I always wonder why I decide to pick back up with my blogging series at the most busy times of the year! The months of May and June are SO busy, its like Christmas over here! Aside from wedding season being in full swing, I also have Kaleigh and Carter’s birthdays in this month and all of the end of the school year things to attend to. This year was especially busy for school because it was Kaleigh’s last year in elementary school and I sort of took over the planning and delegating department for the 5th grade banquet and awards. That was last Tuesday and it turned out so well! I think everyone had a relaxing, fun time and it was a great way to celebrate not only the students moving on to middle school, but also the teachers and staff who were involved with them for so many years. We also said goodbye to their beloved art teacher, Mr. Holliday, who has been teaching at RPES for nearly 30 years. He was a wonderful teacher who will be missed for sure! I am hoping to blog about all of the fun happenings that have taken place in the last couple of weeks…I guess we will see how that goes now that the kids are at home all day haha! But, long story short, that is why Manic Monday has been MIA for two weeks! Truthfully, I had both blog posts drafted with my goals but just never got a chance to write anything so I am playing catch up big time! 🙂 My goals and agenda for this week(and what I had accomplished over the last two) are below the photos!
We went strawberry picking with our friends a few weeks ago…I take Kaleigh and Carter to Mt. Olympus every year and they always have a great time!
