School's out, teacher let the monkey out

Not much to report today. DS1 had his last day of school. I use the term "school" rather loosely in reference to this week. They had outdoor game day, board game day, luau day, and water play day. Today, they had a fathers' day brunch and then a completion ceremony where each kid got a diploma. Then it was only 10:15 and the rest of the morning (it was a minimum day, so they were getting out at noon) was to play and to have a picnic lunch. In 100 degree weather. We signed DS1 out early and came home so DH could head off to work.

I spent about an hour trying to get the CD-ROM/DVD yearbook to work. The DVD player just spits it back out. I gave up for a while and then finally found that it has to be read ONLY in Win XP (not 98 or 2000), and ONLY in Windows Media Player 11 (not 9 or 10). Ah. Good thing we have so many partitions and auxiliary (read: ancient, but still used for memory) in our PC.

We have about 3 weeks before they might or might not get places in the summer camp at ds2's school (which now goes preschool through about 3rd grade), then swimming lessons a couple of weeks after that starts. Otherwise, we're hanging out and going to karate classes. Since the weather's already scorching, I'd like to head out to the mountains or the coast one weekend sooner instead of later. I wonder if they still have openings in the next session of swimming lessons. At the very least, we need to spend a lot of time in the wading pool.
