Besides having two kids graduating the last week of May it was also the last week of school for the little kids, the last week of regular season baseball, Matt was working graveyard, and we had family on town. To say it was a busy week would be an understatement. Before the week got too crazy Grandma and Grandpa took us all to a movie.
We started out the week watching Chase perform magic at the talent show in front of the entire school. I was nervous for him, but the show was pretty magical.
We had two baseball games this week. It was nice that the grandparents were able to be there to see Chase have his best game of the season, and even won the game ball!
I did my best to make it to most of the end of year parties, but there were a lot! Chase had his first dance, which I thought as third graders was way to young. I was right. I'm not sure 6th graders were really into it either. Chase did bust a move on the dance floor for a few minutes.
I spent one entire day at the school for fun in the sun day. I was in charge of the bounce house/cupcake station all day. The kids had a blast bouncing for the short time alloted before they were shuffled to the next fun station.
The kids love the cupcake decorating station. It makes me want to gag. Every 10 minutes a new class comes in to slather and top a cupcake with the wildest colors and a bazillion toppings and scarf it down. I had about 30 seconds between each class to clean up before the next group. They all share the same supplies...ew.
Lunch was served outside this day so I did make it outside for a few minutes to eat lunch with this cutie and one of her friends.
Besides being fun in the sun day it was also Grandpa's birthday. Matt took his parents to a baseball game while we were at school, and we gave him a little gift wishing him a "Grill-y" good birthday.
After spending the day cleaning up cupcakes I had no desire to see another cupcake(still don't), sorry Grandpa. We were going to be having cake the next day for the graduation so I didn't want to overload us on sweets. He had mentioned growing up his favorite was the hostess cupcakes...so I bought a box of hostess and we lit a candle and sang.
The day between graduations was the last day of school for Chase and Sadi. They were headed out for the last bus ride with a little something for the best bus driver ever and a gift for their teacher.
Normally I like to put a lot of thought into our teacher's gifts and personalize them but with it being such a busy week we kept it simple with a s'more package.
Sadi said goodbye to the best first grade teacher, Miss Pluta.
And Chase said goodbye to third grade teacher Ms. Yentzen.
Whew! It was quite a week, and we are really glad summer is finally here!
