Other stuff happened.
Nick went to Prom with his friend Megan (she asked him as she goes to a different high school)
Then Nick went to Spring Formal (Mormon Prom) with his friend Hannah.
Her dress was awesome. She said she looked like an upside down cupcake complete with sprinkles. I said she looks like a princess.
They had a small group and had dinner at our house. Nothing fancy, but I think they had fun. Two months later we still have the lights and table set up because the kids love it.
School ended.
Nick won the spirit award for both Choir and orchestra (as voted on by his classmates) Go figure. (have I mentioned this already? ) He loves his music classes and it shows.
Maddie promoted from jr high to high school. I have no pictures of this. And I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that I will have TWO kids in high school.
Zach graduated from Elementary school. I'm having an even harder time accepting that this kid will be in jr high next year. What the heck?
And Christopher ended his second grade year as well. No big promotions or graduations (thank goodness!) except his "graduation" from Apple Valley school. For two weeks he was known as "Theodore Harris" as they learned what it was like to attend school back in the days of the Pioneers/Little House on the Prairie.
And I got an email from his kindergarten teacher asking about him at the end of the year, so we stopped by his old school to see her and one of her aides.
People who spend any time with him just adore him. We stopped by his preschool class at the Spectrum art walk to say hi to his teacher, and she was all "I KNEW Christopher would come! I was waiting for him! I told my husband he would come!" I'm glad we did because she was leaving the school to teach somewhere else, and we got her contact info to keep in touch.
I'm always so conflicted about the end of the year. It's always so crazy busy I look forward to summer for the break, but at the same time I just want to put on the breaks and slow things down. We were blessed with many excellent teachers this year, and are sad we had to say goodbye to many of them.
But time marches on (Even as I write this, on July 8, not June-whatever-I-predate-this-to-be) I'm freaking out because there is only a month left until school starts. WHAT THE HECK?!?!?
