OK, I'll admit it. I probably deserve one of the worst mom awards because it didn't even dawn on me until about 9 am when I was sitting at my desk at school during plan period and checking Facebook that I saw a zillion and a half people posting photos of kids "last day of school photos". Huh? Last day of school photos? OH yeah, let me remind you of our first day of school photos. The ones where Abby had a mosquito bite the size of her eyeball and it was nearly closed shut from the "kindergarten get to know you party" the day before where she had no bug repellent put on her because I wasn't there and was at school. Or the photo of Sophie who was annoyed because her hair didn't look quite so good so she pouted and didn't want to take a picture when I asked her to smile. Yeah, those first day of school photos. Ha... so that LAST day of school photo...yeah, it didn't even occur to me to take it at all. I guess I was too busy getting Watson to the dog kennel, two kids over to Grandma's house by 6:45 am, packing suitcases for our trip, or making last minute lunches. Thank goodness for Mrs. Kelly who took a few as well as friends and Grandma who took a few to capture our last day of school as it was quite a celebration!
Congrats to Abby. She was awarded for being a great at-home reader with her "book baggie" books. She also received an award for answering 4,500 IXL math questions this year. Mrs. Kelly's questions answered 20,000 questions, and dear Abby answered about one-fourth of them herself. What a math star.
Thanks to the Metzgers for their friendship, rides, and afterschool help. Thanks for the sleepovers and snacks and playdates that come along with being neighbors and friends.
