I showered and ate, then went to pick up my kids at school.&nbsp; Aliya's 1st Grade teacher is moving to Oklahoma, so she was very sad!&nbsp; I took Asha and Aliya to a cool party with a HUGE slip n slide.&nbsp; I am glad, it was at least 95 degrees out!&nbsp; Shanti and David went to our friend Barbara's house after school - another slip and slide!&nbsp; We all&nbsp;ended up there and stayed until about 8.&nbsp; Very thankful for our wonderful teachers, good friends, and&nbsp;water games.&nbsp; Yippeee! &nbsp;It's summer!!</p>Wed, 3 Jun 2009 14:57:33 GMT
