Last Day of Spring Break

What a great week we've had---we spent some lazy time at home, we went to Atlanta twice (once to the Fernbank Museum & the other to Zoo Atlanta) & of course, Sunshine had her birthday!

We love the zoo & try to get there at least once a year. This year we realized that an annual pass would be the smart way to go so there will be lots more trips for us between now & April 2012!

We were able to see the baby panda--Po as well as the baby giraffe, Glenda. Sunshine had a great time & decided that this trip's souvenir would be a giraffe.

We ran by Aunt Holly & Uncle Mark's to say hello as well as to pick up a birthday present & Christmas present that was accidentally left behind at the holidays. A quick trip to Perimeter Mall (LOVE) for dinner & some shopping followed. We saw cousin Megan & then were on our way home.

Today is our last day of Spring Break---Sunshine is playing with her dolls, Hunter is panning for gold in the drive way (I need to dedicate a blog post to this new hobby) & I'm enjoying the laziness. Grocery shopping can wait until tomorrow. Laundry may get done today, we'll see.

This week starts prep work for our BOGO book fair at the end of the month---the letter home to parents has been written but needs to be printed, copied & sorted by classroom. Then the fun of stapling to the flyer so teachers can distribute to their students. A week of quiet & then the set up (which doesn't intimidate me now that I've done it!), the thrill of the fair & then pack it up until Sept when our big fair starts.

I can't believe that after BOGO there will be 3 weeks left of school. I don't want this school year to end! Sunshine has had SUCH a wonderful experience in 1st grade. We love her teacher & really are very sad at the idea of leaving her. I know Sunshine will have a great 2nd grade teacher (we're really blessed at our school----nearly every teacher is exceptional in his or her own way), but Mrs. P has been INCREDIBLE. I will miss seeing her.

Enjoy your Sunday and for those of you going back to school tomorrow---may your 1st day back go smoothly!
