**How was your weekend weather?
Did you go to the cemetery?
Are you sick of rain?**
Comment Window Tidbit: These last few days at school are pointless. We watched movies in all 4 classes today! I also successfully completed my first Sudoku puzzle.

Wow, we have been out of school for 2 weeks here.
Cupcake sale, I love it. Luci and griffin have been earning $1 a day each watering neighbor's plants and feeding cats and fish while they are away on vacation.
We had a nice relaxing holiday weekend. Did some yard projects and I took the older two on a few bike rides. Had friends over to eat vegetarian pizza.
Will creative Fridays resume soon?
Our weekend weather was wonderful -- hot enough I have sun blisters on my lips. Not good for our upcoming wedding reception this weekend.
I did go to the cemetery. We put irises on an unvisited Viet Nam vet's grave, and a pot of flowers on our granddaughter's grave.
I am not sick of rain. However, I was worried last week that the rain would ruin everything so I should say I'm not sick of rain today.
I agree. The last few days of school are Pointless with a capital P. That means you're getting out soon. We still have three more weeks. Ugga, ugga.
I.AM.SO.SICK.OF.RAIN....
but soon I will be complaining of heat? so what can you do?
We had a very nice but truthfully boring weekend.
I TOTALLY agree- what's up with movies in school? get this--- hailey has watched "the simpsons" three classes in a row in "art history!?"
what???
This is our tax money at work?
Our Memorial Day was about as low-key as it could get. I guess we were all tired out from working on Saturday? Or maybe it was the non-stop rain that beat the energy out of us.
Today was so so beautiful. But like Patsy, I fear I will be complaining of the heat all too soon. Utah!
The last week of school is such a joke. I guess they just have to get in their required number of days? The kids love it, though. Field day, dance festival, and tomorrow the 6th graders are going to be playing Wii games! Whatever.
I am showing a movie tomorrow since it is the last B-day at my school. However, it is a documentary about Origami that is really cool and then we will spend the last 20 minutes doing Origami. It is an art class. I could never bring myself to show an off-topic movie. (Really in my case the point of the movie is to have something for the kids who have finished their final project while the others finish up. We will have lights on in the back of the room for those who need to work.)
Emily and I worked together for three-and-a-half hours on Monday in our flower garden. Very satisfying! I need to post about it.
And speaking of gardens, remember the coupon link you publicized last year for some online nursery? I ordered a pack of six flower somethings that ended up looking like Dr. Suess plants. They've since more than quadrupled in size and are now promising to bloom. The jury is still out on whether or not they're actually pretty. Stay tuned.
Yeah, we're not out until the 10th. I have mixed feelings about it...
Yes, it's supposed to be sunny! What gives? It's not like me to complain about cool weather, but this is getting ridiculous...
Our kids don't get out until the
16th! Isn't that crazy?
With the exception of our ward picnic, much of my memorial day was spent remembering when it wasn't so blazing hot! It's been like a furnace lately! I can see why the crime rate goes up in the summer....
I feel like visiting the cemetary on Memorial day seems more like a Utah-thing. I like that you do that and really think that next year, we'll try to incorporate that into our day...
I remember that cemetery from your past Memorial Day posts. Those flags are awesome.
That Franklin quote is very interesting.
