Here in our school district, the last day of school is just like any other day of the year It is a full day of school where the kids still go to their various classes. Este and Ethan both refused to go. If you asked them, they were quite ill. Este met some friends for lunch so Ethan and I headed out to Chick-fil-A. It was crowded but oh so nice to spend some one on one time with Ethan. Of course he refused any sort of picture and I decided it wasn't worth pushing the issue and making him upset so you just have to imagine Ethan and I bonding over my salad and his spicy chicken sandwich.
The last day of school marked AJ's last year in middle school. Yep, I now have a senior, junior, and a freshman in high school. I knew this day would come but, it just seemed like such a long way away years ago. Anyway, it is tradition in the middle school that the 8th graders make one last ceremonial walk through the school and the other grades cheer them on then the parents greet them at the door.
It was hard to find AJ in the mosh pit that formed outside of the door.
Melanie hoisted Jace up on her shoulders so AJ could see where we were. It worked. A few minutes later AJ appeared.
Keeton was quite happy to see AJ until I snapped the photo.
AJ, however, was all smiles to be moving on.
Savanah and Vanessa headed out to school on their bikes. They could have left school early in the day but they wanted to stay the entire day. Poor Savanah wasn't feeling well but she wanted to have one last day with her teacher.
My last day of school activity is the same as my first day of school activity.
There's just one major thing missing: a firepit. The hoards and hoards of spelling, math, and writing journals were recycled (boring & yuppy). I kept the important and interesting pieces of work but the rest of it will be part of the next recycled product coming your way.
