End of year

I feel like i am clumsily acclimating  to being social again. Yesterday was a weird and forgetful one, but I kept my cool and it was full of good things. First up - Frankie and I met up with Roslyn and Megan in brandywine, which is a halfway point for us so the girls could have a day of fun. 

Frankie got to see her house and then they picnicked in a cool park. 



They quizzed each other on favorite things they both remembered about each other to see how well they remembered and also what might have changed in the years they’ve been apart. 

While the girls frolicked, we had extra kids over because Joni had an appt. They were great and easy. Then Sarah texted to see if Laney could play and I was like, send them all over, and that was still all good. But then I had to tutor at 3:45. I thought either Matt or Joni would be home, but neither of those ended up happening. So then I had the most stressful and crazy tutoring sesh ever. 🤦‍♀️ As soon as that ended it was time to pick up Frankie. Thankfully Matt made it home a few minutes later and I shoved the 10 kids on him and rushed out the door to make it back to brandywine in time. Frankie had a blast, but that drive twice in a day was a pain.  

Frankie and I popped over to buy Adi a few birthday gifties, and as we headed home I remembered I was going walking with Nola at 8. And I had a tutoring meeting at 7:30 that I zoomed into as I drove home. I ran inside and changed shoes and we hustled over to the school for a delightful walk and chat while the kids played and the fireflies flew. Delaney wore this funny outfit and I loved seeing her running around in it. Don’t mind tenkor a stuff everywhere. Alli found an apartment and they will be leaving us in a few weeks. It’s good and bad, but mostly good and everyone will be happy for all to be settled. 

Today I’ve sent roughly a million texts and emails but managed no phone calls. Yet. Delaney and Frankie are done with Time for Learning and Adi has just a few science lessons left. Then we’ll focus on art and social studies until schools out. Delaney enjoyed some comics and Fritos on the deck. 

We wrapped up some 13-year-old gifts. And so I can remember, I grabbed a pic. Because Frankie and Laney are already planning for their 13ths and I like to keep things even. 

These boys. 😍

They are getting so big and we can’t wait to see them this summer!
