So, I've really been dreading school getting out. I do look forward to no homework, no schedule, no carpool, and having my kids home. It's just that summer is so hard. Having Ian home all day is exhausting to say the least. Not to mention the housework, the fighting, and the boredom. I am trying to remain positive and I am hopeful for a great summer. I have a plan. I think it'll work. I think I will be ok. We decided to start summer off with a bang and have a water party. The day started pretty shaky because I didn't send Ian to school and I didn't get anything done. Owen was driving me crazy from the get go because he was so excited for the party to start. We had a blast with our friends getting wet and soaking up the sun...for a little bit. It didn't stay warm for long and the wet kids started shivering . We quickly did the pinata and everyone went on their way. Ian stayed inside for the entire party and didn't want to join us. When I went in to check on him his lips were slightly blue. I took him upstairs to lay him down and he started having a seizure. At 5 minutes I gave him his rescue med and he finally stopped. But, not without throwing up all over my bed. Poor kid. Three hours later and he is still sleeping. Our summer vacation sure started off fun! I hope the rest of the summer is less eventful!

6th grade graduation & BBQ
After the graduation the kids headed over to the park for a bbq and waterslide. Matthais will be going to a different Jr. High than most of these kids because he went to school in a different city for the A.L.L. program. I still think he made some great friends.

Vindicated
Today I had the most AMAZING meeting with the principal at Ian's new school. Without going into too much detail, let's just say she said all of the things I've been thinking for the last year. I finally felt vindicated in regards to my thoughts and feelings on his initial school change and the pending school change. I've really never felt like I've had a voice concerning all that was happening with him. I feel that way no more! I was amazed at her passion for a child she has never met before. I finally felt like I had someone who knew what an amazing child Ian is and I felt like I finally had someone on my side. To say I am excited about next year is an understatement!! And, we are able to start him in June!! That means he will be adjusted to the new school by time school starts in August and we won't lose a few months to transition. The previous plan was to have him go to one school in the summer and switch to this school in August. I am elated that we don't have to do that!! I have such a different outlook on our summer and on our future with Ian in the public school system. I finally feel at peace with the direction we are going.

Hot Shots Year end Concert
Can I tell you just how much I love Hot Shots Dance Studio??? Wanna know why I love them so much? They understand that these girls are just that, little girls. I love their modest costumes, I love their non-suggestive dance moves. If any of you have seen this video of the 9 year-olds doing Single ladies you know just what I am talking about. Hot Shot's year end concert was amazing (even if my dad and Adam were a little bored. They don't love dance like I do!) They did Alice in Wonderland and the costumes were great! I forgot to bring my digital camera so the only photos I took were with our camcorder and too dark. Here are the pictures Cory Adams took. The first one is from her Competition dance "Little Red Riding Hood".
The next two are from her parts in the Alice in Wonderland part of the show.

Hot Shot's has amazing teachers who love the girls and love what they do and we have made some great friends at the studio as well. I really do just love it!
Millie is looking forward to another great year of dancing and I am too!

Oh my!
Yes, it really snowed today. Good thing I haven't planted my garden yet. It's one of those rare times when my procrastinating might actually pay off!
