Catie is a Kindergartener & Andrew is a Third Grader

We kicked off the first day of school with a book breakfast. The kiddos ate pancakes and raspberries and then we took photos and raced off to school. Catie got the most adorable back to school outfit from Boden for a project (giveaway) I was working on with them. Andrew's outfit didn't arrive in time, so he wore his another day.

Andrew ran off to find friends once we arrived at school and I went with Catie to the kinder yard.

She LOVES her new teacher and her new classroom. She also was so excited to see several friends from TK and church at school.

I went into the classroom with Catie for the first little bit and we followed a little checklist. Then I said goodbye, went home for an hour, and then went back and got her. It was a short day!

After school we played and then picked Andrew up at 12pm and headed off for lunch and a trip to Mrs. Fields and a park. After some park time the kids got some down time and then we ended the night with a family dinner to CPK. We had several grumpy kids at dinner, which was to be expected since we were all a bit overtired, so it was nice once every one went to bed!

Catie is sure that she got the best teacher ever and Andrew is excited about his teacher too!

We made it through the week without too many meltdowns so I would call that a success!

End of the School Year 2016

The last week of school was a little bit crazy, but a lot of fun.

Catie's class had a last day of school Luau and a Field day and Andrew's class had an end of the year party and Field Day. Since I was the room mom at Catie's school I ended up just helping at her school.

It is amazing how much Catie grew during the year this year. She learned a lot about being a good friend, communicating, listening, following directions, and reading! Catie is a great reader and we are giving all of the credit to Andrew because I didn't help her at all!

The last day TK luau was simple and a bit crazy. We tried decorating outside and the wind was so intense that everything kept getting blown down. Fortunately TK kids have low expectations. I also put together a book for Catie's teacher with cute little quotes from each child. It was a hit!

During one of the days at the end of school, Ryan and I (and Annabelle) went to Chick-Fil-A as our last "date" of the year. I loved my afternoons with this kid while Annabelle slept and the big kids were at school.

Andrew had a great year this year as well and loved his teacher!

After school we went home and I gave the kids some surprises to help kick off summer! I also had a big blow up pool in the backyard and we had fun playing in that and relaxing and also going to our neighborhood pool with some friends. It was a great last day of school!!
