Joy School

Liam finished up Joy School and is ready for Kindergarten.  I always get a little sad at the end of the school year, but especially so at the conclusion of this year's Joy School.  Next year will be the first time in 8 years that I won't have a child in a Joy School group.  Joy School has become part of my weekly routine and I'll miss the structure it give our schedule.  I'll also miss getting to see my friends on a regular basis!  We mommies have enjoyed many a chat out front at the conclusion of a Joy School day.  I think I'm also sad that my kids are growing up so fast.  I'll now have more kids in school than at home with me.  It's a strange transition.  I'm sure it will be a good change for us.  So, for now, farewell Joy School.

Liam can write his name, and follow directions.

Me and my boy.  I sure love him and am so proud of his achievements this year.

We had a potluck lunch party at the graduation.  It was a nice way to end the year.  I however was 40 minutes late to the party because Seth lost my keys right before we had to leave.  I ended up having to call a friend who had to leave the party to come get me.  Another friend was then kind enough to loan me her car so I could pick my kids up from school.  I was frazzled and grumpy at the mishap, but in the end, it all worked out.
