Last Day of School. Yippeee?? or Boo Hoo??

I am so glad school is over but then I worry about how I'll survive all summer. The last month was a killer this year keeping everyone motivated and getting them up and out the door. They only went to school for 1 1/2 hours and just visited, got goodie bags from their teachers, signed little yearbooks, exchanged numbers, got their grades and then left. The last day is always fun as they all come pouring out of the school screaming and shouting, some kids were doing cartwheels and front flips, the buses are all lined up and just keep honking their horns forever. Kids are hanging out of the windows screaming and waving to everyone. The teachers all line up outside the front to wave goodbye and everyone is taking pictures. It's kind of a fun atmosphere and you realize that the school year is finally over and reflect on the past year. Its fun to see how they've grown, how much they've learned and what an impact their teachers have made on them. We'll really miss this year's teachers as the kids have loved them so much. I hope next year will be as good. So, look out summer, here we come!

Here are the first and last day pictures of all the kids:

TYLER

Tyler & Mr. Crandall (pretty much the BEST 5th grade teacher EVER!)

LAUREN

Lauren & Mrs. Grover...who had just been attacked with silly string.

McKENNA

McKenna and Mrs. Headman. She loved her and will miss her so much.
(Sorry, I don't know why it came out so blurry.)

These three are the best little friends. They are so cute together and love each other so much. It is so fun to have them all be friends and even nicer that all of us moms are friends too. We took first and last day pictures of them too.
