End of School Festivities

Before school begins again this fall, I thought I should post these pics from the last day of school in June.  Better late than never I guess.  The crazy thing is that this seems like yesterday!  Now summer is coming to an end and the next school year is upon us.  Will had a great year at Shepherd's Flock 1/2 day Kindergarten last year!  He is MORE than ready for the challenge of full day kindergarten!

Nana was able to see his end of the year program with Brett and I.  We were both in tears watching him up on the big stage.

Kate had a great year in 2nd grade.  We had a couple of "Sassy Frass" bumps in the road at the beginning of the year as Kate was attempting to show her independence in the classroom.  But we worked through them and she is getting better as expressing her thoughts without the little bit of attitude coming through along with it :)   Don't get me wrong, I love her strong, determined personality.  But sometimes it needs to be put in check.  Oh the joys of parenthood!

Will loved riding his bike down to the bus stop to meet Kate at the end of each day.  And he is MORE than excited to actually get to join her for the ride this year!



Our family really hopes we continue to have Ms. Patty as our bus driver.  She is so kind and caring to all the kids.  I always know she has her protective eye on them at all times.

Some of the other moms from Will's class and I decided to organize a day of games for the kids on their last day in June.  We had a balloon toss.....

and Mummy races just to name a few.

Will and Bryn worked very nice together to get through the entire roll of toilet paper. 

So Sweet!!!

We took some final pics of Will in his classroom before leaving for the day.  I know you can't tell, but he had tears in his eyes when I took this pic of him.  He was sad to say goodbye to all his friends and classroom.

He loved every minute of his day in Mrs. Basler's class!

And thankfully,  Mrs. Basler offered to tutor Will this whole summer to help him keep his skills up and ready for the school year in the fall.  Will has loved working with her 1 on 1 this summer and has done a nice job advancing his reading and writing skills. 


One last pic to capture the last day.
