After many, many years of blogging, I am going to start using my kids' names--no more Favorite Boy and Best Girl!

On the next-to-last day of school, I attended the awards assembly at the kids' school.  For the most part, only upper grade students can earn awards.  We missed the assembly last year because we skipped the last two days for Disney World (Disney is the reason my kids never get perfect attendance), so Andrew was excited to receive his certificate for all-A's during the assembly rather than picking it up in the office during summer break.

My Favorite Boy and His Fourth Grade Teacher

That night, Emily played in her last regular season softball game.  Afterwards, Coach Jeremy handed out the regular season trophies.



The last day of school is a fun day.  We go in for breakfast/parties and then leave with report cards.  In Emily's class, the students also put on some readers' theatre performances, and Emily won an award for being one of four students who had read the most books in the class for the year. 



Andrew enjoyed goofing off with his buddies before summer break.  He had such a great group of boys in his class this year!


Before leaving, we stopped to say good-bye to Dr. Morris.  Since I am still the PTA president, we will see him many times during the summer, but it won't be the same as being at school every day.


My neighbor took this picture of the neighborhood kids before they boarded the bus.  We are SO blessed to have two amazing families right next to us!


Coming Up...More May Fun!
