Yep, I guess that means the end is HERE! Today we headed off to the "first day of school". We had orientation this morning! Counts as a day, but the first OFFICIAL day of FIRST GRADE is Monday! WOW! Here it is! 
A little "brotherly love" to celebrate!
All he wanted was a picture with Daddy! Can you tell?
Not sure about the one with Mommy, but ok!
Photography by Slick! Good job, dude!
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what greeted us!
The boys were very good about it! But I did think we should do something fun! So cookies seemed to do the job!
Oh well, some things are beyond our control! Speaking of, the boys can't wait to be "in a hurricane!" HAHA! They have NO IDEA! Should be interesting!
and books! (Reading is something daddy usually does with the boys before bedtime! Tonight since daddy wasn't home, mommy did!)
Then, bedtime together in "brother's" bed on the TOP bunk!!!!!
Sweet Dreams! (At least I hope!)
I love the socks and boxers! When I went to take a picture, he said, "Mom, make sure you get my shoes!" HAHA! Too funny! This kid's mind never stops! I love how he's always thinking ahead! He's definitely my "planner"!
With FRIENDS!
There's a LOT of peaches to be cooked, frozen, canned...
Still going...and still HAPPY! This has to be the longest they've lasted yet! My little boys are growing up!
Ready to go in the oven!
Finished product! (Thanks to Gramma Dale!) They look good enough to eat!
This has to be my favorite one of the day! HAHA! That would be Spike's! So creative!
After dinner tonight we thought we'd try again! To find ducks that is. I asked a few people today and they all told me the same park, so we tried there! We loaded up the boys bikes and headed out. Got there and I ran the track while they rode their bikes. No sign of ducks the whole way around. We got back to the car and we heard a bunch. There was another family that I saw going into down by the banks with a bag of bread. Then we heard the ducks, actually I think they were geese, even LOUDER. We turned to see the family RUNNING away! It was so loud! The family ran to their car and got in. There was nothing we could do since the boys had their bikes. Slick went to hide around the back of a car only to come around the front with 2 little buggers following him. I can't beleive the boys were actually kind of scared! These things were "nasty", according to Slick!
I asked if they wanted to just get our bread out and feed them since they were there! They said "No way! Let's just get in the car! Hurry!" We did. I figured we'd find some up stream!
Sure enough! Two lonely duckies out on a date! They just floated in front of us the whole time! I thought the "nasty" ones would be there sooner or later, but they never came. The boys were very glad about that!
So, at last, we got to feed the ducks! Only gave them each a piece since there were only two! 
All-in-all, it was a success, I guess! The only thing is, we've still got bread to get rid of! So, we'll try again tomorrow, maybe!
Seven more sleeps till school starts! This mommy's trying to make the MOST of this very short week! So today we went to the park. It's a park right in town, but I keep avoiding it cause it's SO BIG! Can't avoid it any longer! (Actually we went looking for ducks to feed, but there weren't any so we ended up on the playground!)
Working on our balance...
Trying the monkey bars!
Working hard...
He did finally get these on his own!
Now here's the REAL monkey!
Crazy boys! Fun times!
