last days

Surrounding the last days of school before summer was a whirlwind of activity. There were so many things to do between the three elementary boys that I was at their school almost everyday for 2 weeks. It was super fun and this year for some reason went by really fast for me.

We were blessed with amazing teachers. All different but all perfect for the individual boy. Nick's was fun and outgoing but firm and able to keep Nick on track. She was able to keep his goofy and fun side while cultivating his side that was becoming a more mature young man. Andrew's teacher was sweet and caring and made Andrew realize that if he does his best work he will more often than not be done the first time. Luke's teacher seemed to go with the flow with Luke. I don't know if it was because Luke is getting more focused at school or if his teacher let the small things slide but Luke loved going to school. I think he had a bit of a crush on his teacher which probably helped a little.

Some of the fun activities we were able to attend were Nick's wax museum and the end of school carnival.

Nick chose to be Titus. He chose Titus because he was a very important emporer in ancient Rome. He helped finish the colluseum and he helped with the people of Pompeii after the volcano erupted.He was around in a bad time. There were two natural disasters during his rule. One of them was the fire of Rome and the second was the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

The end of school carnival was a blast. There were bounce houses, treats, a dunking booth, face painting, tattoos, and a slew of other activities.

Here is Luke and his teacher, Mrs. Hale. Sad that the other teachers weren't there.



Here are Luke and Liam getting their airbrush tatoos. They felt pretty darn awesome.

The boys had a great school year and I am excited to see what the upcoming year brings. Nick goes into Junior High which excites me and scares me at the same time. All of my kids will be going to school every day. It is crazy. I am glad though that their time away from home is with teachers who care about them and they are with good friends. It is really all that I could ask for.
