Here we are, and it’s the last day of school. Jeremy has finished kindergarten. Here he is with his teacher, Mrs. Pinder:
Tyra has finished second grade. Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Gustafson:
And Ethan has finished the third grade. Here he is with his teacher, Mrs. Quist:
So far, none of our kids have had the same teacher for any grade. I know that eventually that pattern will have to break because we have a lot of kids, but so far we have had to get to know all new teachers every year. Next year Jeremy will go to school all day like the other two. He is really looking forward to needing a lunchbox. 🙂
I must say though, that I am very glad that the school year is over. I’ve been finding it very hard to be motivated to get out of bed early enough to wake up all the kids and get them ready first thing in the morning. And I have really been disliking the homework fight that happens every day after school. I am really ready for this break. 🙂 Also, the end of the school year, means the end of babysitting extra kids, for me. I think most people I talk to, think I’m totally crazy to be looking forward to the summer vacation with all of my many kids being home all the time. But really they are all MY kids, and I won’t need to deal with someone else’s kids at all anymore. Looking forward to a happy summer, filled with spending time with my kids and getting ready to welcome number 7 to our family!
