Summer's Coming

The end of year countdown is on!  I have just three days of preschool left and the kids have five days.  It's getting so close I can hardly believe it.  In the meantime we are getting into the summer spirit a bit early.

Monday was Memorial Day.  Since Jeremy was home we decided to go see the new Aladdin movie.  It was our first time trying to take Elsie with us to the movies since she was tiny and it didn't go well.  She and I spent much of the movie in the stairwell.  The rest of the family really enjoyed the movie, although I think Carrigan watched part of it through her fingers.

The other thing that makes it feel like summer is that our pool opened this week.  With the exception of yesterday, which was spent almost entirely at the ballpark, we have already been swimming everyday.  So far Elsie is not loving the pool, but we will keep working on it.  The other two might actually turn into fish before the summer is over.

Now we just have to make it the next week and a half and it won't have to be pretend summer anymore.
