Sorry I disappeared for the last 48 hours...I was determined to finish ALL my school for the summer yesterday...and I did it! I worked on school for about 10 hours...but it was worth it :) Summer has arrived!

Last night we (my siblings and I) slept on the trampoline. It was...interesting to say the least.

Lilly and Jeremiah kicked off the night by jumping from the trampoline into the "pool"...

(Not quite sure what he was doing there...)

When it got dark I brought my laptop outside...we watched a TV show on Hulu. Yep, it was really rough "camping".

Sarge - our lab - slept underneath the trampoline...it was so sweet!

We laid back and gazed at the stars. All of a sudden, we saw a streak in the sky - a shooting star! It was my first one, that I can remember at least. It took me a moment to realize what it was...and I missed my chance to make a wish ;)

Once we actually got to sleep...that's a whole 'nother story. I was in the middle and we were on a trampoline...needless to say I was very squished. MeMe was RIGHT next me and my brother was almost on top of me. Ahem. 

Anyway, it was a fun night...but I'm not sleeping on the trampoline with three other people again! :)

How did you spend your Friday night (not squished between siblings on a trampoline, I hope!)?

On a side note, if you haven't already entered in my giveaway, please do so! It's still open for another week (6/5).

Yesterday we got a pool...well, not a real pool, but a little baby pool for the little girls to play in. MeMe and Lilly were so excited about this latest purchase that they set it up right when we got home (with the help of Jeremiah). 

There's something so fun about splashing in a pool, even if it's just a small one. 

If I get everything done, I'm out of school tomorrow!!!!!!!! I'm so excited :) Summer here I come!

Also, stay tuned for my first giveaway later today! (Hey, that rhymed.)

Man. It was pretty crazy today...between classes, studying for exams, doing homework, it was exhausting. I took a minute and tried to focus on simplicity. Ha. 

There's still time to link up to Happiness Is (below this post)! There are no link ups yet...isn't the second time you do a blog hop supposed to be more successful than the first? ;)

Oh, and how do you like my new header?
