sChOol's oUt fOr sUmmEr!

I wondered how this year would end. Last year JJ was crying and Emma was confused. I don't remember ever crying. I was thrilled for this day. It was a right of passage. It was the reward for working so hard. Never once, not even my senior year did I cry that school was over. So I am a bit confused by my children and their lack of enthusiasm.

I had to go to the closing ceremony to see if this year my kids could hold it together. Who can blame them for crying, this means that Mom will make them her slave. Hahahahahaha(that was an evil chuckle)

I get there and they are already lined up. I go find each of my kids and spirits seem to be up.

They have a closing ceremony and lower the flag. Someone sings the National Anthem. Then they sing the Eagle Bay song. During all of this it starts to rain. Not a cloud over head but there is rain. Then I go and find my kids and sure enough as I am searching I see kids crying all around me. I was sure I would find the same thing with my kids. I am glad to report I was wrong. JJ was all smiles. Emma was a bit sad, but no tears. Finally my kids are happy to get to spend more time with me. That is why they are happy! Right?

I was worried at this point because Ms Tia started to break down. I thought this would send Emma over the edge but she held strong.

We are looking forward to the sun, playing, swimming, hiking, riding bikes, free time, and just enjoying every minute. Here's to summer!
