last day of school and 35

Layla bug is very happy about summer break!!  

Can you tell?

She is so excited to be a 1st grader, but she is sad about not having the same teacher.  Mrs. Welch is leaving Layla's school.  Layla won't see her in the halls next year.  I think and know it makes Layla sad. 

When Gary and I thought back to our kindergarten experiences we realized that we both attended kindergarten half a day.  I went in the morning from 8am-12pm.  My teacher scared me to death.  Gary went half a day too.  Layla has attended kinder all day long from 7:30am-3:00pm, and Layla is 5 years old.  I can see how she has an attachment to her wonderful teacher.  Bless her heart.  So last night she was a little sad.   We'll keep her busy with fun activities all summer, so hopefully she will not be so sad.

I love this picture of me and my munchkins. I am always behind the camera.  

I just wish I had make-up on ;)

Even though my birthday is today, the kids couldn't keep my gifts a secret!  When Layla got home from school yesterday they just had to give me my presents.   I got FUN stuff....the cup I have been wanting, I got a Rachael Ray magazine, HOT tamales candy and Twix minis.  My little people know me so well and they delivered some fun goodies for my special day!  We are camping this weekend, so tonight we will have lots of cheesecake :) YUM!   

Have a great weekend everyone!
