It's over already?

Wow!  I can't believe that this is the last week of school.  It seems like this school year has just flew by.  I'm excited and sad at the same time.  Excited that he'll be moving on to the 1st grade in the fall, but then sad for the exact same reason.  He's definitely not my little baby anymore :(  Chris has been talking a lot lately about wanting to hurry and grow up.  I'm like, "Slow down, kiddo!  You're doing it fast enough as is."  ;) 

This last week of school is going to be pretty busy.  I'm hoping to have lunch with him one more time either today or tomorrow.  On Wednesday they are having Awards Day.  I'm not sure if Chris is going to get anything or not, but I'm going to be there just in case.  And even if he doesn't get anything, it's cute watching all the other kids get their awards :). 

Thursday is Field Day!  Chris is super excited about that.  I had originally planned on volunteering as a floater (just going wherever they need me), but now Eric has agreed to volunteer in my place so I can go with Chris to all of the little events and watch him do them and take pics, etc!  Events start at 8:45 for Kindergarten and 1st graders and they go until lunch time.  After lunch, they start the tug-of-war games by grade level.  I remember that was my favorite part of field day when I was little.  Can't wait to see Chris and his class do it! 

Friday is the Kindergarten graduation.  Ohhhhhhhh man.  I'm preparing myself now for lots of tears.  I know some people may think it's silly to get emotional over something like that, but I just can't help it.  It especially doesn't help when they put on performances and play sappy songs :P  Chris said they are working on a play, so I'm excited to see what that's about.  This past weekend at a yard sale I found a camcorder and got an awesome deal on it!  It's really nice and even came with a new blank DVD so I can start recording right away.  I knew when I saw it that it would be perfect to have for the graduation.  He'll only graduate kindergarten once, why not get it on video?!  :) 

I've been a little worried about the boys being bored this summer because of us not having a lot of money to do things, but our calendar has already filled up quite a bit with fun, FREE things to do.  We signed them up for the Summer Reading Program and there are all kinds of events at the library this summer for that.  In their summer reading packet they received a free Crawdad's game ticket, free soft play at Hickory Dickory Dock, and a free treat or meal at various restaurants in the area.  The day after school one of my best friend's daughters is having her birthday party.  A couple days later we'll be going to an ice cream party at another one of my best friend's houses.  I'm sure the Fab 4 (my small group of besties) will be getting together for lots of playdates, also. 

I'm looking forward to the events of this last week of school and all of the fun things we have planned for summer break.
