School’s Out For Summer!

We did it! We made it through our first year at Stanford. I am so proud of The Little Girl and all that she has accomplished this year. Yes, it’s just preschool but it was a big change for her and for us. It was a new learning environment, a new school, new teachers, new friends, new rules, new expectations. But, we did it! Okay, SHE did it but I’m gonna take some credit since I packed umpteen hundred lunches and sat in the drop off/pick up line for approximately 20+ minutes every day.

Let’s see how much my favorite preschooler has changed over the last year.

She’s grown quite a bit don’t cha think?

We made a big fuss over the first day of school and I was equally excited to go out with a bang for the last day of school. When I was in college in Mobile, Alabama I once happened to drive through a school zone on the last day of school. (FYI – there are no buses in Mobile. Everyone gets picked up by car and it kept a lot of college girls with an after school job.) Anyway, I saw that lots of the moms had decorated their cars for the big event. There were streamers. There were balloons. There were windows painted. It looked so festive and I fell in love with the idea. I vowed then and there to do the same when I had kids.

So, today, I did it! I decorated our vehicle inside and out and I made a huge fuss over the last day of school complete with balloons.

Now, let’s get this summer going! We’ve already done camping. Up next on our list of summer fun is a road trip to Chattanooga.
