Last Day of school

Well we made it to the end of school. Now the long summer begins, Emma has already tearfully informed me that she wants to go back to school already. I think the structure school offers helps her feel secure in her comfort zone. She gets stressed out with the chaos of summer. My goal is to keep some semblance of structure this summer, have certain things that get done each day, set times for lunch and snacks etc.

Thursday was the long awaited "Little house on the Prairie Day" for Emma's class. She had been looking forward to it all year. I was going to make her a bonnet to wear, but decided just to go ahead and do the whole dress. It was fun and Emma was way excited to have the dress to wear that day.

The kids had a blast playing in the water Friday after school. I had been toying with the idea of taking them somewhere, but I think think they had more fun here in the neighhborhood. There is quite a "gaggle" of kids ages 3-10 on our street, when they are all out playing it becomes quite the place to be.

Here's a couple pictures of Sarah and Leah's music class, they love it and it is coming to end now for summertime as well. Leah just loves her teacher and sits in her lap to sing the song with her.
