Well, it’s official. School is out and Tyler successfully completed the 5th grade. We attended the 5th Grade Recognition Ceremony this morning. The kids sang two songs, the principal spoke, the teachers handed out “Candy” awards and then they were each presented with their Certificates of Completion and Report Cards. Tyler had prepared me ahead of time for the songs, telling me they were meant to make the moms cry. I did my best, but my eyes did get a bit watery. Tyler’s candy award was Rolos, because he rolls with the punches. His cousin, Ashleigh, received gummy worms for being a great reader (book worm). There were lots of different awards. Tyler said he was surprised by his, but really liked the Rolos.
This means both boys will be at the Middle School next year; Blake as an 8th grader and Tyler as a 6th grader.
Wow! Where has the time gone? I remember when I was much younger, my grandmother would tell me to slow down and not be in such a hurry to grow up. She told me time would start moving faster the older I got. And she was soooooo right!
I’m looking forward to this summer. We haven’t loaded the calendar quite as full as in summers past. I’m looking forward to a slower paced summer. I’m sure the boys will find ways to fill it with swimming, friends and other activities… but I see plenty of family time and play time in our future.
Happy Summer Break!
Congratulations to all the Graduates!!!
