Last Day of School!

Summer ready or not here we come!
Last day of school! I am a sucker for these comparison pics. First vs last day of school!


One last time waiting for the bus! The boys like to go early to the stop to play with friends before the bus comes.
I do have to add though that the last month Logan begged to ride his bike to school everyday. So on the days I didn’t have to work, that’s what we did. He loved it when I was done with work and we could ride everyday!

After the last school we walked over to a friends house for a pool party!
Logan coming in for the sneak attack.



It was a perfect way to kick off summer!

Logan found a baby frog

 Carson also had a pool party with friends after school, but in the evening he invited his friends over to our house for a get together. We had about 13 teenagers come! My house isn’t big enough to hold/entertain that many! Time for a bigger house! (And no we are not moving)

I should also add my last day of school picture!
It started off as a really hard year, but ended nicely. Next year my partner Ashlee and I are moving up to the older twos. Excited to get a little older of an age group, who can actually talk and have conversations.

Celebration of Learning

You know school is winding down when there’s celebration of learning! Celebration of learning is where parents get to go to the school and see some of the work that their students have done throughout the year.  I love going to these and seeing all the hard work the boys have put in!

Logan's class theme was restaurant.  The kids showed us around the classroom and their artwork, and Mrs Callen read us a book (which made all us moms a little teary eyed),  

The kids showed us how they do desk drumming when they need to get some of their wiggles out.  So cute.
and then performed the school song!  I swear Logan was trying to hide from me on purpose...

We’re especially going to miss Logan’s teacher who has been absolutely amazing with him this year, and has truly loved him. As a parent that's the perfect teacher.  Plus everyone who we told that she was our teacher said that she is the best teacher in the whole school. We really were blessed




To end, the parents were asked to go into the hall and find their kids smile (names were only on the back)  We could pick Logans out right away with that little tooth of his!
 
A smile is: Ice cream, swimming, laughing, cake, birthday party, christmas, Easter
Mrs Callen also gave us this time capsule that they made on 2.22.22 to be opened their senior year in high school on 3.3.33 I already know I'm going to be a hot mess when I open this!  My baby will be graduating!


Tanner's turn!  He was a little nervous at the first of the school year about his teacher Mrs. Wade because he heard she was a yeller, but it ended up not being as bad as he thought and he actually had a really good year!
Team project of the nervous system!  (Other teams did other systems of the body) Tanner did all the writing on his project.

Then it was slide show time!
 


I can't believe another school year is winding down!  Some days it feels so slow and that summer will never get here (Usually January-March), but then bam! After spring break it just flies by! April and May keep us so busy and before you know it summer is just around the corner, and boy are we ready!

Girls weekend!

Our dear friend Brittany is due to have a baby!  So we did a little baby moon for her! We went to the most amazing French restaurant in Downtown Houston and then spent the night in a ritzy hotel!  It was such a fun get away.  Plus it was also right before mothers day so I counted it as my mother's day gift to myself
We stayed up till 5 in the morning just talking!! And we weren't even tired we forced ourselves to at least get some sleep.  Love these girls!  Love that I've found like minded women who can have very deep and controversial talks without anyone getting mad or offended.  It's awesome.
Then after we slept in and got brunch, we just laid by the pool for a few hours before the kids got home from school (it was a Th/Friday activity) It was amazing. It felt like a true vacation getaway and yet it was only a half hour drive home. I almost want to do this every mothers day...
