For her birthday, Harper requested a manicure and pedicure, and a day jumping with her friends.  Her wishes came true, and while she didn't say a single word during the spa treatment,

she couldn't stop talking during her jumping party.  (Thankfully, she was able to squeeze in a quick nap with Grampy, prior to the party hour.)

Her guest list included: Mari, Jocelyn, Maggie, Mollie, Paige, Kinzie, Orrin and Bennett.  

She got so many thoughtful gifts from her friends - including a baby doll, pantsuit romper, Shopkins, a barbie and swing, necklace and bracelet set and playdough.  Her family gifts included clothes and clothes and more clothes from Grammy and Grampy and a boat bag filled with summer goodies.

 Bennett got his sister some bling for her bike, and Daddy and I pitched in for a new fancy helmet, and a coveted emoji pillow.  

Pretty much the best day ever.  Harper is super excited that she will be 6 for a long time, because she just has so much do play with before she turns seven.

The arrival of Grammy and Grampy warrants it's own post.  

So much love - there are no words.

Last day of Grade Three.

Last day of K.

We did it, kiddos.  We did it.

 Bring on the Summer of '16.

But first, a nap.

"Hey, Boo.  Think you can stack these 12 regular nails - on top of this nail, that I have secured in this plain block of wood?"

Yeah, Boo and I both knew this was probably a set up.  But, our favorite neighbor was up to the challenge.  She tried various ways of stacking, before saying "No, Bennett.  I can not stack these 10 nails.  But, I bet you are going to show me that you can."

Of course he can.

Stacks in the backs.

It's the final countdown.  We have two days of school left.  I keep asking myself where this year went - so many changes for the Prose Family.  

And, as predicted - the girl no longer cries every day waiting for the bus - just in time for summer vacation.

 While Harps was not a fan of attending baseball practices, she sure loves the games.  This is probably because the fast majority of the fields have playgrounds, and definitely because we have been hitting up the DQ on the way home...  

Often times, we bring M & O with us and they create quite the fan club for Number 8 of the Sartell Sabres Team Bonach.
