School's Out

Last Sunday after her soccer game, Clara invited over her twin brother classmate friends. They were so sweet and well-behaved. They were only here for a little over an hour, so they had to pack in as much fun as they could.

This year's teacher inscription to Clara in her "Oh, The Places You Will Go" book.

This week Clara's class got to tie dye shirts that they all wore for their outing to the park on Wednesday.

The last day of school for the girls was this past Thursday.

First day of first grade and last day comparison for Clara:

Clara and I biked to school on the last day.

First day of eighth grade and last day comparison for Brynn. Not sure how she manages to age so much in the span of one year...every year!

Clara teacher was superb this year as well and she had a great year of first grade. She will really miss Ms. Monson. 

Brynn collected a bunch of signatures for her yearbook. They did a clap-out for the 8th graders (a good-bye to middle school as they transition on to high school), which I was not allowed to attend per Brynn. I actually don't know if any other parents go to it, but I thought it would be cool and would largely go unnoticed, but no dice. :-) She is looking forward to starting high school next year.

After dinner we went for our end-of-the-school-year treat at Insomnia Cookies.

Brynn was itching to finish up at Insomnia to get over to her friend sleepover. They had a whole host of activities planned, some of which included making cupcakes, painting tennis shoes and decorating sunglasses.

Brynn is going to be home and watch Clara this week and then our nanny will start on the 6th. Clara is very excited to spend the summer with Jenine (nanny). Clara is signed up for tennis, golf, track, swimming and will be finishing up soccer in the next couple of weeks. 

Brynn is still planning to work at Culver's, continue to practice driving and get her driver's permit.

Here's to a great summer!
