Jamie's Last Day of School...

I now have a 2nd grader, folks.

Let me say that again.

I now have a 2nd grader.

Okay, let's nevermind that I even have a KID (or two), but he's like in 2nd grade now. 2nd grade. Holy mackerel. Friday (5/30) was his last day of being a 1st grader.

Cassie spent the night with a friend on Thursday and as he was going to bed he got a little upset and started crying. It was really endearing because he had been doing nothing but talking about Summer and no more school and no more homework and water slides and pools and... did I mention no more homework? I think on Thursday night he finally realized that it meant he wouldn't see everyone everyday anymore. He was pretty broken up and when I told him we could call anyone he wanted to come play, he got more upset and crying harder and told me it wouldn't be the same. I tried to NOT feel like chopped liver cuz I'm sitting here with a whole list of ideas to keep them busy and entertained for the next THREE MONTHS. Anyway, so eventually he calmed down (through apparently no help of my own cuz I suck like that).

They had a party on the last day of school and Tom made these frog cupcakes for the class, which were apparently a hit.


Cute, huh?

In the meantime, Tom is enjoying not getting up in the morning because he can sleep through a missile detonating next to his ear. I'm still getting up early, which is good. I seem to do well if I can get my butt up and going earlier, but I so hate mornings. I'm a much better night owl. BUT the reality is that I own a business and need to keep some semblance of business hours.

I don't have to like it though.

Anyway, so I have a 2nd grader... and I have a almost-kinder one too. Wow. Both in school. I'm excited for Cassie, she's going to LOVE it, but a little sad too.

Posting this pic again just cuz I love it so much. It's so "Cassie"
