End of School

This school year really flew by. I'm sure I'll say that every year. But it's true. Here are some pictures from the end of Ellie's Kindergarten and Emma's 1st grade school year.

Field Day:

Emma and Ellie got to do the games together. They didn't have to stay with their class.

End of field day, ready to go home! Their school did Field Day ALL day. They came in for snack and lunch, but were outside the rest of the day. They thought it was awesome that they didn't have to do any math or reading and that they got to play the whole school day. They had a blast! Thank you to mom for keeping Will so I could go with the girls! It was a hot, but fun day!

It makes me a little sad that Emma will be in 2nd grade and Ellie will be in 1st next year. They are growing up so fast...I know I can't slow that down, so I need to try harder to enjoy each moment before they grow up even more. I like this quote they put in the Kindergarten slideshow:
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss

Looks like a fun end-of-the-year. I don't want my girls to grow up as fast as yours have! :)
