Thursday was the LAST day of school. We're so ready/not ready for summer. I like the school year and the structure it gives their day -- the friends they get to play with -- the lame projects they have to do -- but I'm also ready for the girls to be home (to do chores and help me with Chloe) so we can spend more time together. This week was especially strange as it started out in the triple digits and then on the last day of school it rained for 6 hours straight and was about 50 degrees... it was unlike any other school year end. The girls loved their new school this year and are looking forward to returning next year. Hayley will be in JUNIOR HIGH (gasps all around) which means she'll have lots of teachers and dances with boys (the latter being the most important). She has made really great friends this year and we're hoping they will all return next year (well, I'm hoping some of them won't return actually). She will get to stay in the school she attended this last year as they go up to the 8th grade.
Maya will be in 5th grade next year. She had a terrific year (straight A's) and had the greatest teacher, Mr. Hancock. It was her first male teacher, but it turned out to be her favorite teacher. She's looking forward to 5th grade, mostly to see if she can get better grades than Hayley did, but also to have 2 teachers rather than just one.
The summer will be filled with camps (volleyball, basketball) and the girls will get to participate in a musical theatre. I'm hoping that they stay busy enough and that they don't drive me crazy. Hayley asked today when auntie Em will be coming up, since she's come up the past 2 summers to help me with my girls. (So Ems, get your butt up here to help me with me girls!)
Chloe will be in -0 grade next year. Once my girls are in HIGHSCHOOL she will start kindergarten. That's right, kindergarten. I keep telling myself to cherish this time with her because it is fleeting... and this will be my last baby (knock on wood).
