All Done!

So the school year is over and my peeps are happy, happy girls!!!!! Ella is thrilled that she NEVER has to eat school food (of you can call it that) again! She is also sad that she "will never see some of my best-est friends again!!!!!". It was a bit much for her to handle on Friday... being happy & sad, she wasn't sure what to make of it. Emily is thrilled for 1st grade to be over with as she was bored, bored, bored. She loved her teacher but she said that after Christmas she was ready for 2nd grade. I got a book from the library (for me), I forget the name, but it is an overview of things your child will learn in 2nd grade...she spotted it last night, took it to bed & by 6:45 this morning she had read 65 pages! She can't wait for 2nd grade to start!
Before it does, we have 8 weeks of summer fun: birthday parties, pool, library & movies... not to mention the promise of Grandma & Grandpa moving to Georgia & actually living with us for several weeks... I think it's going to be a great summer!!!!!
Here are a few pictures from the last day of school...
