i can hardly believe it after friday, finn will no longer be
a 3rd grader, and scoutie will no longer be a kindergartener!
even though the school year is winding down,
the activities that come with the end of the school year,
have been keeping the students, teachers and parents busier than ever.
last week was explorer's exhibition night.
it's a pretty big deal for the kids.
they prepare for weeks to showcase what they've
been learning and doing all year.
we started the night in scout's classroom which had 'stations' set up.
students took their parents {and in our case, their auntie too},
around the room to each station to show us all of their projects
{a book they wrote and illustrated, value of money game,
an interactive human digestive system game, etc}
the kids were in the rooms before the parents arrived
and when we walked into the room, our sometimes shy scoutie
had completely disappeared.
in his place was a confident and very verbal 5 year old.
he was SO serious as he went through every station explaining them to us,
as well as to other parents whose kids weren't quite so excited about sharing.
he truly shined, and even took a little bow after leading his tour.
{got this idea after seeing finn bow at his recent piano recital}
a created a little photo collage with the couple phone photos i
snapped. the app i used is called framemagic. i'm a beginner
camera phone person so bear with me, i'll get better in time
{i hope}

and here is finn's 'outside the lens' project which is sortuva
photography/writing class. i wish they offered something like
that in my elementary school!
i'm not sure if you can make out the first line,
but after reading it, i couldn't help but smile
and tell him i love his hands {and hugs} too.
yesterday i took the afternoon off work to attend scout's
end of the year class party. i stopped by the store, grabbed
a big tray of fresh fruit and showed up at liberty station park.
it's just 2 blocks from their school so the kids walked over.
we had a fun filled afternoon.
now the hard part begins before i can enjoy summer...
finding camps and a summer sitter for the boys.
