Schedule Shwedule

Ah. Memorial Day. The kick-off to the summer season. I know Jameson can hardly stand it, what with nearly being done with his kindergarten year. His schedule will be much more free to do those all critical things like Mario Kart. I have to say, I am just fine with summer vacation coming up. I'm ready to be done with a challenging school year and a critical kindergarten teacher. Viva first grade!

So what are your plans for the summer? Usually I'm not all that eager for the freckle-producing sun, hotter-than-hell weather, but this year I'm actually a little pumped. Saturday we went to a movie and saw the the previews for the summer blockbusters. Can't wait for Harry Potter and Transformers 2. Let's see there's also my niece Chelsea's farewell just around the corner...that will make 5 missionaries out for us! My office will relocate to a new facility (new is always nice) and we're planning a BBQ for friends since we raided my in-laws freezer of their meat (they left on a mission). One of these summer evenings we're going to have all the neighbor kids over for a huge water fight party and Jameson has his 1/2 birthday coming up. Nate's got the yard looking great and maybe we'll go camping, maybe even take The Boy to Jellystone. It's time to get busy in the kitchen with some warm weather recipes I've been dying to try - Lemon Macaroon Tartlets, Apple-Avocado Salsa and Roasted Vegetable & Feta Calzones - just to name a few. Lost a few pounds. Who knows, maybe I'll even dawn a swimming suit and take The Boy swimming. Weellll let's not get carried away just yet...
