Emily had field day at her school a couple weeks ago. Bert was able to switch his mornings so that he went to field day for the morning and then worked Friday morning, when he is normally off. It worked out perfectly. Their theme this year was "Boot Camp," so all the games had that kind of a feel to them. Bert helped out with the "Tire Flip Relay" and pretty much had to stay there the whole morning as all the K, 1st and 2nd grade classes came through. There was an obstacle course relay just beside the tire relay so he was able to snap a picture of Emily doing that one. She had FUN! Her favorite event was the slip-n-slide.
We were both able to go to Emily's awards program for her Kindergarten class. The room was filled with parents and it was fun to chat with some who we have seen off and on all year and all be there together to celebrate our kids.
We are so proud of our girl!
She requested a silly picture.:)
She's had such a great year in Ms. Powell's class! When her tooth came out the other day she told the dental hygienist that "I can't wait to tell Ms. Powell and Mrs. Merritt....they are going to be SO excited!" Ms. Powell and Mrs. Merritt have loved and taught these kids well this year and we are thankful for all they have invested in Emily and her classmates.
Finally the last day of school had arrived! Emily was excited and sad....totally understandable. She wanted to wear a "dress from her closet" for her last day of school. We were running a smidge late that morning so we really didn't have time to get the perfect picture (one with her eyes open). Also, her last day of school sign leaves a little to be desired, but she looked adorable and as her Daddy drove off with her for her last day of school I couldn't help but think about how fast this year went by.
That evening when Bert got home it was time to celebrate! We started off by letting them play in the sprinkler, which they looooved!!
This little love muffin was locked on watching them run around and scream.
We told the kids that we were going to go out for dessert to celebrate the end of school and Emily asked if she could pick. Before we could answer she said she wanted to go to Hardee's and get an Apple Turnover. Side Story: The other day Grangy said she wanted to go out to lunch with us somewhere after church next Sunday and told Hannah she could pick the restaurant. Hannah picked Hardee's. What in the world is wrong with our children?! Why do they like Hardee's so much? We go there about once or twice a year for breakfast. Anyway, Bert told her that we weren't going to Hardee's but that we would give her options....Dillards (a local ice cream shop) and Sno Hut. She picked Sno Hut and her sisters were so excited about their snow cones.
Emily and Hannah ended the night with a "spend the night party" in Hannah's bed. Bert called me in to look at them after he had checked on them when we were going to bed. I thought they looked so sweet and their profiles looked so much alike I had to get my camera.
She'll be moving on to 1st grade sooner than I'd like, but before that we're going to enjoy a great summer!!
