Last Day Of....

SCHOOL!  We have been counting down to this day for 180 wake-ups.  The teachers in our district went on a three week strike back in September.  To make up for the lost class time, we missed out on our full winter, mid-winter and spring breaks.  And you really don't realize how much you need those breaks until you don't get them.  Don't get to sleep in.  Don't get to just stand around and drink coffee watching the "Today" show.  Don't have to struggle to get breakfast eaten, teeth brushed, clothes on, out the door and not be, attendance sheet forbid, tardy.  Yes, we're ready for school to be over this year.  It's been a good one.  A lot of work.  A lot of homework struggles, but also a lot of learning and growth and development.  So, to my little love bundle I would like to say congratulations on a 2nd Grade well done!  We LOVE you!!  You are one truly amazing kid and you make us grateful everyday that we are your parents....Now get in the car and let's head for the sand.  It's summer!!!
