Multi Packs

Today is FINALLY our official last day of school.  Last week was pretty light, but we finished up everything, leaving this week free except for Writing Camp.  I still have to log the girls in every day though, since we are officially still in school.  When I logged in this morning, I received an invitation to L's Kindergarten "graduation" on line.  The invitation had a cute little poem on it about all the things they learned in Kindergarten, and how she would "see you next year for First Grade fun."

I got nauseated and teary, and had to talk myself down from a full blown panic attack.  Truly.  First Grade...my baby is going into First Grade!

That's not what upset me so much though, it was the reminder that I won't have J with me next year.  This year has been really rough.  J and I have had a LOT of arguments about how school should or should not be done.  She has driven me crazy with her Math issues.  And yet...this will be something new for both of us, this going off to school thing, and it scares me a little bit.  It will finally force me to let her go, this child that I prayed to have as my own so many years ago.  Are you allowed to be teary eyed when you take your 4th Grader to school on the first day?

But, that's not what this post is about...

We have a busy day ahead of us.  The girls are finishing up the books they are writing in Writing Camp, then we are dashing off to Mingo for our last Homeschool Outdoor Classroom.  After that, I have a few things to return at Sam's Club, and a list of new things we need.

Still not what this post is about...

We have all been hooked on this video lately, a multi-pack of musicians sharing a guitar:

Not quite what this post is about...

See what we got in the mail yesterday from Amazon?  A rainbow of playground balls!

Four Square anyone?
