Happenings on the Last Day of School--June 5, 2008

I know this post is over a month late, but my philospophy is better late than never.

Molly gets hurt--In every girl's life there is an incident with high heels. Molly's just occured a few years earlier than most. She was running full speed with her plastic, princess sling backs (anyone who has a little girl from the ages of 2-5 has these) down the driveway and biffed it. Luckily, Meg was right there and brought her in to me screaming. She kept a tissue on her mouth for hours and would not let anyone look at it.

Sam's last day in Kindergarten--We've hit another bitter-sweet moment in our life. Sam will never be a Kindergartener again. I've said this so many times, but I can't believe how fast this year went. A few FAVORITE memories/things about Kindergarten for Sam were:

1) "Mrs. Banbury and Miss Mary teached me a lot and weren't ever mean."

2) "Doing art and music IN the classroom" (as opposed to Meg and Ben who had to go to different rooms for those activities).

3) "Going down the slide when it was wet, and I had to wear someone else's underware and shorts from the nurse's room."

4) "Learning to read in my mind with my lips only moving a little bit. Also knowing that 10x10 = 100."

Sam's self potrait. He is TOTALLY into making sure the correct eye and hair color (shade) is used when drawing portraits.

Sam's "treasures" from this past school year. Everything has "Sam O." because there were two Sams in his class. He actually now introduces himself to people by calling himself "Sam O."

Vicki goes a little (or a lot) blonde--I decided I wanted to test the theory of "blonds have more fun." So far it doesn't really seem like it, but I have liked the look and so does Rusty. Meg told me it would take her "a little while to get use to." Whatever!
