School's Out for Summer!

So maybe I was a little hard on May, or maybe the bittersweet sentiment I feel about the last day of the school year is wearing me down. My 6th grader will put her 7 years of elementary school behind her and in August begin her years at Jr. High. My baby will be stepping into her kindergarten classroom to begin her own 7 year journey while my other two little middle ones will head in to conquer 2nd and 4th grade. Yay! Sob.


I know what your thinking, but this was actually taken last week as they [minus the little half dressed one] left for school on crazy dress day.

Tomorrow is our last baseball game and party. Every day it seems we are celebrating the last day of something and it's exhausting, but it is all over after tomorrow! This week has been so exciting for the kids and they have been coming home tired and cranky and when they make a lot of noise and stop getting along [I know not really that unusual], I start to wonder how this could be what I have been wishing for all month [insert my nervous laughter here]. I'm just going to blame it on the rain and the fact that we have been inside way too much for this time of year. Then I will say a little prayer and hope for the best for the next 11 weeks! Wow, it's only 11 weeks? Hello Summer, bring it on girlfriend!
