Today, the last of three children ended their primary school days. I have seen many of my friends with children the same age posting on Facebook today about how it seems this next step is much harder for us as parents than them.
Well, they were just cute little Kindergartners the other day weren't they?
But as melancholy as I may be about the 11-year old moving on to Middle School, I am so ready for him to be on summer break. We had to go an extra week this year due to the unusual amount of snow days we had this past winter. And it's a good thing too, because otherwise they wouldn't have been able to go bowling on Monday, have field day Tuesday, watch movies on Wednesday, and have a beach party and early dismissal today (insert sarcasm here...).
So bring on the days of summer camp, and long nights filled with fireflies and Ghosts in the Graveyard. Because summers full of childhood fun are just about behind this family. He hasn't been home 3 hours and already he is getting texts on his phone from girls...
Today's pic represents the end of the school year, as well as an era. The backpacks are hung up for a few months, unless they get filled with swimming gear or sleepover necessities!
