So, we appear to be in the home stretch for school. There's roughly a month of classes remaining for Emma (and Timmy a week and a half less than that). That must mean summer is almost here! I wish the weather could stay like it is now ... it's mostly beautiful (with the occasional rain to add variety) ... usually in the high 60s or low 70s ... with a pleasant amount of moisture in the air and not much for bugs. Contrast that with later summer when it will be a humid high 80s and the mosquitos will get you when you go out in the evening. Ah well, we'll enjoy it while it lasts!
We don't have a ton of plans for the summer ... hopefully a trip to KC to enjoy some time at my aunt and uncle's cabin that we really like; a weekend camping trip; a few things like that, but mostly we'll be relaxing and enjoying the Wisconsin summer!
Speaking of school, we found out yesterday that Emma's old school in SoCal is closed for the next 1 - 2 weeks because two students came down with the Swine flu. Craziness. I haven't been following this closely, but what's the difference between this and the "normal" flu. Normal flu kills people too. Whatever. I understand that the big discussion there amongst the Moiola parents is whether this unexpected vacation will add time to the end of the school year or not.
As for the weekend. Cyndie had a successful time at her scrapbooking retreat. She's caught up* through most of 2006.
*Is it really caught up if you're not all the way through the present? Perhaps I need to use the English language a bit more properly.
The kids and I hung out with Gow, Laura and Sally a bit. The adults of that crew are making our way through 24, season six. Over the weekend evenings we got through the first 9 or so episodes. Saturday morning we ventured over to Kenosha to tour the Jelly Belly warehouse there (and of course try the samples). Afterward, we had a picnic at Lake Michigan which was a lot of fun!!
So, the week beckons again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
