Last day of school!

June 13, 2014/Family

Another school year is over. It feels like it’s been 9 months and on the other hand, it’s unbelievable my kids are another year closer to college. Agggh!

The first day of school!!

Our neighbor Suzette has an end-of-year tradition where she pelts her children with water balloons as they come off the bus on the last day of school. She invited several of us to join her two years ago. It was a pretty easy decision!  This is our third year teaming up to drench the kids. We meet early to fill the balloons.

Even Ryan was in on it.

Piper made a friend in Suzette’s dad who is visiting this weekend.

(I love how Natalie is crimping the hose in this picture – we added 2 hoses this year which changed the game a bit.)

After an epic water battle, we all gathered up the balloon debris then settled into eating popsicles. And now summer…

    Love it!!! Giggled at Bat boy, same shirt on the last day as the first. Tomorrow is the annual homeschool book sale. I do not homeschool but I do get books the kids can work on during the summer. The girls were gifted work books last week and they have been “Playing school” for days. they went to the libary and picked out books with the help of a teacher (Savvy’s 1st grade teacher, she was happy to show off for her teacher) then they got to see a really neat magic show. In two weeks it will be a bat show, I love how they are keeping their minds busy this year.
