Raccoon Finnley

For Finn's last day of school the kids got to dress up as whatever they wanted. Finn, having just spent a weekend at Disney Land (post on that soon to come), and having had breakfast with the Disney characters one of our mornings there, knew exactly what he wanted to dress up as. I have only seen the movie Pocahontas once, but you fans out there might remember a raccoon named Meeko. He was at the character breakfast and made a HUGE impression on one shaggy haired little dude we all know.

First Marshmallow Roast of Summer

 

   

 

    

Yesterday we had a BBQ, just the three of us at our place, and we ended things with a marshmallow roast! Finn is at such a magical age. I know that is a totally cheesy thing to say, but it's that age when you appreciate the excitement of jumbo sized marshmallows, a fire outside, the sun staying up till 8pm!

Finn's last day of Pre-school is this Friday! Big deal for him, HUGE deal for me. Jacob's job requires him to leave for over a week at a time and when Jacob is gone Finn and I really rely on each other. The days he spends at school can be productive, but were you a fly on the wall you would see a crazy lady talking back to the chefs on Food network and staring at her cell phone waiting for something... anything. Luckily, Jacob's new job means way fewer nights away, and Finn's last day of preschool means every morning at the pool!

I raise my marshmallow and say cheers to a summer of less lonely days and nights!
