Here come those lazy days of Summer

Over the weekend Elias said more than once how excited he was knowing that school was almost out. I remember that feeling as a kid, so much anticipation that the last few days of school were wasted in daydreams of waking up to the sound of the lawn mower and freshly cut grass, sleep overs on the trampoline, trips to classic water slides, the drive in, fireworks in the driveway, and of course summer would not be complete without a stake day at Lagoon.

Tomorrow is the last day of school so this week has been full of end of the year events.

Elias had a science day where the class had to talk about reports on insects they had done and they were allowed to dress up as scientists. He decided that since he had choosen to write a report on black widows that dressing up as a mad scientist was a perfect fit. He gave himself the name of "Dr. Ellsworth" for the day and several parents couldn't get over his English accent as he told them about the diet of the widow spider.

We also attended Brooke's kindergarten graduation yesterday too. All of the kindergartners sang songs that they have practiced for weeks. Brooke said earlier in the day that she couldn't wait to get up on that stage. She is my budding performer. She also shares the exact opposite of Elias' feelings and is very sad that school is going to end. Each day she comes home in mourning. She even said that the last day of school would not be a good day to go out for ice cream because she would be too sad.
