I would have liked to have it taller so you could see more, but 12 inches is as wide as I could have it printed and still fit it in the book. so that spans the bottom slots in the book. I did a collage for the rest of the mt. si pics. our weekly log, I printed full size on printer paper so it would fit on the back of the collage. and then I have a strip of instagrams. I only had 10 to fill in, so I just filled in the inner most column and sliced off the rest of the sheet. don’t worry, I saved it. week 24: this week I had 2 columns worth of instagrams, and cut off the rest. I also printed our weekly log half as wide, with half on each side of the paper. then I put it in a regular 8.5x11 page protector, sliced off the extra, and bound it off by folding a strip of cardstock in half over the end and securing it to the page protector with ...

sunday: dave and I got to go to the mariners game with my parents (they were playing the giants… I know, shocking!). monday: in the evening, there was the 5th and 6th grade music performance at the school. the glee and marimba clubs also performed… this was shane’s last glee club concert for the year. he’s the one in red, hanging off the end on the top riser. tuesday: 6th grade graduation. these are all of the 6th grade graduates – the class of 2018! thursday: my end of the year MC board gifts that I was getting all ready for the party on friday night. friday: last day of school! finally. the kids with their teachers. also friday: the MOMS club end of year party was here this year. we had a good turnout and a very fun time, as always! saturday: I sent layla and micah to get their jammies on and this is how they went… layla is the ‘horse’ a lot these days. and… the instagrams: book shots:

sunday: just one of those awesome things parents do… also sunday: I’m including these in a separate page. my parents came over for dinner, shane built a fire in our fire pit and we sat around singing songs in the evening. awesome. monday: we finally figured out how to make the sprinklers work. layla and micah were having a blast running through them. also monday: these will go on the back side of the page w/ the fire pit pictures. kids having fun with bubbles. tuesday: shane’s friend came over after school. they all played a lot of games. watching them play hungry hungry hippos was hilarious. wednesday: I drove/chaperoned for a field trip to the family fun center. this is shane and friends after getting totally soaked on the bumper boats. I’m sure that ride is refreshing on a hot day, but it was like 60* out… thursday: this is the sort of thing I find stuck to my computer all the time. shane likes to do comparison research on various vehicles… this time it was trucks. friday: sc...
