The Westie Crew: Are We There Yet? How Much Longer?

Are We There Yet? How Much Longer?

Happy Monday! It's Spring Break in our neck of the woods, but not for the Crew. We are plugging on through because we took some time off in February when we seem to naturally hit a wall. S.B. is typically one of the best weeks for schooling that we have because all of our outside commitments are cancelled. Plus, going somewhere is a nightmare because there are usually hundreds of people with the same idea. And this Mama? NOT a fan of crowds! Man, I'm getting ornery in my old age. :D

Nevertheless, I am SOOOOOOOOOOO ready for school to be over for the year. It's been a good year for us... I'd say great, even... but we're all just ready for our Summer vacation! I can't wait to wake up and head out to my deck without freezing my patootie off. I long for the smells of grilling out and freshly mown grass. I'm ready for colors to return to nature again; brown and gray are getting a bit old. And the pool... oh, the POOL! Nothing screams Summer like the sight of waterlogged kids who only break to get *nutritionally refueled* with a freeze pop. You know, the kind that turn their whole mouths blue?

Yep, I'm ready! Only a few more weeks, right?

Glad you're having a good year.

Here's to the soon coming of those good grilling smells and the scent of new mown grass!; March 15, 2010 at 1:13 p.m.
Mocha with Linda said...: I'm ready too! Although since last year we had something like 87 days of over 100 degree temps, I'll stick with May and the first half of June!

We're on spring break this week too. My boy's on an international mission trip and the girl and I are just taking it easy.; March 15, 2010 at 7:51 p.m.

I can't wait for school to be over for us either. All of the above sound delightful. Can't wait for nice weather and definitely some color. We definitely do not need more rain here, either after our terrible flooding.
