S-U-M-M-E-R!!!!
Tomorrow is L's LAST day of Kindergarten and we are SOOO ready for it to be over!
It's a bitter sweet time of the year.
We are so proud that another year has passed and of all that L has learned and achieved but it also means we have to say "good bye" to Mrs. O and Mrs. Y, who have welcomed us in such a warm and comforting way into the school life that it'll be hard to let go.
AND it means we now have a 1st Grader in the house.
OMG, how in the world did that happen?
The little Bire-Bighter-girl is going to go into First Grade ... the REAL school life is knocking on our door and I am happy but also a bit sad at the same time.
I sometimes wish I could stop the clock and just keep them little and so close to me for a little while longer but there is no turning back now, no holding back ... it's time to let go and move on ;(
A few more weeks and #3 was supposed to make it's entrance into this world.
Even though we have made it through that sad time I am still finding myself looking at the calendar and wondering how life would be if there would have been the beating of a little heart on that fateful day in January.
Especially when I see the Ls just racing so fast through life and the baby items in the garage getting further and further pushed into the donation area ...
Pat has spoiled me like crazy with the Tucson vacation, the new and AWESOME computer, a new camera and so much more.
I am so lucky to have such a caring and thoughtful husband who tries and does everything to make my sad look turn into a bright smile.
And it's worked, for the most part ...
Until the little one turned 4 and now starts pronouncing all the cute words like "misdappear" (disappear) and "rostachios" (pistachios) correctly and the big one has now has to sit down so I can do her hair, she can open childproof bottle caps and bring out the garbage.
BUT back to the good things in life ... it has been a wonderful year for L!
She learned so much!
She writes, she reads, she LOVES mathy-pooh and it's all easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy for her.
She folds the paper like a burrito or a taco, she sits on her granola-gabolas and she can zip it quite nicely in class now ... just to familiarize yourself with some of todays Kindergarten slang-terms :)
Of course we had to prep a little something for all the wonderful people who touched us in this first year and helped us move along.
So here is HOW TO SAY THANK YOU in a BIG WAY by a LITTLE PERSON ;)
We made those ...
Designed by L, na-course
I was hired as "Manuel"
Et-voila, handmade bookmarks for Mrs. O and Mrs. Y
Inspiration and instructions were found here ...
SouleMama is the essence of being a mother and a family.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this blog!
And here is the whole shenanigans at a glance ...
A new room sign for Mrs. O's room ...
Ls creation :)
A home made Year Book for Mrs. O and Mrs. Y
The bookmarks nicely wrapped ;)
And L made / wrote cards for the teachers as well.
We finally found a use for the glue sting hearts we had made for Valentines Day ;)
This one is for our friend the Crossing Guard.
Without him we'd be mush on the street in front of the school for sure.
I swear NOBODY stops for us, unless he blows the whistle.
So he does deserve a BIG "Thank You" from us!!!
And a card for the Secretaries that put ice on the booboos and let Lulu use their restroom if she HAS TO GO RIGHT NOW :)
And L made some info cards for a few buddies from class, to keep in touch with over the summer.
All will be presented tomorrow morning and then at 12:05 PST ...
SCHOOL IS OUTTTTTT!!!!!!
... and summer / fun here we come!
