I have a third grader and a
kindergartner! That is so crazy to think about. But before he became a third grader, I want to show you Buddy's last day of second grade.
Wake up bright and early, with the sun. See the messy bed head? We let him go to school like that on purpose today. You'll see why in a moment.

Last bus ride of second grade. Waving at the bus stop can be so fun. And for those of you who think otherwise, need to take a look at
this blog here. So much fun.

For their last day of school, Buddy's teacher treated her class to a pool party and then a trip to the park and then a pizza party and tons of recess time. What a fantastic last day of school!


Buddy has had his teacher for two years now. Mrs. Young is totally awesome and we loved how great she was with him. She told me today that if she could, she would keep him another year. I asked her if I could take a class picture. She agreed. As we were walking from the pool through the park, we stopped by the bamboo 'forest' and got a picture. I told her that I needed the kids to do something for me. I thought of this only this morning. I printed up the letters right before I had to be at the pool and I even ran out of ink doing it! Mrs. Young actually got teary eyed when I showed this to her. I think it's adorable.

Then it was off to feed the ducks. The kids probably threw two loaves of bread and a bag of buns to those ducks/geese/swans/seagulls. Little did those birds know that TWO more classes were doing the same thing later that day. Poor birds.

Buddy was the one doing most of the feeding. Why? Because he loves to think about food.

Today was not only Buddy's last day of second grade, it was his last day at the school. Due to a school closing, Buddy and Sunshine will be going to a different school next year. I am sad at this because I've really gotten to like the staff and teachers there. But we are up for new adventures and are excited for a new school year.

But first, we get to have a wonderful summer!
