Last Days of School

The end of the school year for both kids was full of parties and celebrations and was so much fun.

Ty's last day of school was a Luau and the kids had a great Hawaiian theme party.

Ty and Ryland had just the BEST year together this year.

We are a little heartbroken that they are not planned to be together next year.

They have the sweetest friendship but I know the teachers are trying the best they can to challenge and grow each child to the best of their ability before they head for Kindergarten the next year.

We sure will miss spending every, single day with RyRy.

These two teachers, Ms. Vicki and Ms. Mitzi, are the BEST.

I love them so and definitely will pray they keep teaching together until Dylan is in the 3's so they can have all our kids. They are our most favorite thing about school at Compass and I definitely had a tear or two on the last day.

I forgot to take a picture of Ty before school that day, so this is the best 1st Day/ Last Day comparison I could get.

Mom Fail.

We had a sonic treat day after school with friends for the last day!

Kinley's field day was the last week of school and for the 2nd year in a row, it down poured.

Poor girl has no idea what a full field day outside is like.

Maybe in 2nd grade.

They at least were able to do one event, the most important event, outside before the rain - Tug of War!

And Kinley's class won first place.

So, I consider the whole day a success.

They had to buddy up for the day and Kinley and Jaymes were buddies.

They tried to just have a lightning delay before cancelling everything outside and we all went into the class and the watched the kids read books out loud for a little.

Ty was in heaven totally loving getting to be in the classroom a little and feeling like such a big elementary school kid.

The moved Field Day to the cafeteria for about another hour for 1st grade and did a couple games and her day was over.

There was a 1st grade ceremony where they sang a few songs and then each child was introduced by the Principal and told why they were successful in 1st grade.

There was a 1st grade picnic and yearbook signing time after the ceremony which brought back so many memories of my friends signing my yearbooks over the years.

  

Kinley's last day of school pics and comparison. 

I actually remembered to do this for her and tried to have her wear the same outfit as the first day but, she's grown so much that the skirt is way too short and not school appropriate anymore.

And they had a combined first grade end of year swim party at the NRH Centre of which was a little terrifying because there were so many kids in one space.

I only took one pic of Kinley and Brycelynn in these huge masks.

We finished the last day with our first summer sleepover.

Jaymes stayed the night and it was SO much fun! 
I look forward to lots of playdates this summer with these mermaids.
