School is almost out! Well, in about two and a half weeks.:)

I finished up the end-of-the-year gifts for the teachers... and, of course, went with my good ol' standby of terra cotta pots.:)

I decorated as requested by each kid and ended up with a pretty cute collection of pots!

--A decoupage pencil/supply holder for the music/choir/orchestra teacher, an apple supply holder for the kindergarten teacher, a frog for the 1st grade teacher, a turtle for the 3rd grade teacher, and a giraffe pencil/supply holder for the 4th grade teacher--

We were parked at the school, waiting for the kids to get out, when Blessing #5 asked me to put in a CD.

Mom, will you play that "got-a-couple-dents-in-my-fender-got-a-couple-rips-in-my-jeans-perfection-is-my-enemy" song?

I popped Francesca Battistelli into the player and listened as my four-year-old sang to his baby sister.

I also noted his attempt to release her grip from the red blanket that was covering her.;)

And that he didn't so much put the baby to sleep as he did himself. As the song ended, he closed it out with a big yawn.

Swinging sensation!;)

Yesterday evening I looked outside to watch the kids playing in the backyard. I was pleasantly shocked to see that Blessing #6 was sitting on the big-kid swing... and instinctively pumping her legs!

Goodness, the little thing isn't even two!
