...and a big {little} second-grader...
{she will always be little!}
How is this even possible? This school year just zoomed by!
But we couldn't be more proud of both of them!
They both received all A's and Emily was third in her class for passing the most AR exams...she loves to read and sometimes read three chapter books at a time!
Awesome work!
Alex had a great last day celebrating with a junk food party and water balloon fight! He said his favorite thing this school year was PE! ha! Emily enjoyed her teacher Mrs. Olson {Alex's first-grade teacher}! They both had great teachers this year...and Emily will also have the same second-grade teacher that Alex had! I'm so excited!
The last day of school is always bittersweet...I'm a little sad that they grow up so fast in a year...but we're ready to start the summer and get ready for vacation!
But I think I'm officially going to keep this one at home...
It's too late for Alex and Emily...but I'm not letting little Ellie grow up and go off to school...Nope...
She's staying right here with me...so I can dress her up with her big bows and hug her tight! {...sigh...} However...I have a strong feeling she's going to get her independence before I'm ready and find her own unique style {like Emily!} and march right off to school anyway! Shoot!
Happy Summer! We've officially welcomed it with open arms!
We've ended today with a loss for the White Sox...but Alex and Emily played great...
{safe!}
{Emily on first...Alex on second}
...and I think they were just happy that they can officially stay up late and sleep in! Yippee!
{especially the sleeping in...we can only hope!}
They do grow up fast. The twins are heading to Kindergarten and it's time I won't lie to you, they need the stimulation and we all need some time away from each other. Sasha asks everyday when she can go.
ReplyDeleteYou are a month ahead of us. Last day of school here is last week of June. We go back in September.
Have a wonderful summer.
Ah, super sweet pictures! My kids go until next Wednesday. I started telling my 3rd son this week that he has to repeat kindergarten next year because I am not letting him grow up. He thinks it's the funniest thing. It's our little joke. But, I really cannot believe how fast this year has gone!
ReplyDeleteI seriously cannot get enough of Emily's outfits...and poses!!! She is so stinkin' cute! I mean, they are all adorable and it is crazy how quickly the little ones seem to grow. Happy summer!
ReplyDeleteI know you guys are going to have a great summer. I love that picture of you and Ellie (how's the nickname coming?). I can't believe how much they've grown since I started reading your blog. Enjoy this time.
ReplyDeleteThis year did seem to fly by! I can't believe I will have a 1st and 2nd grader next year! I'm with you on keep Eli home and not letting him grow up:) Ellie is too cute, and I'm loving the nickname!
