Jake asked several times to be picked up early- we always like to take them out early on the last day of school. When I picked him up (at the time we had agreed on) He was so sad and didn't want to leave. He said all his "girlfriends" were crying and hugging everyone- so their emotion rubbed off on him- making him wish he had stayed a little longer.
The entire Kindergarten class had a program that they practiced very hard for. Owen was singing SO LOUD in the shower the night before - but didn't have it in him to belt it out the morning of the performance. We stayed for a few hours and helped his teacher "Tear her classroom down!" That afternoon, Owen's friend came over and hung out for several hours- they had so much fun! Owen didn't have an emotional meltdown until the next morning, when he woke up very late (9:30) and came and cried in my lap that he really missed all his friends.
Presley didn't get to leave early- well 10 minutes early. She was such a troooper. She told me Ms. S would need the help because there would be so many other kids leaving early, so she would stay. It was very unemotional for her. Her thoughts are on bigger and better things. High School and Swimming-.
Anyway- Presley left 3 days after school got out to go to Galveston on a mission trip with some of the members of our church. I didn't get to talk to her at all and missed her terribly! Jake left Thursday June 11th to go to Omaha to play Baseball in the Little League World Series. GO MOJO !!! He got back Monday, then left yesterday to go to a football camp in Lubbock, Tx. From there Darcy will take him to Amarillo, Tx. to meet up with the youth from church and he will go on a Youth retreat in Colorado. I'm gonna miss my Bub! When he gets back we will have a small break before Presley leaves to go to "Fun in the Son" a High School youth conference in South Padre Island. When she gets home, we will have less than 2 weeks before we leave on our family vacation with Jeff, Darcy, and the Boys- Back to South Padre Island. (WAHOO!!! We are ALL very excited about this trip) After that, the countdown to the first day of school starts. I hope though very busy, the kids have a very fun summer!!
I have always taken pictures of the kids on their first and last day of school, (with their teachers in elementary school) to see the physical changes that they made that year. I am going to post Kindergarten pictures of each child and last day of this school year. Now- with that being said, Presley- we have to get to your school soon to take a "last day of school picture" - (I honestly couldn't embarrass my child by pulling up on the last day with a camera hanging out the window- Not in Jr. High. :o) )
