end of school.

the end of the school year definitely didn't go as planned. it was so sad for my girls to miss out on time with their awesome teachers. they really were some of the best! they loved them and it was really hard to say goodbye when it came time for that.

kendall's class zoom party was adorable. little 5 and 6 year olds trying to communicate over a screen...pretty comical.

the girls had different days turning their stuff in and they loved seeing their teachers face to face but hated saying goodbye to them.

after brooklyn's check out day, we headed home for our traditional last day festivities. they did the run through sign, we had play dough ice cream, watched a movie, and dreamed up our summer plans.

end of school fun!

we survived the end of school and all the madness that comes with it. i secretly love it, and this year, it really wasn't that bad. plus, my girls were excited about all of it so that made it even better! we started it all off with brooklyn and kendall's tumbling showcase. they had both sets of grandparents there and loved getting to do their performances for us after lots of practice. kendall was a little character "on stage" and had us laughing and smiling til our cheeks hurt during her whole performance. brooklyn practiced her little number at home for weeks and did such a good job!

the next day we went to kendall's family picnic for preschool. my girls loved playing (not eating) and kendall loved playing with her cute little buddy mason. we checked brooklyn out of school so that she could be there too.

day after that (see, crazy!), was kendall's cute preschool graduation. she wouldn't tell me anything about it beforehand, that it was a surprise. and surprised i was. she had a speaking part and knew every word. she knew all the songs and looked so cute and big up there on the stage. she lucked out with a huge fan club there to support her, including her uncle dev who surprised us all! i loved it!

i finished up my pta duties. i worked with so many great women and loved being a part of such a good group.

the last day of school snuck up on us and i brooklyn and i both said we couldn't believe it was here! i had been in arizona for the days leading up to the last day, so nana made sure she had a treat to pass out at school and new pajamas for pajama day. brooklyn was thrilled and so excited for the last day!

last day of 2nd grade.

after the flag ceremony to close the school year out, we raced home to run through the 'summer sign', put on new nightgowns, and eat play dough ice cream! these traditions, as you know, make my heart so happy!

last day of school!

first up, kendall's last day of play school!

gosh we've loved being a part of this little group. kendall loved seeing 'her boys' every week and getting to play at their houses.

they had a cute little graduation set up by one of the other moms and it was darling. the kids got a kick out of it!

kendall got the award for queen of imagination, which if you know her, fits her perfectly!

brooklyn got an award the last week of school for citizenship in her class. james was able to come to the assembly and we were so proud of her!

the real last day of school came upon us so quickly! brooklyn was a little sad because she has absolutely loved her teacher this year and is sad to move on to second grade without her. i tried really hard to make it a fun day when she got home to help a little with the sadness.

we celebrated with a run through sign, new pjs and toothbrushes, and play dough ice cream.

then they all snuggled up to watch mulan and take naps. so so so ready for summer!!!
