School Stuff

The school year is over and it is time to PLAY! 

The kids had another great year, and I am so happy with their hard work and determination to do good. I am especially happy with their desire to read.  I was never a big reader (not novels, anyway, mostly Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley Twins -- yeah, I was a real brainiac!). But my children just LOVE a good book, especially fantasy novels, and that makes me thrilled! I really believe reading makes all the difference. They walked away with straight A's and Daniel was awarded the "Nerds Award" for his class. I've always wanted a nerd for a son. :-)  This next year is going to be Sammi's last year in elementary school. She is now officially a 6th grader! And then . . . Junior High. YIKES! William will also join the school-crew, he starts kindergarten in the Fall! WOW! 

Here are some images from the school year . . . 

(Sammi has a bunch, her teacher took a lot during the year)

First Day of School -- 5th Grade

Sammi working hard

Halloween

 Edible Cell Project

 Painting a fish . . . nasty?? 

Sammi loves the stage

Lucky boy! 

Friends

 Sammi had a fun year of basketball. There was one game she made 4 baskets! (That's a lot for 5th grade b-ball.) She just kept stealing the ball from the other team -- it was awesome. She was ON FIRE! Can't wait til next year! 

First Day of School -- 3rd grade

Here is my nerd award boy . . . Go DAN! 

Daniel also loves the stage

Now it is time to PARTY! 

(And read, of course.) 

 I love having my kids home for the Summer. 
They are mine, ALL MINE!! 


(I might share them with Grandma, too . . . if she is lucky.) :-)
