Weekending: Tying Up Loose Ends

Seems I am destined to be perpetually late for everything these days. Sigh!

Joining Amanda (a little late) for Weekending.

These weekend was spent tying up some loose ends. 
Trying to wrap up school activities.  Editing papers.  Studying for finals.  Preparing for end of year parties and performances.
Looking through yearbooks and reminiscing about old times.
Eating leftovers and ordering pizza.
Being blown away by Justin Bieber's rise to fame (watched Never Say Never with Bella).
Testing for orange belt.  Many photos, hugs, kisses, and congratulations.  Lunch and frozen yogurt to celebrate.
Feeling an amazing sense of freedom when the last final had been taken and the last paper had been turned in. 
Having a productive family meeting to discuss our summer plans.
Leaving the household chores for another day to spend time as a family doing nothing in particular, but doing it together.

I think summer has officially started in our household.  Although the kids still have a couple more days of school our mindset has definitely shifted.  Can't wait to see what the new season brings!!
