School's Out for Summer!!

Last week was a very long and busy week!! Boy, am I glad it is over! Thursday was the kids' last day of school. I always take a picture of the kids on the first day of school and the last day.

Here they are on the first day of school last August:

And here they are last Thursday on the last day:

On Monday of last week, James' class, along with a couple other 2nd grade classes had an idiom presentation. Each child had an idiom to dress up/act out/explain. James had "a piece of cake". He wore his baseball uniform and took a small cake from Annamarye's kitchen... since baseball is a piece of cake for him. It was really cute. I'll try and post some more pictures later. It was bittersweet to see some of the kids we have known since kindergarten - they have really grown and matured.

It rained all last weekend and has been cloudy this weekend! The pool opened yesterday, but since it was so cloudy we didn't go. We rented Night at the Museum to watch before we go see the new one. Since we didn't go to the pool, James and Annamarye decided to make use of their towels anyway. And James wanted to try out his new goggles.
