Water Babies!!!

Since today is the official day of Summer for us here at Team O’Neill,  I debated whether or not to post these two cuties or Alice Cooper's School's Out For Summer Song

Swimming, Sonic, and Beach…Here we Come!!!  Note Countdown to the right…

Not Me Monday!

NotMeMonday

MckMama created Not Me Monday posts where we are being brutally honest and living to tell about it!  She counts it as free therapy time for all of us out there to see what we so did not do this past week as moms, wives, and individuals…

1.  I so did not get on stage with my team members and sing Mr.Postman (originally sung by the Marvellettes) decked out in a pink boa and princess crown for the talent show.  We absolutely did not lip sic for the postman to deliver the summer vacation letter.

2.  The only line in the whole song that I absolutely do not know is…“The sooner the better, deliver the letter”…can we scream that on the rooftops? 

3.  I really did not wait until the last minute to finish up grading my 5th graders science assignment because I was blogging instead. 

4.  I absolutely would not post a picture of Dewey jumping off his parent’s pool fountain sporting his nice farmers tan (thank you baseball)…See post below.

5.  I have no clue that there are only 5 more days of school left…Can I get an A-H-M-E-N!!!!!!

6.  I “for real” did not write June 1st on my classroom board for the date.  Seriously?  June…someone needs to write the State of Texas!!!!

Fun and Frivolous Day at the Pool…

We went swimming today and I made Dirt Cake from Kelly's blog.  Only 5 more days of school…even though we got a taste of it today.

I love this picture…Carson is still a little timid of the water at the beginning, but he warms up quickly (see next picture).  Dewey is in the pool with the football trying to get him in the pool.

Nap Time. Sarah's dance recital was today and she fell asleep in the car on the way. This is how she spent the show. I was back stage helping the other girls with their dress changes.
She did wake up for the finale thought. She was still our shining star...even though she didn't dance with her class. Good Job girl...we are proud of you!



Sarah got an American Girl Dancer Doll from the grandparents. Thanks Grammy, Grandma, Pop and Papa Coach!!!...I think she likes it.

Dance Recital Rehearsal

We took a break from the family reunion (see post below) to attend the rehearsal for Sarah's dance recital. Her actual recital isn't until next Saturday, but this Saturday was rehearsal. She did great! Click here to see her tap routine (she is the one on your far left).
Sarah and Ms. Mary, her dance teacher
Sarah on stage (far left) with her two friends. Her other two friends ran off the stage in tears. Blueberry Hill is her song for her ballet dance.
Love her hair!!!
