School's out!

After Memorial Day weekend, I was so itchy for school to get out.  But we had another week and a half to go!  The kids finally finished on Thursday.  I was so excited.  My kids were not.  Brandon asked if he could go to summer school.  Whitney was so sad to say goodbye to her classmates and teachers.  Are they crazy???  I mean, I'm thrilled that they each had a fabulous year at school, but come on.

It's summer!!!! 

I'm ready to play. 

They both had great teachers this year.

Mrs. Fossett and Whit

Brandon with Ms. Richardson

And they had some really fun end-of-year celebrations

involving rubber chickens

and water balloons!

Brandon displayed this amazing talent

to turn his body concave to prevent balloon poppage.

To ease their mourning, I put together a little

end-of-year celebration of my own.

Put up posters.  Inside.

And out.

Shoved little treats and prizes into balloons.

And hid them around the house.

Then waited for the bus.

Does that look like the face of a boy 

who wants to go to summer school?

I think not.

They had fun popping their balloons..

Caroline somehow slept through the whole thing.

It was a fun start to what I hope will be a great summer.  Friday was our first day of being home all together.  I forgot how much refereeing I have to do between B and W.  Hopefully we'll get into our groove of being around each other all day and can have some fun.  I'm SO ready.
