School's Out for Summer

   Well it's official summer vacation is finally here. My kids official last day was yesterday, Wed. 21, 2014, although Tanner has really only gone a few hours all week. Just here and there when he felt like it, cause they weren't really doing anything and grades were final-which he knew. It wasn't worth the fight for me to send him-cause I knew as well it was pointless-I mean they weren't even taking roll.
   Tanner had a great school year and has loved being at Dixie Middle School. George Washington Academy gave him a great start and foundation, but he was ready to move on. He finished off this last trimester with 6 A's and 2 B's. Overall he has had a good year, with mostly A's and just a B here or there. We were kind of worried about his anxiety with the transition to the bigger school, but he has actually done really well, and hasn't had any real problems with it. He is still pretty quite and shy, but has found a good group of boys, mostly kids from his baseball team, who he hangs out with at lunch and will periodically go to something with after school. I can't believe if but we know have an official highschooler on our hands-9th Grade WHAT?!
   Chloe had a fun last week of school. No uniforms all week-Yipee. They had a talent show, field day, 4th Grade Party, and a class party.For Chloe's talent we put together a short little video of her swim meets and she took in her medals and ribbons to show. The class party was yesterday. I was able to go in and help. We served brunch. Three of us made breakfast casseroles and served those along with other breakfast foods-surprisingly the kids all ate the casseroles really well. Then Chloe's teacher handed out awards-Chloe got the "helping hands award". Her teacher said she didn't know what she would have done without Chloe to help her during the year. Chloe has loved her teacher and has done so well this year. She got straight A's this trimester and received straight A's every trimester except for the first where she got a B in once subject. I can't believe how grown up our little


girl is getting-is she really going to be in 5th grade in a few months?!
