School's Out For Summer....

Friday was the girl's last day at their elementary school. Next year they are going to a charter school. I really didn't think much of it, until both of them came to the car with big tears running down their faces. They had just said good-bye to their friends and were so sad! I guess I just didn't think it would be so hard on them. I felt so bad. They are still going to the new school, though.

Porter had a better last day of school. His pre-school does Circus Days for the last day of school and they encourage the kids to dress up. At this point I've had two other children do circus days, and if I added up how many I have done of these, Porter's would be the sixth time I've attended. So, the morning of the party, I was scrambling around trying to come up with a costume. Hali, the last of them to go, had been wearing dance costumes for a tight rope walker. And I really didn't think that Scott would be happy to see his son dressed in an old dance costume. I remembered that one year, Regan had gone as a clown, but I wasn't sure whether we still had the costume. So I dug through the basement and found the main part of the costume, but the hat and the neck ruffle were long gone. We could live without the ruffle, but he needed something on his head. I rummaged through all my craft supplies and found enough to make him, I must say, a really cute clown hat!

Zoey was so not going to be left out of the fun of dress up, so we just put her in a princess dress and a crown and she was good.

It was a really cute party and a great way to end the school year. It even cheered the girls up!
