End of school

It is always sad to say goodbye to another great year at the school. My girls have had nothing but wonderful experiences at school, and I hope every year is as happy as the last. Their teachers were perfect for them, and Lilly in particular was sad to say goodbye. Both girls did really well this year in school, and improved in almost all subjects.. Unfortunately for Lilly, she takes after her Mom. She struggled in Math, but toward the end of the year she had improved quite a bit more, but is going to need some extra help. It breaks my heart because she takes it so hard that she isn't the "best" at something, so in some aspects it is a good lesson for her to learn. We will get a handle on it, so hopefully next year will be better.

End of year activities are always so much fun! I think I was at the school every day that last week helping with something. I love volunteering at the school & being involved with whats going on. I was offered a job to work in the front office, and decided a few weeks ago that it would be really fun, so I said yes! I am really looking forward to it! When I took the job, everyone was SO sweet and wanted to welcome me to the "family". I was so worried about getting depressed with my girls being in school, and me being home alone all day...so this is going to be great. I will only work 2 1/2 days a week, and it is the same hours of the girls. Wish me luck!

Lilly won this award for reading the most Beehive Books in the class. I was so proud of her!!

Lilly's class had a book report day, and it was so cute. I went in a few days before and helped the kids put their boards together, so it was fun to see it all set up. Lilly chose to do her report on one of The Never Girls books that she loves. Sometimes I am reminded of how little she still is, and it warms my heart. I love her more than anything!

Claire had something every day the last month of school. They went through the alphabet, so each day had a different theme. This day was something about wearing a funny outfit...and this is what she chose. I love this girl!

Field day is the best!! The kids love the games, and the PTA goes all out with snow cones, music, games & they have the fire dept come and spray all the kids with the hose. It was Claire's first time participating in Field Day, and she had a blast. One of the other moms said to me that she wanted to cry it was so fun...that made me laugh. But it is true, I love how the school tries to make the best experiences for the kids. It is a great school!

Afterward we had to do our traditional snow cone run after school!
