Countdown to summer

By -
The countdown to the end of the school year was fun!  We've never experienced summer break in the Skeldon household, in my opinion preschool doesn't really count because you barely go to school to begin with....so this is going to be a real, truly earned through hard work, summer for Whit!

Her class did an ABC countdown using each letter of the alphabet to do something fun until the very last day.  Crazy hair, hat day, silly socks, bring a Frisbee or kite, Cincinnati Reds day,  western day and so many more.  It made the last month go by so quickly.  

Also within that last month she had her last Daisy Troop meeting for the year and a field trip that her dad got to go on with her to the Cincinnati Children's Museum.  They had a blast and were BOTH very tired that evening!

The last day of school was awesome.  She had some sadness about missing her teacher and friends but was more excited about summer and spending time at home with us!  Whitney has grown so much this year and is really a gifted little girl.  

During the last school mass Whitney was awarded the Principals Award.  Mrs. Rhoten (the principal) stated that this award is given to students that have proven that their presence in the school as well as the world we live in makes a difference.  She went on to describe how these students have big hearts, care for others and make each day a blessing.  We know that Whitney embodies this and it was especially awesome to see her recognized for this at her school.  So proud of our little girl and all that she does to help make this world we live in a better place :)

We ended the day with a kindergarten carnival and an award from Mrs. Krause saying that she thinks Whitney is a future author....and we agree, she is always always writing stories and letters!

So long kindergarten and welcome glorious summer!!

South Haven, Michigan

We love Michigan and had such an amazing time on our family trip to South Haven this year.  The 4.5 hour drive was easy with older kiddos and totally worth it for the memories we made this year! An old high school in downtown South Haven was renovated into lofts recently and we decided to check it out.  It was such a cute place with pieces of the high school here and there for memory sake.  They had old school desks as the sinks in the bathrooms and lockers turned on their side used as planters throughout the building.  The lofts were very nice and spacious and had an indoor pool and movie theater. We had some great food this time around and even met up with some friends that were staying nearby.  The girls loved being on floats in the water, swimming in the pool and checking out downtown.  I would say the highlight of the trip was the dune ride we took on a rainy morning.  It was so much fun and had such amazing views!! Spending five uninterrupt...

Broken Bone

During quarantine Ryan and I were always saying to the girls, "be careful and don't break anything, we dont want to have to go to the ER during this crazy time...." Whit of course breaks her wrist smack dab in the middle of it all!!!  Myself, Ryan and both girls have never broken a bone -- why does it happen when we literally aren't supposed to and don't want to leave the house!?!? Whitney was riding her scooter on April 22 and the wheel got caught in a crack on a neighbors driveway, down she went catching herself with her left wrist.  She immediately screamed out, "I BROKE MY ARM!!!"  I knew it was a bad fall but everything looked okay, just a little blood and I thought this is like her other falls where she is pretty dramatic.  Fast forward and hour and she is feeling sick to her stomach and still in a whole lot of pain.  We luckily have several neighbors in the orhto field that took a look at her arm; she put it in an ice bath and they suggested t...

Fantasy Football

Football season has arrived which means all the men in our family start using "uh huh" and "mmmm hmmm" as their main vocabulary.  This is especially true on draft day when all of them gather at the Sims house for good food and lots and lots of football talk!  The girls make sure they are "seen and not heard" on this day and usually congregate far away from the madness that ensues inside.  Picture this: 15 or so guys huddled over pages and pages of spreadsheets listing every football player worth anything in the NFL, scrambling to make just the right pick, only to receive 'smack' talk from all the other guys about how that wasn't the pick they would have made.  Bret doesn't mess around and has a larger than life poster to list all the draft picks with color coordinated stickers.....Im telling you if you haven't experienced this you won't believe your eyes!!  Once the draft if over (after about two hours of the above craziness) they a...
