School's out for summer, school's out and they're happy!
Today was the last official day that Sebastian had to be in school.
He had 1 last final exam first thing this morning, and so he went, took his test, and they released him by 8:30am, said he was done, so he came home.
He was totally stoked, still is.
Then Mark had to go up to the school to pick up his cap, gown, and his 5 tickets for the graduation, and Sebastian remembered that he still had 1 last book to turn in, so they both walked up to the school to take care of those things.
When they got back, they were so happy, "It's over!" they yelled as they came through the door, and they've been just kicking back all day since.
Tonight we decided to watch the last 2 Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
I swear, we've watched every trailer for it at least a dozen times each.
We've seen all of the Harry Potter movies in the theater since the very 1st one.
This year and this Harry Potter movie, may be the 1st time that we won't be seeing it in the theater.
I was going to say that it would depend on how I'm feeling after the surgery, but I realized that surgery is June 29th, and I may still be in the hospital on July 15th.
I know that sounds like a long time to be in, but with my 1st surgery, I was in for 18 days, the 2nd for 9 and a half, and this one all depends on how things go, if there are any complications and stuff.
So I'm hoping that the movie will still be in theaters for at least like 5-6 months after it comes out so that we can keep up with our tradition of seeing these movies in the theater together.

I was also really hoping to be able to send the teens to Maine for the summer or part of the summer, to visit with my family and work at Funtown like we had been talking about, but it's simply not in the cards this year.
But my sister is still hoping to go up for a quick weekend or a full week, in August I think she said, and so she's starting to get all of that stuff ready again.
She needs to find a good deal on the tickets for her and the girls, make sure her car seats are ok for whichever airline she decides to go with, and get some travel health insurance for her and the girls, some car insurance through her credit card for the rental car if she decides to get one, and make plans to try and fit in all of the friends and relatives who want to spend time with her and the girls every time they go up.
She still doesn't know which airline she's going to fly with.
Ever since Allegiant Air no longer flies in and out of the airports closest to where our parents live, finding really cheap seats is a challenge.
We used to fly out of the Orlando airport, and land in the Portsmouth New Hampshire airport, but now the closest airport is in Bangor Maine, which is actually in state, but it's like a 5-6 hour drive to my folks house, whereas the Portsmouth airport was less than an hour away, less than 45 minutes depending on who's driving. *wink*
I really wish I could send the teens up, but it's just not going to happen this year because of my surgery, lack of money and time, and some other stuff.
But I am going to try like hell to get them up there next year.
I'm aiming for February or spring school vacation time, or summer if that's all we can do.
