The 2012-2013 school year is officially over. I am proud of my kids. They all did very well this year, learned a lot, grew up a lot, and got great grades!
This morning, Cam announced that he and his friends were dressing up for the last day of school. I had visions of his friends saying that they were all dressing up, except for "forgetting" and then just one kid shows up wearing a shirt and tie. Cam wouldn't be as socially devastated by that as other kids I know!
Mallory and Madison make a big deal out of not dressing alike. I used to love to dress them alike when they were little....but since they turned about 5 they have been kind of against the idea. Madison waited until Mallory was dressed this morning, and then put on a matching shirt so that they "could spend the last day as twins." Mallory was not amused, but was too lazy to change her clothes!
Even Colin willingly paused and let me take his photo. This is a rare opportunity that I grabbed - last day puts him in a really good mood! :)
Quincy was absolutely squirmy because she was so excited about summer break. Daddy told her he would buy her a pool pass. She cannot wait to get herself into that pool. I didn't have the heart to tell her the pool doesn't open for another week! She does a good job at school, and gets a lot of compliments on her behavior there, but I can tell that the minute she gets home it is like she puts on her true crazy personality.....its like she lets out her breath after holding it all day. I am very proud of her for becoming an excellent reader this year. She has come so far in one school year!
Preston was true to his sensitive nature this morning, and might have been the only one who said he thought the last day is kind of sad. He also came a long way this year, and we are impressed with his progress. He is really excited about going to a new school next year....as the 3rd and 4th graders go to Scranton.
We hope that the days of walking will not be too many after school starts next year. We hope we are close to living in the country by then.
In the meantime, the sun is shining, and we are done with having a strict schedule. I am excited.....
and so are Saige and Harper.....who love having the kids all home!
Its gonna be a great summer!!
