wrapping up another school year
I feel like we spent at least the last three weeks "wrapping up" school. Fifth grade camp and field day and class parties and sign up geniuses for so many juice boxes and dress shirts ironed for graduation ceremonies.
And now it's suddenly time to pick strawberries and sell lemonade, to visit Buckeye Lake and attend block parties. Parade decorations crafted and swim team suits readied for early morning practice and baseball uniforms to be washed again. And again.
Summer break may have called time of death on any productive projects I dreamt of doing but it has opened the doors for all sorts of fun!

a dream is a wish
Recently, first graders were tasked with creating "little Grandview" - a tour of favorite places in miniature. Crafts are an ordinary part of Hank's life at our house, like we are seriously just one butter sculpture shy of the state fair over here. But Hank took this diorama assignment to the next level, and neighbor Deb was HERE FOR HIM. He knocked on her front door every day after school for weeks, and they used hair spray and spray paint, watercolors and hot glue, modeling clay and buttons... All of his crafting dreams came true and Wyman Woods has never looked so good.
