Disneyland Paris and summer update

Well the kids are just COUNTING the days until their Disneyland Paris trip. We leave on Sunday, bright and early and we'll be there for 3 days! It will be a wonderful get-away for us. Even Kaitlyn is excited about seeing Mickey! The weather looks like it will be just IDEAL for our trip too. It will be in the mid/low 70's and sunny which is really the perfect weather for walking around (21 ish).

Today is the kids last day of summer camp for a week. They have already gone 2 weeks in a row now (4 day weeks) which has allowed me to get a lot of things organized and cleaned up around here! They have more or less enjoyed their time, but they don't like the cafeteria food! Other than that they are having fun. I got a lot accomplished this week. I sorted through all of their school affairs and arranged them in large ziplock bags in the basement. I have a bag for each year so far. I also oranized all the drawings that they have been doing this year into various folders for them. I spent a lot of time in the yard this week too because the grass was in need of my attention!

I won't forget to take a picture of Krista's winning drawing. It is just super. For now here are a few random photos of the summer so far...One from last night with Krista's craft from camp. It was a cardboard painted flag of England that she cut into puzzle pieces. The theme is European culture this week so they were able to pick and focus on a country. I also took a shot of one of Erik's masterpieces too. This week's theme for them is Magicians, Fairies and Trolls. I must say that Kaitlyn is bit bored without the kids, especially when I am doing something. Disneyland will be GREAT for her and everyone.
