Last week(s) of school

Summer is here!  Wahoo!  A little bittersweet to see the school year end!  We will sure miss kindergarten and Ms. Tori, it was a pretty special year!

The pool is finally warm enough, even for mom (the boys have been swimming daily since we moved in).  Unfortunately we have started a backyard remodel so we haven't been in the pool for almost 2 weeks, needless to say the boys are going a little stir crazy.


The second to last week of school we had our kindergarten picnic dinner at the park.  It was the same park we had our first kinder play date before school started where we met other families and the teachers.  It was also the same park where we had our end of the year party after Scott's first year in TEAM, he's growing way too fast!

After dinner Ms. Tori had little gifts for all the kids, in order to had them out she played a little guessing game.  For share at school the kids give three clues and their classmates have to guess what they brought, so this is how Ms. Tori did her share about each student.  It was so cute!  For Scott she said:  he is the first person to help a friend who is sad or hurt, he is a good athlete and the final clue for everyone is what they had said they wanted to be when they grew up and their salary: be in the navy and make a million dollars a day.  LOL!

I could not have asked for a better teacher for Scott this year.  So so happy Owen will have her in a year!

The next day our class planned a "field trip" to our classmates house for swimming! BEST IDEA EVER!  We didn't have to show up til 10 and we swam and played all day.  The boys and I ended up staying til around 5 or 6 I think!

When Ms. Tori had to leave all the friends gave her the sweetest big group hug! 

Monday of the last week of school was our class beach field trip where we got to learn about ocean safety from a lifeguard and play in the waves!

Oh yeah and its also when we started our backyard demo:

The last week also included the school bridging ceremony.  Each class walks across the bride to next grade level.  It was very sweet and Ms. Tori gave a pretty tear jerking speech.


Owen was not so thrilled about the evening.  Thankfully Kindergarten was first so we were out of there pretty quick!

Second to last day of school.  Owen was on a playdate so the almost first grader and I had an ice cream date.  He asked for a cone....I had no idea it was going to be this big.  I guess when you finish kindergarten you deserve a giant serving of ice cream.

Last day of school!!!!
It was sprinkler day! 
We have made some great new friends this year. 
These two kept asking to take their picture together.  Love their friendship!


After school we went to emily again for a pool party with our little tribe.

These kids have been friends since they were 3 and now they are officially first graders!

And the picture below might be my favorite ever.  Owen snuck in, with that smiles that just gets me overtime.  And Zoey on the far right made sure to stand next to Lincoln.....and check out that pose. I just can't! 



Owen and Kenz - the day before they played all day so that I could work in Scott's class one last time.   All day they said to each other: "we are bethd fwends right?"


They are just the best together!



And these three, there was a time in preschool we thought they would never work as a threesome.  There were many tears shed on their part as well as us mamas, and look at them now! Buddies for life!


These women.  What would I do without them?  Can't believe how fast our babies our growing up but I'm so happy to be on the journey with all of these mamas (and those not pictured!)

Once again our pool party last all evening, I went upstairs to find all our kiddos watching kung fu panda.  Aren't they just the cutest!

If the last few weeks of school are any indication, I think we are in a for a great summer!
