Craziness

We have FOUR days of school left until summer break. I am so excited. I am seriously going to make a summer bucket list. The kids are at such a FUN age. This may be the best summer yet :)

To recap this week...

MONDAY:



Monday was our cougar fun run. My friend and coworker Courtney and I pulled it off and it was great. The kids ran about 1.4 miles and got to stop at stations for snack, drink or hand stamping.



Our station was hand stamping. The back of their shirts said, "you deserve a paw on the back." Each Encore teacher left our print on the kids :)

TUESDAY:

Tuesday was our PBIS field trip to the Liberty Theater in Murphysboro. It was so neat. We got to bring our own DVD and played it for the good kids. It was really fun!!

WEDNESDAY:

Wednesday was our school talent show. The boys PE teacher and I hosted it and it was a blast.




The talent was amazing. So neat to see the kids talents that I normally don't get to see. Most of the talent I see is athletic :)

THURSDAY:

Thursday was Awards Day. We handed out athletic and academic awards. We definitely had a ton to hand out, but it was great :)

FRIDAY:

Friday was 8th grade graduation. To say our graduation is a circus would be a complete understatement. The kids were fantastic. So well behaved and polite. The parents and friends crack me up. I guess I just don't get all the hype...it's 8th grade, not high school :) ha ha. But it was fun to watch.

For the weekend...no plans. And I am quite thankful since the back windshield in my car completely shattered last night. It was brutal.

I guess the kids and I will spend all day by the pool

Happy Weekend to all

Kindergarten...

I can not believe that in THREE months...

THIS girl...

will be in Kindergarten.

It kind of takes my breathe away. 

Today was officially her last day of Pre-School.  It was adorable.  She LOVED Pre-School, and I am certain she will feel the same about Kindergarten.  I snapped a few pictures this morning before she left.  And a few tears formed in my eyes.  NO WAY can she be this old right???

Tyler was so cute hugging her all morning.  He was so excited for her.  So crazy that HE will be in Pre-School next year!!! I think that will REALLY make me hyperventilate!!! Now in 9 days we can start our summer! The final summer before ACTUAL school starts for both of my babies!!!

I need to make a SERIOUS summer bucket list.  What would you put on your summer bucket list??
Leave me some ideas so that we can start a crazy summer adventure!

Goodbye Summer

I can not believe I have to work tomorrow. I can't believe that some people actually work in the summer...every year. I would die. Summers and me are BFF!! This summer has been crazy. We have officially been kitchen-less all. Summer. Long. Miserable. But the end results have been fabulous so far. Hopefully it will all be done within the next few weeks!!

So here's to a happy and healthy school year for my students. We are really pushing exercise and health on their own time this year. Lord knows we can't do it ALL for them! I hope they respond :)

And have I mentioned how much I am going to miss my kiddos...and our old Nanny, Becky?? She came over and swam with us today and it just reminded me of how much my kiddos LOVE her and miss her so much!! But we are thrilled for her new endeavors!!!! The kiddos are at such a fun age right now. I adjust thankful that I can pop home during lunch when i really need a fix!! I pop in for some cuddle and smooch time. Love working 5 minutes from home.

So much to do. It will be so strange not being home for all of the last minute details on the house. Guess I will have to trust hubby to get it done...and FAST!!!
