Jungle Book! It was so good! The casting was perfect, the location was gorgeous, and Mowgli was adorable. A few intense scenes among the animals, but hey, that's the circle of life, right?
Let's be honest. I was not willing to miss a new Disney movie in the theaters either. Speaking of Disney, we are booked! We'll be spending the first week and a half in April (not Easter week, thank God!) at Legoland, Disney World, and Clearwater Beach! The Disney obsession is still in full force in this house and thankfully, I have some friends that know about my obsession and bring me back yummy treats when they visit Disneyland for a marathon.
As the school year winds down, we have lots to look forward to! Sean will finish out his first year at Farrand with Kindergarten round-up and a Carnival. Evan has a preschool event this Friday with a Mickey and Minnie Mouse meet and greet. I was invited to attend the Senior Honor's Dinner again this year next week and we'll head up north for Memorial Weekend.
I love all these end of the year festivities and the anticipation for an entire summer home together with my family. I'm so ready for lazy mornings home with my boys and summer adventures out and about. I think these two are ready to be home together too!
