This year, it went off with a bang. 4 hours of tutoring prepping students for their final exams, a pediatrician's visit for a random ear infection for Evan (thanks - rec center pool), a vet appointment for Bailey to get her yearly vaccines, a work baby shower that I helped plan and execute, hair cuts for all the boys, and graduation. Phew! I'm glad it's over.
The boys ended their year at Tutor Time on Wednesday of last week. Scott and I still had work Thursday and Friday, but the boys were lucky to have those days with Nana and Grandma. I quickly grabbed this shot before pediatrician and vet appointments after school/work.
I love the side-by-side comparison photos! I can't believe it will be time for Evan to start these next year in preschool and for Sean to be at an elementary school in the Young 5's program! I'm trying to hold back the tears.
The baby shower on Tuesday after work was a hit! 15 ladies gathered at Chili's (per the mama-to-be's request) for chips, salsa, drinks, cake, and gifts! It was so fun getting to hang out outside of work! Sometimes I feel like I never see anyone outside of my classroom.
It's bittersweet though, as we celebrated Mallory's impending birth, we also said our farewells. She'll be taking time off indefinitely to stay home with her baby girl.
Thursday finally rolled around and Sean's graduation from Pre-K was that evening. I picked up the boys early from home, took them for haircuts and to Costco for an ice cream treat before meeting the rest of the family at his school. Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, and Pops joined us for the graduation and dinner out at TGI Friday's down the road. It was an absolutely beautiful program that his teacher put together! A few songs, mock awards, and a small reception afterwards, she outdid herself.
He was so excited to be a part of this! Definitely nervous too, as he'd put his hand or fingers in his mouth (a nervous habit) from time-to-time. But, he sang. He smiled. He was elated as he won his mock award for the "Lego Engineer Award". How fitting.
We'll definitely miss his teacher, Ms. Kathryn and his buddies. This was the most comfortable we've ever seen him in a class with friends. Evan will return in the fall in the preschool classroom so I'm sure Sean will visit every so often at pick-up or drop-off. But, it's time for Sean to move on. Hard to believe!
And with that, summer vacation started! And so did the crappy weather and storms. Seriously, I think we're set on rain for a long time. We try and find small gaps in the rain weather to get outside for some summer fun.
Although the past two days, it's been more like this for outdoor entertainment.
Happy summer vacation!! We made it!
