Quarantine Hair - Don't Care - NOT!

RJ's last haircut was in February!  His hair just kept growing and growing and growing!  He didn't really want Daddy to cut his hair because he was scared he would buzz it.  At this point a buzz would have probably grown back already!  RJ's side burns were growing like crazy!  His mutt-chops were so long that we teased him we would soon be able to tie them together and give him a beard, haha.

And... now we can see his face again!  He said he was so glad to be able to see again and it felt much lighter so he won't sweat as much!

I can't believe how much his haircut cost though!  $25+ tip on top of that.  Holy cow!  Barbers are expensive - but if you want a good haircut...

Father's Day Fun!

Happy Father's Day to all the Daddy's and Pop Pop's out there!  Today was a busy, hot, and fun day!

It started with a yummy breakfast (that Daddy made himself because he likes his food!)

Then we headed out to the rail trail and enjoyed a nice long (hot) bike ride.

We made a delicious supper!

An owl for his present!  In hopes to keep the birds away from his blueberries.

Morgan and Momma made a yummy key lime pie dessert!  Delicious!

Puppy Love

The kiddos love their pups!

End of School Year Playdate!

 Morgan had a couple friends over and RJ had a friend over to celebrate the end of the school year!  They had fun playing separately and together!  

Right before this picture one of the girls fell of her skateboard and ended up having a broken hand.  Oh boy - what a way to start the summer for her!  My last words were to be careful!

Water Balloons on a hot day - and better yet playing a game with water balloons is perfect!

Teacher Drive-By!

Tonight a bunch of fifth graders got together and we did a car parade past each of the 5th grade teacher's homes.  They agreed this was ok ahead of time! It was a bunch of fun!  I hope they loved it as much as each kid loved seeing their teachers one last time!

Mrs. Stottlemyer... he was so fast I missed it!

I missed Ms. Tegge because he was just way too fast...

BUT I did manage to get Mr. Wolfinger!!

The sign RJ made (with Morgan's help) that he hung out the window at each teacher's house!

Amazing Morgan

More delicious macrons! 

Last day of 5th and 7th!

 Ending 7th grade!

Ending 5th grade!

Quarantine Style!  But we made it!

Here's to a great summer ahead!!

5th Grade Graduation - RJ

Tonight marked the end of elementary school for RJ!  Wow!  The end of elementary school... trying to let that sink in!  I cannot believe he will be entering 6th grade... here in Quakertown the 6th grade center, but in the real word - Middle School!  Gack!  That is a made up word, but I don't think I have any other words!!

I along with many other ladies worked so hard on getting the 5th grade event ready and in order!  "Lights Camera Action!" was our theme... we were getting everything in order from a photo booth to the DJ to an escape room!  We were even working on getting a video crew to come out so the kiddos could do little videos!  I was researching the food... I love food... so why not head up the food committee?  lol

WELL... as we all know... COVID-19 really put a wrench in our plans!  We racked our brains and we decided to do a drive by parade!  We would drop off a sign at each 5th graders front yard and give them their 5th grade shirt!  Although we all thought it was an amazing idea - the school district, especially the principal refused to help us one bit... we had to find all the parent's emails/phone numbers and figure out everything by ourselves!  If someone was against the idea, obviously we wouldn't swing by their house but due to the lack of help from the district it was a lot of leg work for us... so glad to report it all came together and we found all our contact information!!

Last evening I drove in the parade... so fun! Decorated cars and more honking than I've ever done (or heard) in my life!!  It was so magical to see all those smiles (and maybe a little embarrassment) as we dropped off their last 5th grade memoirs! The parade was headed by fire engines who also turned on their sirens!  It gave me goosebumps!

Tonight was RJ's night!!  I didn't ride in the parade because I wanted to be home with him for this special event.  MeMom and Pop Pop also came over to see it all happen!  AND tonight, Daddy AKA Officer Lee rode in the parade too!  It was amazing!  Although RJ was a little embarrassed I think - he was so excited to see all the attention for him! Lights blinking, sirens going, horns honking!  It was such a happy occasion in this time of gloom!

I can't wait to see how RJ will do in 6th grade!  Fingers crossed it only takes one F to snap him into shape... those organizational skills worry me a little bit... but for now we will enjoy the ending of an era!
