Great weekend

We had such a perfect "kick-off to summer" kind of weekend.  It was so relaxing and fun. On Friday, I was able to go to a performance and awards ceremony for Harry.  His play surprised me ...I had no idea he was such a humorous entertainer.  He could have a future in acting!!! I was also pleasantly surprised at his awards ceremony. You may remember that the boys switched schools Thanksgiving week so they have not been at their current school for very long. Therefore, I was not expecting Harry to win any awards.  I am SO proud of him.  He was given for the citizenship award which is presented to a select group of students who demonstrate the values of the school on a daily basis.  He also won an award for academic excellence across all subjects and a special writing award for a story he wrote. He won one other award too.  I do not mean to sound boastful here (and I hope I do not) but this serves as my scrapbook for my children and I want to remember this special day and I want Harry to know how proud I am to be his Mom!!!
Saturday we spent some time at the beach with our good friends.  We had the best day! (I was too afraid to bring my new camera around all the sand..so these are with my old one).

The kids LOVE playing in the sand. The boys build drippy castles.

Kate and her friend dig, dig, dig!

Kate loved putting sand in this water bottle:)

She does not have a boo boo. She just loves her band-aids!

Harry rode some waves with a big smile.

Kate was timid at first but jumped a few waves with Daddy!

Will relaxing (or as he says "chillaxin") on the deck.

I love this shot of Harry looking through the telescope. He looks like he did when he was three...so cute.

Ahhh...Kate looks up to her big brothers so much.

I am trying to decide what to do with my blog this summer. I am enjoying this stage with my kids so much. The boys are independent and fun but they actually still like to hang out with me. Harry and I play baseball catch almost everyday and Will tells me everything. We have great talks. I know these days will not last forever and I don't want to waste time on my computer this summer. I want to relax with the kids, drink lemonade, read books, and hang out at the pool. However, I want to keep recording our memories. I am always feeling guilty that I cannot visit other blogs as often as I'd like.
