Beginning of Wrap Up

This is the time of year that we begin to wrap up the school year.  There are a lot more bake sales, as they are trying to get the last of the fund raisers to do end of year activities.  I have been making cupcakes and cookies every week for a month now.  The kids have more tests.  They are practicing more for their upcoming PAT's. PAT's are for Grade 3,6,9, and 12 students, so I have all of my kids doing them this year. And also practice and doing finals. Yesterday we had our the last piano lesson for the year.  This week I also made my last dental payment for braces and retainers.  This means I should have $300 extra a month, but it is funny how I never seem to see it. Extra money always seems to have another immediate use.  We are into soccer, which is the last sport of the school season for us. School trips are getting planned and papers turned in. The weather is turning warmer and we have had some great days lately.  Girls are starting to get prepared for YW camp this summer.  We made our yearly 'List of Thing to do This Summer' a couple of days ago.  It is definitely the beginning of the end.
