Blake wrapped up his elementary career. It went by so fast. The 5th graders had a special carnival day to celebrate their completion of elementary school. There was also a 5th grade promotion ceremony. It started at 8:30am and Blake lectured me before school on how I needed to get…
Crew went ahead and graduated from Kindergarten. There wasn’t a school-sponsored graduation, so some of the moms put together an after school graduation ceremony. This was the only year that Blake and Crew will be at the same school together. Kindergarten started later in the morning than the rest of…
Today was my baby’s last day of preschool. I didn’t cry, but I definitely felt the heavy weight of never having another preschooler. They performed a darling graduation program and Finn was hilariously animated during “Good Ship Lollipop.” Miss AnneMarie was the best teacher. Just like that, the end of…
Crew enjoyed water day on his last day of preschool. I stayed to volunteer and helped at the sand art and necklace making stations.

Thankfully, along with the chaos came a lot…
Blake went ahead and graduated from Kindergarten. He has learned so much since his first day last fall. He has even grown out of his dream of being an elf that builds toys. We attended a few of his end of the year programs. First were riveting drama performances of…
I don’t know how it’s possible that another school year has come and gone. I’m hyperventilating a little bit because the structure I want to bring to our summer days is far from in place. However, ready or not, school is ending. Blake only has two days left of Kindergarten…
