After a successful puppet book report on Henry and Mudge, we are officially done for the year! 

Grandma was his lucky guest to attend his "Portfolio Party"

He showed her all the work he has been doing this year, sang a few songs, and then ate refreshments.  

I  was allowed only because I signed up to serve refreshments. ;)

 He rocked it in the math bowl today!

And when I say rocked, I mean he answered one of the thirty questions!

Today we cleaned out our garden and bought some seeds and plants (we will plant them on Monday).

After we cleared the weeds, it was a fun surprise to see we had some volunteers - chives, lettuce, potatoes & broccoli!  I am so excited to finally have a garden.

 B Girl also spent over an hour deep cleaning the tramp.  So cute.
