It's the last day of school for my kids today...yippee!!!
I have little schoolkids on the brain at the moment.
I'll be helping with the "Fun Field Day" Limbo Station all afternoon. : )

Thanks everyone, for all of your super kind visits..

    Perhaps they are happy and a little sad about the same, is the last day of school.

    I loved summer vacations when I was a little school girl. I still love summer vacations now but they are only a week. I am thinking of finding another job where I am always on vacation.


    Your illustrations are adorable shirley. Last night I even talked about trying watercolors. You are such an inspiration.

    Very sweet Shirley. I worked in elementary school for years, the last day was so much fun, the kids were always giddy with excitement and so were we! Hope you had fun at field day.

    (at least that's what I believe is what happens)
    I was thinking about it you told me. I'm watching a movie you might be interested call: "What the bleep do we know". We choose and change the world around us. Parallel universes and quantum physics, is interesting.
    un beso.

    How cute!!!! Oh Shirley I know that the girls must be soooo happy! Zoe still has two more weeks to go and she is not liking it at all! I love the expression on the children's faces. You are so great at capturing wonderful and precious moments. This is stellar. I send you well wishes and hugs from Jersey! Hang in there girly!!

    These kids are great! I've always liked the "big head, little body" proportion. Nice work.
