This post is a little late but Lucy graduated from Kindergarten on June 3rd. It was a sad day for Lucy and a sad day for Mom. When I woke her up she said, "I wish it was the first day instead of the last day of school". And I seconded that. I thought it was hard sending her off to school but to have her no longer be a kindergartner is much much worse. I don't know how much more of this growing up I can take. Adam, like the first day of school, took the day off to take her to school with Grey and me. I decided that we HAD to go to the Donut Shop for breakfast to celebrate the big day. They had a special BBQ lunch in her classroom and after school I threw a Girls Only Last Day of School Pool Party! The girls had so much fun swimming, eating, and hula hooping. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, thanks again to Jason for coming and grilling in case Adam (who was on call) got called in. We ate cookies, Ring Pops, Popsicles, and cupcakes. And the girls were sent home with fun goodie bags and a king sized Kit Kat. After a quick clean up (parties are so much better not inside) and we were home I started to cry-again. I cried saying goodbye to Mrs. Hansen who really is the BEST kindergarten teacher in the WHOLE world! It just feels like such a big milestone.
Lucy did so exceptionally well. She was friends with everyone, had her first little boyfriend Nathaniel (seriously they exchanged numbers and he brought her a donut, along with following her around the playground). She won the Citizenship Award along with many many others. She accomplished (along with mom and dad) her first Science Fair Project, read for 6 hour to receive a free ticket to Six Flags. Lucy was in the TAG or Talented and Gifted Program. And she also got into Dealy Elementary (awesome Montessori school that is super competitive) for next year. I think she is a success and I am bragging! Lucy you are so amazing, smart, and beautiful. I love you so much and am so so proud of you.
Tried to recreate first day of school pics, and Lucy eating her breakfast of donut holes and sausage rolls.

What I dealt with EVERY morning taking Lucy to school-Grey sitting down in the middle of the hall, and on the last day the kids got to choose where they sat (everyone wanted to sit at Lucy's table including one little boy yep you guessed it Nathaniel!)

No wonder all the kids and teachers fell in love with Grey.

She is such a big girl! I don't blame you for bragging, what a little smarty-pants she is. I hope you guys have a wonderful summer. Your after-school pool party sounds like so much fun, I'm so glad you are a mom that's not afraid of a little sugar :).
dangit, this is Janelle.
Isn't is to sad that our little girls are so grown up now? Madison just had her "graduation" today and I bawled the whole time! I'm a mess!
