Fun Day

It was perfect to be "home" at the end of the school year.

Being able to attend all the celebratory 

end of the year shenanigans 

is right up my alley.

Abigail and I were thrilled 

to attend Kacey's Fun Day at school.

Kacey truly was the best potato sack racer ever.

The over-under relay did not disappoint with intense competition.

Face-to-Face balloon relay.

Try not to get wet with the Pass Over the Head Water Challenge.

This is Abi asking "What do you mean, I can't participate?!"

  

Kacey is such a great big sister.

She is one sweet girl.

She is athletic and loves competition.

School Lunch With Kacey

Kacey started kindergarten this year.

I took advantage of my time in Florida 

by having lunch with her at school.

Abi was excited to have lunch with her big sister too.

We needed a "selfie".

Snaggle Tooth.

 Miss Priss.

Following our "Happy Meal" lunch...

I checked her out of school.

I grabbed Eli & Dani too. 

I was having beach withdrawals

so we loaded up the van and headed east.

Oh how I love these kiddos.

How Can It Be?

It doesn't seem possible that this school year 

has come to an end.

This is Eli on his first day of school.

It was my job to get a good first day of school picture.

I will do better next year.

The picture above is from his last week of kindergarten.

He is older and smarter. 

Eli won a variety of awards this year.

Each grade period resulted in 

AR Award, A-Honor Roll, and others.

He is so smart.

All he really wanted was the PE Award.

The coach could only present it to one boy per class.

I asked him what was required to receive such a prestigious award and he said,

"you have to listen to the coach and do what he says."

Such stress in kindergarten!

Finally!

On the final grade period,

his name was called.

Yeah Elijah!!

I'm headed to Florida this weekend.

I can't wait to congratulate him in person.

I can't wait to hug him.

It's party time!
