This past weekend was such a great one . . . and I even had to work a half day on my day off :). It started on Friday when I was due to volunteer in Ryan's Kindergarten class for the last time this year. I am only able to go every other Friday--this coming Friday will not be my Friday to volunteer and then they are out of school next Thursday. Can't believe this year has gone by so quickly!! I can't believe he is going to be going into the 1st grade! Where does the time go? Anyway, Friday was Field Day at Ryan's school. The older grades went on a fieldtrip, but the grades that did not go on the fieldtrip had a Field Day. I was able to volunteer for the Field Day and had so much fun! Ryan's class
stayed together as they went through the game stations. They had a three-legged race, potato sack race, dizzy bat race, blew bubbles, and other relays. It was so neat! Ryan had such a great time and managed to get unbelievably dirty!
Finally, yesterday we pulled the kid's swimming pool out of the shed to see how it fared over the winter. We have had so many people tell us that their pools and other summer toys only last that given summer. Holes infest the toys and they are not able to be inflatable the next summer-we lucked out! No holes!! The kids splashed and splashed and had such a great time swimming all afternoon! And, bonus for us . . . we don't have to buy a new pool! :)

ds a swingset. We had always thought it was not necessary to have a swingset since we live within walking distance of a school playground and within very close proxmity of another school playground, but the kids are getting to the point where they can go in the backyard by themselves . . . and had nothing to do in the backyard:). After putting our swing set together, the kids had such a great time with it this weekend! Several of 
our neighbor's kids came over to play with them--we have now become the popular house. While the kids were swinging Mike and I finished up our deck that we moved. Well, almost finished . . . we still need steps on it :). It is looking so great!
