THAT MEANS........

• not only sleeping in BUT lying in bed till you feel like rolling out OR until the guilt hits you of all the things you SHOULD be doing
• no worries of homework or projects...... just imagination
• feeling the heat of the sun burn and soak into your skin
• swimming til you can't swim anymore
• thunderstorms and a few cherished drops of rain
• blackmailing children into cleaning their rooms in exchange for trips to Target
• sunburned shoulders and peeling skin
• not cooking big meals because it's just too hot to eat too much
• staying awake as long as your eyelids will allow
• endless play dates and sleepovers at Grandma's

AND SPEAKING OF NO MORE SCHOOL-

the kids had their awards ceremony on the 8th of July and here are the results........

drum roll please

First up Lauren:

The first award she received was the Nevada Citizenship Award. To earn this you must memorize all the Nevada governors, physical and Native American map, the counties and their seat, state symbols, state song, preamble, Native American tribes that dwelt here, and the bordering states. Her reward for all this hard work was no homework for the last couple of weeks of school(or was that for me?) plus she received a certificate and medal.

She also received citizenship, A/B Honor Roll and Excellent Gladiator for exceeding the standards on the CRT state assessment. Way to go Lauren!!

Jace also reeled 'em in with A Honor Roll and citizenship. GO JACE!!
