endings

Okay, so tomorrow is the last day of school. I am so excited to be done packing lunches, checking homework, signing agendas, and the routine. The boys are of course excited for SUMMER-- days of swimming, playing with friends, our traditional "fun jar", and family vacation. The end of the school year also marks a little thing called moving to the next grade. In August when school resumes, Paul and I will be parents of a 6th grader (YIKES) and a first grader. The boys are ready to assume their roles-- I however am a little reluctant. Well, it is only May so I don't need to think about that now-- I do need to make chore cards, fill the fun jar, and make the most of my days home with them. After all, I love those dudes and I have the privilege of being home with them. (I might need reminded in about a month that it IS a privilege to be home with them) So, bring on the summer and let the adventure begin!!
