No More School

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today was the last day of school.  Waking the boys up this morning was easy.  In fact, Evan was already up, though Evan is never difficult.  Noah was very excited when I got him up too.

We walked to school.  All the parents of the fifth graders were going in dressed nicely because the fifth grade graduation was this morning.  I'm not sure if Lizzy realized this would be her last walk to school for awhile.  I'm sure a bunch of kids are going to miss her over the summer.

Rachel ran some errands in the morning.  She went to the bank, Kohl's and Costco.

When she came home, we had lunch and then went over to school.  Evan's class was having an "Open  Mic - Poetry Reading".  All the kids had to read two of the poems they had worked on over the year. The teacher gave all the kids fake mustaches and berets.  Parents brought in various food and drinks to make it like a cafe.  We brought our Keurig in for coffee.  All  the boys made their readings as short as possible.  We were there until school ended.

Then we waited for Noah to get out of his class.  One of the girls in Noah's class was crying because she was going to miss the teacher.  Noah seemed upset and then he started to cry.  He said that he "was feeling sick".  But the moment we got home and he was doing other things the sickness magically went away.  I asked him later if he was sad to not have Ms. Wenske and tears came in his eyes and he turned away from me and told me to stop talking.  I think it's a good school year when a child is crying that school is over rather than being excited.

We promised the kids we'd take them to see Tomorrowland after school.  Noah's friend Owen and his mom joined us and we picked up Evan's friend Wade and saw it at the Alamo Drafthouse.  We had dinner while we were there.

When we came home, Christian and Connor came over.  They came with us on a little walk.

The boys are out in the backyard now.  They'll be going to bed soon.

Until next time...
