Well, it is the end of the school year and time to catch up on all the happenings and summer plans. 

Mini had his 5th grade graduation this week where he got his promotion certificate and his ALPHA paperwork. We also have his ALPHA portfolio with everything he has done the entire time he was in the ALPHA program. Just looking through that, it is amazing to see how much he has grown over the last few years, academically. 

About 2 months ago, Mini and a friend found an abandoned box turtle outside in the street. So, we now have a box turtle. Mini has researched all he could about the turtle and has taken care of him, misting his habitat every morning, fluffing the stuff at the bottom of the bin he is in, helping to change the water, and keeping track of what he likes to eat and what he does not eat. We named him Tank after the turtle on MLP. 

Our summer plans are still being worked out. It is shaping up to be an exciting and fun summer! But, for now, Mini and I are working on some late spring cleaning and decluttering. I also have a few projects I’m working on, 3 different afghans and 2 quilts plus some small items. 

What does everyone have planned for summer?
