The final two days of school were half days* and Thursday was our first summer MOPS meet up! So, the twins and I dropped off the big kids,
went to play at the park with our friends. Somehow I only took one picture,
Then the three of us ate lunch en route back to pick up our favorite grade schoolers!
I brought up the teacher gifts for them to present, to take some of the crazy out of the last day of school. If I took one, I can't find the picture of the gifts. = 0 I made zipper pouches with embroidery of the kid's handwriting:
They sat in my gift pile for months, I can't believe I never snapped a picture! Emily also gave her teacher some seeds & planters, for her garden. William gave his teacher some of her favorite candy, and I've already forgotten the extra pieces for Alice's teacher. = /
That evening, Emily had a party to attend:
She had a fun time, and it was the first party that I'd ever dropped her off! It was weird to be doing errands alone, but I don't think she missed me much. = )
*****************
And finally, we made it to the finish line. On the last day we were in the car and buckled two minutes before our 8:17 target!
William kept dropping his bag of rings. Once he lined up he seemed content to hold on to them, at least until we saw him off at the door. = )
It was sad to say goodbye that last day, we had such an awesome set of teachers & friends this year.
When we came home, Emily wanted to make a piñata for her friend, since she'd never had one. The Texan in me did not buy chocolate to fill it**. = ) Emily put on almost all of the tissue cover by herself!
We were so happy to be finished with our rigorous school routine, with just a short week left until our camping trip!
later days
**turned out this was a good call, as we got well into the 90s that day. = )
