KNOCK KNOCK

This particular day we were shopping at Ikea and I couldn't help but adore Ben as he was walking ahead of me with the three big girls. That dude has four little girls to lead, protect, and love and that is a mighty big responsibility! Then throw me in the mix, well, his job just got a whole lot harder.

I will always wonder what a little boy that consisted of Ben and me would look like, but I really think a boy would totally throw off our mojo. Having girls is all we know and we love it. Tutus everywhere, pink all the time, princesses and playing house galore. Ben does a great job with all of that.

Ben always said that when he was younger he could never get girls. I think the scale about evened out now, don't you?!!

OUT TO SCHOOL: 30

That's it. Enrichment classes are done for the year and next year I will be sending two little girls off to school one day a week. The last day went out with a bang as there was a big water party filled with water games. I hung out at the school and helped out and observed my little shy girl in action. 

The day before, as I was pondering what we could gift to her four teachers, I asked True, "True, what do your teachers like?" She replied, "Well, my math teacher likes math. My Spanish teacher likes Spanish. My art teacher likes art and my theatre teacher likes games." I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. She's cute.

Had my kitchen been operable, I would have baked them something, but instead when I needed a de-stresser from this game, I went to the grocery store to get her teachers strawberries. I think it was a simple and sweet gift and True took care of the note all by herself. 

The Bratcher house is almost ready for summertime (technically one day of homeschool left) and we have lots of summertime activities ahead. Now, if we could just finish up all this house construction.

on true: bathing suit, target. dress, little bean shop. flip flops, target.

OUT TO SCHOOL: 30

True's got one week left of school. She's homeschooled, but takes enrichment classes one day a week. I can't believe how fast the school year has flown by.

I like drawing. If I had the time, I could doodle all day. My dream job was to be animator and illustrate characters. Somehow that got lost in the shuffle somewhere and I became a teacher. I loved being a teacher too. I would also love to be a graphic designer and I randomly like to make little poems. When I lived in London with the BFF, I was making rhymes for everything and BFF would call me Toula Seuss. Toula because I had crazy hair (and glasses) like the girl from My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Seuss because I made rhymes all the time.  There are too many things I like to do. Ben says I have way too many hobbies.

on true: dress, vintage. socks, target. shoes, salt-waters c/o tea collection.

OUT TO SCHOOL: 29

When you're best friend emails you asking what did True wear to school, then you know you are a little behind in blogging. This week feels like such a mountain. There is so much going on and I feel like I might be coming down with mastitis, which I hope not because I got a race to run this weekend. I have been a big bottle of nerves and stress and this post is a little silly and that is what I need a big dose of... silly.

Yell, "I!" if you need a big dose of silly too.

We got about three weeks left of school. We'll continue homeschooling through the summer because does learning ever really stop? Nope. Next year when True's goes to her one day a week enrichment classes she'll be taking Brave along with her. I think that will be fun for them and for me because 2 kids at home is so much easier than 4! Can you believe Summer is almost here?

p.s. don't forget this, this, and this giveaway! ends tomorrow morning!!!
