We Survived The Last Week of School!

Everyone is thrilled that school is officially out for the summer especially after the exhausting last week of school! Everyday was filled with ceremonies, parties, and goodbyes!

Monday started early with Honors Day for Tuttle. He had worked so hard all year to receive the Flying Eagle Award for all A's. This is not an easy feat when two of your main classes are taught 100% in German, including projects and tests. He also received the Perfect Attendance Award for this semester and the Six Flags Reading Award for reading six hours. While I was beaming with pride for these awards, the biggest surprise came when Tuttle was awarded the Citizenship Award for his class. Typically one boy and one girl are recognized for this honor. We could not be more blessed to have Tuttle in our lives.

Tuttle has loved his teachers this year. Ms. Stokley, his homeroom teacher, holds an extra special place in his heart. He is always writing letters to bring to her at school. He is going to miss her so much next year. 

Tuesday was filled with an ice cream party for Tuttle and a pretend birthday party for Maggie. Jacob was such a trooper to attend both events and skip his morning nap.

Since Maggie and Lily's birthdays are in July, their teachers suggested celebrating the last week of school. Maggie would not want to share this special day with anyone else but her bestie!

Maggie is so near turning five years old that she decided that she needs to cross her legs like a grown up in the car! :)

Wednesday was Maggie's last day of preschool, so everyone celebrated with a graduation ceremony and a party in the classroom. Maggie won the award for "Sassy Diva." I do not think they could have picked a more fitting title. She may start out shy, but her true personality quickly comes out and is unforgettable!

Maggie has grown so much this year at OPP. She is 100% ready for kindergarten. Her teachers, Ms. Orla and Ms. Lisa, have been some of my favorites!

I am going to completely ignore the fact that Maggie and Lily will not be together anymore. 

After dropping Tuttle off for his last day of school on Thursday, we started Maggie's summer the right way with doughnuts for breakfast!

We eagerly picked up Tuttle at the end of the day and joined friends at the Frosty Caboose for ice cream! Jacob enjoyed his first ice cream cone!

Tuttle is bound for second grade now, but first let's enjoy a summer packed with FUN!
