First Day / Last Day

My sister asked if the kiddos were out of school yet and I realized that I had not yet posted their last day of school photos.


Here they are...

 Mimi's darling bus driver let Yoda on the bus the last day of school.  She rode bus #86, so Yoda often asks to see this picture by yelling "86!"

The fun thing is that back in 2009, Parker rode the same bus with the same driver and she let Mimi sit for a minute too. 

 There are lots of reasons that I don't home school, and here's a couple of them, both Mimi's and Parker's teachers were so great this year.  I loved working with them.  I didn't get a picture of Parker's extra-help-teacher, but he'll have her again next year.  Also super.  I could never do the amazing job that they do.

  If you're wondering what's on Parker's face, he met up with the rough bark of a tree while playing with Nerf swords with friends.  I've been putting scare gel on it to keep it from scaring, and he's mad.  He'd like to have a scare, he hasn't told me why though. 

 I made a very low-tech surprise for them to find when they got home. 

 "Welcome to Summer"

 Water balloons

 It took them a minute to catch on, but they finally got it.

 We invited the next door neighbors and they had lots of fun.
