End of School Celebration

On Tuesdays this semester the littles and I have learned how to do schoolers’ car line. We pick up cousins after school, then they come over to play until dinner time.

This Tuesday was our last after-school time, so we had a celebration of the fun we’ve had.

The boys and Monkey had a little screen time while the younger girls and I got the bonfire going in the fire ring. We nursed it along for quite awhile and finally had a splendid blaze.

Once the fire settled down into hot coals and small flames, everyone roasted up their dogs and enjoyed a few s’mores.

After people had been eating for awhile, the Buster turned to me with huge eyes and said, “Mom…BUBBLES!”

We had forgotten about the bubble bouncers.

They produced the same reaction they always do.

Then we were very excited when Uncle Buds walked in the gate. I hadn’t expected him to get home until much later, but there he was!

Great excitement ensued when three bird eggs were discovered in planters.

After youngers and I ran cousins home to get ready for their last couple days of school, we zipped home to enjoy a little more time outdoors.

What a great way to cap off many hours of time together over the last months.
