getting ready for summer

it's coming! the kids get out of school on june 8. the last 2 weeks of school are going to be INSANE...between end of school activities/parties, end of softball/baseball, beginning of swim team practice every afternoon...insane!

so, i had planned for this week to be "prepare for summer" week. and then i got sick and can't put 2 thoughts together. i'm still declaring it "prepare for summer" week...and whatever i don't get planned/figured out, i guess we didn't need to do anyways!

i made this wreath a couple weeks ago in about an hour. one afternoon while we were all outside.

i used to decorate for holidays/seasons a lot more. every year that passes, the decorations get simpler and LESS. this is a good thing! but i still have some of my favorites that i LOVE to put out!

besides decorating, i have thought through the summer quite a bit...what our days will look like, goals for us as a family, etc.

i'm excited about it all! and will be sharing as we go!
