Last Day of School

The long awaited last day of school finally arrived. Personally, I think that school after Memorial Day is just cruel, but the truth is I have been over this school year since March. The children don't get home until 4pm and they go to bed at 7pm which gives me only 3 short hours with them each day. That is just not enough!

So here they are looking as adorable as ever! Brian was home today for the send off and told them they would never again be 2nd and 1st graders so enjoy it. I had to blink away the tears.



Off to the bus they go!

Here is Ethan on the first day and on the last day. His shoes sure took a beating this year, if those are even the same shoes. I can't tell or remember when/if he got new ones! HA
Olivia has clearly had some big changes from the first day to the last. She has switched her pose from right to left, wore her hair down (only the second time this year), and bravely wore flip flop even though they have been forbidden and she hasn't dared wear them all year.
The wild bunch on the first day.....
and on the last!
Adios 2nd and 1st grade!

Awwww! Wow, they both look so different in those pictures. Don't cry. Love miss Olivia's hair down. Do it like that more often! Congrats Ethan and Olivia for finishing another year!

I love that you take pictures on the first and last day and then put them together. How fun to see the difference. It looks like they have grown a little too :). Also, I love your family pictures on the top of your blog. What a beautiful family!
