School's Out!

One son finished school yesterday and the youngest one finishes in about an hour! Major excitement in the house, that's for sure.

I'm picking up five boys from school, taking them out to lunch to South Street Burger and then they're going paint balling for the afternoon.

Something tells me I'm going to have a tired little munchkin by tonight :o)

Here's to a summer of sunshine, ice cream and just plain old fun!

Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!!!!!

It was my youngest son's 9th birthday yesterday.  He had a party last week, so yesterday was relatively quiet.  They skiied all day and then came home to a raclette meal.  For those of you who aren't familiar with raclette, it's a swiss cheese.  You slice it up and each person grills their own cheese which they then eat with potatoes, fresh bread, ham..whatever you like.  It's very social and lots of fun and the boys love it.

I made an ice cream cake by using vanilla and chocolate icecream and throwing in some crushed Skor bars and Malteasers.  What a sugar fix!  No junk food for me for the rest of this week.  I love the candles I put in the cake.  Can't remember where I bought them but they're so lovely and bright and burn for ages.
