Second to last day of school and Caterpillars

We are so excited that today is the second to last day of school. Some of Mackenzie's friends have been out of school since Friday and we are excited that this school year is almost done. Mackenzie will miss her friends at school and hopefully I will do a good job of getting her together with at least a few of them. She will also miss her teacher as she has really enjoyed having her and has done really well this year at school. But we are looking forward to a summer break to relax, spend more time as a family and enjoy the summer. We leave this friday to kick off our summer on our annual trip to the beach. It will be Ellie's first and I am wondering what she will think of the ocean and our time at the beach. But as always we are excited to be going and looking forward to seeing our friends the Lukes, who invite us on their annual vacation with them. Yes...they are crazy! I will spend this week getting ready to go and keeping up with the last week of ballet. Mackenzie and Ainsley have practice on stage Tues night and than their dress rehersal the morning of the performance on friday...in between their will be cleaning, packing, playing, and more packing. We should be ready to go by Friday.
On a side note...Ainsley loves caterpillars which is why it is particularly funny that I have a caterpillar tatoo. I got it because it was small and cute and the tatoo place didn't have any small cute frogs. I wanted a frog but all the ones they had were large and quite ugly so I resorted to the caterpillar. I don't actually like the creepy crawly things but my tatoo is quite cute. I got a package in the mail this past week which had some clothes from my friend Sarah..in the package she also included a gift for me. She had found it shopping and thought I might like it. As you can see from the following picture, I have very cool friends:) The caterpillar that she sent me is almost an exact replica of my tatoo even the colors of it. Amazing! We have given it a place of honor and prominence in the house:)
