Almost out of School!!

Monday is just about the last day of school! We have 5 gazillion plans for the summer. Last summer we didn’t play outside as much but we sat around inside and read or played on the computer. This summer will be different. I resolve to play tag, hide and go seek, capture the flag, kickball and anything else that is outside. We are going to do the Independence Day Parade, the Summer Reading Program, and all the cool stuff that they have at the library (including the Albany Idol Competition) I are going to pick berries, ride bikes, swim in the pool and read The King of the Trees. I think we are ready for the summer. But I’m a little sad about the ending of the school year. It always gets so familiar and the books are so good and everything… and then summer comes.

Mom’s kitchen is looking awesome. We all can’t wait until it’s done! They put the Quartz Countertops on yesterday and like Dad said, they will bring most of the appliances today!! I think Mom LOoooooooooooooooooooooves her kitchen.

Oh, one more thing. To our family and friends who read this blog (besides Mom and Dad and Christian) on behalf of Christian, Hannah, Hailey, and Jacob, Kaktus Kids would like to offer you an oppurtunity to get our magazine!! (we are very desperate! Please send us some mag material!) Do all of you read it?

The rest of the appliances arrive today

The new counter tops look great.  One of them was cut wrong so we will have to get a new one sometime next week, but they are absolutely beautiful.  We are so happy that we went with quartz instead of granite.  Today, all the rest of the appliances are supposed to arrive.  That includes the refrigerator, the oven, the microwave, the warmer, the dishwasher, and the all important stove hood.  The electrician is supposed to be there on Monday and the plumber is scheduled for Tuesday.  The kitchen could be complete before next weekend if the replacement counter top arrives on time.

Christian and I installed the new Ubuntu Linux Dapper Drake on our homeschool computer last night.  It is really amazing.  All that things that were a struggle before just loaded up and ran this time.  That includes all the DVD stuff, Flash for the Firefox browser, email, networking, etc.  The one disappointment is that the version of Skype we have on Linux does not work as well as the one on windows, but that is a minor thing.  I forgot to try printing with our printer, but I have never had any problems with that on previous version, so I doubt if it will be much of a problem on this one.
