when Summer starts in Spring

Ben's last day of preschool was yesterday so this morning he woke to some goodies to help get Summer started right.  This welcome to Summer is becoming a fun tradition but this year I held it off until the morning after because we had Sasha's graduation after school.  I'm sure there are more emotions than Ben can describe so honoring the big change (in a fun and inexpensive way) might help justify those emotions.  Our Summer is starting early as we moved from the district that will be in school until the first week of June, and preschool in Littleton lets out a full week before the other schools.  It feels like we have an extra month of Summer (and like Spring just began), but I'm thrilled to have more time together and full open days for adventures.  Our July is packed with travel and August is always a blur so I'm looking forward to some quality pool time and down time before the dog days of Summer are upon us.
