June 21 is finally here!  
Longest day of the year!
Last Day of School!


Today didn't come soon enough for my kids!
They have been anxiously crossing off the calendar days until summer break!
I always like to do something fun for them on their last day to celebrate their accomplishments!
So, since I got called to work the past three days, I had to think of something quick and easy!  

 Last day of School Celebration!

Ice Cream on Sugar cones!!

Yeah, and everybody knows how summers are right???




















Jeff took the kids and rode to the bike park tonight!  
That was just what I needed! 
It gave me a chance to start summer off on the right foot!  
Now to gear up for Vacation Bible School next week!

Popcorn!

By
Jolly Time Popcorn For those of you who know my husband, he has a sense of humor that I love! He's been making fun of me for taking soooo many pictures of FOOD lately. When I started taking this impromptu video of him making popcorn, he got right into it! Jolly Time Popcorn: Pour  about 1/ 2 cup oil in the kettle.  May need to adjust measurements to fit your kettle size. Turn to a high heat and add 1/2 cup kernels. Be sure to keep a close eye on it and shake it to keep the kernels from burning. Once all the kernels stop popping remove from heat and salt. When Jeff and I first got married I didn't eat popcorn. I really didn't like getting the kernels stuck between my teeth! Then he introduced me to Tiny Tender Popcorn and Ladyfinger. I couldn't believe the difference!

By Wanda This morning I drug myself out of bed at 6:00 - trying to be a "good" mom and get up before my kids.  Actually - I am trying to be a WISE mom and get up before my kids, even during summer vacation.

Eggs, fresh coffee, just the way I like it - without being asked - it can't get any be
