Could somebody tell me where this past school year went?
I mean one minute I was planning my
Back to School Coffee and the next minute I am cheering her as she strides into summer and then the second grade.
We started celebrating last night.
After school there will be a dance party in the living room, with an ice cream social to follow.
And pizza for dinner.
Hugs will abound.
And we will tell her how proud we are of her.
Over.
And over.
And over, again.
I am a happy mess as we check first grade off the list today.
Pass the kleenex, please.
Did I mention that we're proud of her?

Did I really just drive through town honking my horn with the windows open shouting, "SUUUUMMMMMMEEEERRRR"? Oh yes I did. And it felt great.
Congratulations to your sweet girl on wrapping up first grade! I have a son who is finishing his last day of preschool today, ready to start Kindergarten in the fall! I know that this is off topic, but I'm trying to spread the word about a quilt raffle to raise money for Joplin, MO. If you know anyone who might be interested, please have them check out Dana's beautiful quilt at oldredbarnco.blogspot.com. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am with you - where did the year go? And I could get completely emotional if I allow myself. I can still see E & F as little babies propped in the boppy next to each other.
