Grant finished out 5th grade this week with a class picnic at school. It seems that school always ends with a bunch of nonsense days but when I look back on it, they will be some awesome days that G will always remember. I can remember my own 5th grade end of the year party...it held more significance than Grant's since I was moving to another state and wouldn't really see my elementary friends anymore, I suppose. In any case, we sweated out the day hanging one last day as elementary kids. This was his gang of cronies this year: Eli, Cooper, and Spencer.
Kaleigh has been a friend to Grant for a few years now and she's also a neighbor down the street.
I was trying to get Grant to participate in a picture with some of his girl friends...(read that girl (pause, pause) friends...not girlfriends :) ) but he was being ornery and made his boy buds get in the picture AND between the girls and him. Gah. Anyway, Tyson, Reagan, and Olivia. Grant and Reagan "liked" each other for the better part of this school year and last but don't tell anyone that I said that:)
Grant and his buddy Breck. It is here that I notice that G really need a mowing on that hair. The spikes have grown quite tall. The end of the school year is so busy! Who has time for hair cuts?
Friends.
Elaina hung with me through several hot picnics and what-not for her brothers. As you can see, she had a terrible time and never got any attention from anyone.
Cooper has been Grant's best bud at school for several years. Cooper is a kid that keeps me laughing. I love that kid!
I made G's friend Sophia stop for a picture. They did a lot of playground playing and would hang at church together.
Oh, and here's me. I was at the picnic too:)
Grant loved his teachers this year. Mrs. Moss was his homeroom and he traveled to Mrs. Kofahl's room for math and science. Cade had Mrs. Kofahl too and we loooooved her. I have no idea why I do not have a picture of her because I KNOW I took one:/
Fifth grade has literally flown by. I think this may have been the fastest school year we've had yet. I cannot fathom that kid #2 is headed to the middle school already. I'm thankful though....thankful that God has given me so many healthy years to enjoy them and watch them grow, and thankful that they are maturing and developing into their own people. Fifth grade's just about a wrap. Only the graduation ceremony to go!
