Hi everyone! I am gearing up for a long summer with the kiddo's at home..well in between some camps and vacations we have planned.
Lets see: Ava has safety town for 2 weeks this month to help prepare for kindergarten, a ballet camp in July, ballet classes every tuesday am, and tutoring club Monday and wednesday am to help her get a kick start on reading. She is smart. She is already reading simple books and can do all of the math that Ajay brings home and he is almost done with first grade.
Ajay is doing lots of camp this summer to help keep him occupied and in a routine. I schedualed him for the fun camps at our rec center..he has a pirate week, a wacky water week and a zoo week. Plus my mother is taking him for 2 weeks in the end of July into 2nd week of August. That will be a nice break for both of us. My mom is most likely going to spoil him to pieces.
Abi: She is doing a nice outdoors hike camp this month at her school, then she has a ballet intensive in July. In addition to that she has piano every week and takes ballet classes every Wednesday and Thursday evening.
We are going to Hilton Head the end of July which will be so much fun. I have to start planning it but I for sure want to take a day or 2 to go to Savannah. Bobby and I were there when I was pregnant with Ava so many years ago. I want to go to Paula Deans' restaurant the Lady and SOns. It will be an interesting vacay because it will just be Bobby and I and the girls. I already had it booked since January and when My mom told me the dates she can take Ajay they happened to be the same. So we took her up on it.
Abi's parties are getting to be a little more difficult. She has 2 sets of very important friends...school ones and ballet ones. The ballet ones are closer to her..so she want to have an exclusive party with just them..and then her school ones she wants to invite all the girls to a pool party. The entire 3rd grade is only 20 girls..so it is small. If you don't invite them all they will defintely be upset. Remember hers is a small school and the girls have been together since Kinder. I am thinking a sleepover and a trip to the movies for her ballet girls...decisions decisions.
I am done with my portrait class this week! I uploaded my finished storyboard last night. All I need now is to wait for the instructors feedback. This is so important to me because I don't really have the confidence in my skills. I am not an artistic person at all..I have to really really try hard at it and practice. It comes much more easily to most I have to admit.
Here is my storyboard and artistic statement:
Things between Bobby and i are going ok. We still aren't where we should be..i still think of those that have wronged me and I still feel deceived all around. The good thing is...and it has taken a year to do...that my anger is disappating. Therapy has worked wonders for my soul. I haven't worn my wedding ring in over a year now..and at times I feel like I want a new one..but at the same time I am not ready to remarry Bobby. How can you marry someone you just don't trust?
Ava had her last little miss Brecksville parade on Memorial Day. She looked so cute! Here are a few pics that I snapped:
Ava also graduated from Preschool. So sad. I cried. I am no longer a mother of a preschooler.
Abi and Ava had their CBC ballet recital on May 23rd..it was called "A Mermaid's Tale". Abi was a rainbow fish and Ava was a turtle and water. Here are a few pics..I haven't corrected many yet..
Ajay and Ava's spring soccer ended last Saturday. We had a great day weatherwise. Now our saturday mornings are free! Yeah..no more early morns! We get to sleep in!
Again not many pics corrected but here are 2:
The girls and I love Broadway shows so I purchased tickets to see Mary Poppins in August. Then later that month Bobby and I are going to see the American Idol tour! I can't wait to see Adam Lambert. Sigh..I was disappointed to not see him win..but I am sure he will be the best performer there that night!
So that is, in a nutshell, all the events planned for the Singh Household this summer. What are you all up to??? Don't be shy..come out from lurking and drop me line or 2!!
