The LAST Day

So much wraps up today. School is out. Dekker is done at elementary school. Wavy is done not being in school. Laela is done being second in command in the group who walks to school. Solly is done being the baby of the group. So. Much. Change.

This morning as I prepared the kids for their last day, I told them I would come walk to pick them up from school so I could help carry things home. We’ve been sending reusable bags with each kid each day, and the teachers have been awesome at sending things home gradually. But we had some sickies so I knew there would still be more to bring. When I presented this idea, every kid piped up and asked if I would walk them to school, also! I loved this, and happily went along.

I managed to get there for pickup as well. It was beautiful and hot out, and it was fun to see everyone so happy, heading home for the summer. It really felt like summer. And now we can really just coast in it. Sleep in. Take it easy. In between all the appointments, lake stuff, foster stuff, etc. No shortage, friends. Not ONE! But I wouldn’t trade it 💜

Happy summer, friends! If your kid is in my kids grade, which class are they in??
