Happy Ice Cream

School is OUT!!! Finally. No more logging in time spent on individual subjects, no set order for the day, and no more worrying if we'll get everything done. We finished what was required and scrapped what wasn't. And I have no major complaints with the charter school or our assigned teacher - she rocks!! Ha, she even complimented me (and Miss W) several times throughout the year on how organized and well prepared we were. Yeah, we hot. (sizzle, sizzle.) The best part is that Z is ready to move on to middle school and E to first grade. Woohoo!! We made it through another year! Of course, we've been celebrating by barely lifting a pencil or cracking open a book all week -- started our mental vacation a wee bit early. Shhhh. It's a secret.

On the birthday scene, I baked the second layer to Z's cake and cooked up some ice cream to go with. If all goes well, we'll freeze in our brand new PINK ice cream maker. No, Hello Kitty doesn't have an ice cream maker out, but it's the right shade of pink to blend in well with the Hello Kitty appliances that we already own. Z let it slip that E was bummed that I didn't make ice cream for his birthday. I took E aside and told that I didn't know that the pink ice cream maker existed. Had I known, we would have been making ice cream long ago. He understood perfectly, bless his little fuzzy head.
