::last day of school::

May 31st was the last day of school!!!!

:]

Here's a little reminder of what they looked like on the first day of school...

And a couple of photos of Bubb and Ava on the first day just for fun (because they've changed a bit during the school year too :)  )

**Note to self:  get a photo of all the kids together on the first and last days of school**

They got out almost a whole week earlier this year that in years past, which was kind of awesome!  They only went a half a day, so Bubb, Ave, and I went and picked up the kids from school.  We took some potted flowers for the teachers...

This is Mrs. Coburn.  We LOVED her!  She was everything you would expect a kindergarten teacher to be.  She was so sweet and gentle, and happy and smiling all the time!  We just loved her so much.  Sadly, she's leaving Willard Elementary, and going to another school next year :(  We're glad Port got to be in her class.

Chloe had Mrs. Barker for 2nd grade.  We sure loved her!  I wasn't too sure at the beginning.  She was nice enough, just seemed kinda flakey.  But she turned out to be awesome!  She would tell me all the time how much she loves having Chloe in her class.  When I came to pick Chloe up, I gave her her little flowers and gave her a little hug and told her how much we've enjoyed her as a teacher this year, she got a little teary eyed when she was telling me how much she loved Chloe and how much she was going to miss her.  Aww!  What a doll!  We told her Chloe would visit next year.

It was kind of a long year.  It took a toll on our shoes and backpacks.

(Port had one pair of shoes that broke in half, and his Mario backpack's zipper did that split thing where it won't stay zipped.  And Chloe's shoes...well look at 'em!  And the Barbie hair fell off her backpack) 

:]

Pokemon cards were a big deal this year.  All the kids were into 'em.  They loved to trade them, look at them, make up games with them, count them...you name it.  They were getting a little out of hand at Chloe's school-so much so that Chloe's principal said that they couldn't bring them to school at all anymore!  Anyway, they were (and still are) fun.

So no more school 'til the end of August!!!  Woo-Hoo!!

Time for a happy dance!!!
