End of School

This little boy is mighty proud of himself for graduating from kindergarten.  Look at that grin!  He was simply delicious in his kindie graduation program.

Here is the future Mrs. Caboose.  At least that's what he is thinking.  She is not so convinced.  Apparently she is saving herself for Justin Beiber, but the Caboose took hope when her mom told her that Beiber is too old for her.  (A couple weeks ago he was trying to decide whether to ask her to marry him now, or to wait a few more years.  I encouraged the waiting, but we'll see what he decides...)

Me and my little boy.  Love that kid!


After the program his class had a little party.  It doesn't seem like that long ago when Big Boy #1 was wearing his little cap for kindie graduation, and here he is getting so tall!
Here is the Caboose's kindergarten teacher Mrs. Brown.  She was the perfect balance of firm and friendly - exactly what this rambunctious little guy needed.
 

We have  an end of the school year tradition, in which we let the boys bring home their friends and have a little backyard celebration. Here is Big Boy #1 with some of his friends roasting hot dogs around the fire pit.

Big Boy #2 was enjoying the end of year traditions himself.  Here he is enjoying his last field day of elementary school with his best buddies.

The school did a little elementary school graduation for the fifth graders, complete with picnic in the park and a slide show for the parents.

This teacher is one of the best my kids have ever had.  Mrs. Barta is an exceptional teacher.  She's very deliberate in her teaching, making the most of every minute, stretching and tugging on the minds of her students.  Both Big Boy #1 and #2 have both had her, and I feel so very blessed she has been a force in the lives of my children. 

Enjoying the s'mores. 

The last day of elementary school landed on my 40th birthday, and also corresponded to a baseball game for BB#1.  Therefore the End of Year celebration for BB#2 wasn't until the next week.  But the boys didn't seem to mind.
Now... SUMMER!!!
