One day, while watching the kids in the pool, Em brought this spider  (that was actually dead) over to me and said “here, take pictures of this”… and I thought, why not? So I did…

then Erin brought this flying critter (that was actually dead) over to me and said “take pictures of this”… so I did…

and then an uninvited guest showed up (that was NOT dead)…
and he pulled…
and pulled…
and pulled…

and then I let him have his lunch…

365… {week 24}

a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon…
today was a wii day. love how they take any game and make it their own…
after a day of swimming, Elena gets ‘goggle eyes’… 
early morning coloring… i love how she is always busy…
the girls spied this little bird taking shelter from the storm under our car… so much rain lately…
Elena loves the summer and all of the fresh fruit – she ‘juices’ them and makes her own popsicle concoctions:)
she has been assisting me on my sessions lately. i love having her with:)

365… {week 23}

Chalked the girls hair for the last days of school… messy but fun!
we made cards for our teachers. they will all be missed. a lot. such a great bunch this year!
took advantage of an early dismissal and $5 Tuesdays and went to see Epic. so cute!
what grade are we in now?
ahhhh the first day of flip flop freedom. the girls cant wait for school to be over so they can wear these all day, every day.
the great end of the year purge. empty those backpacks girls!
Elena has been a big helper lately. From photo shoots, to grocery shopping, to house cleaning. love that she is so willing:)

Last day…

Yesterday was the last day of school… and a big last day! The last day I will have three girls in elementary school. All three of them in one building.
Next year? Two in elementary, one in middle school, and a high school senior! Crazy, really, when I think about it!

Beginning of the year:

End of the year:

Em will never forgive me for not letting her go back for her glasses;) And Erin doesn’t need hers anymore!

last elementary report card…
last walk home as a kindergartener…

Their awards…
Em’s Bubble Yum Award for her ‘fun and bubbly personallity’
Erin was so proud of her photo she got taken with the principal
And Elena got the ‘Cheerful and Good Learner Award’
Next year - 
First Grade
Fourth Grade
Fifth Grade

this wasn’t from the last day, but it’s the most recent shot I have of him;)

 

Elena’s teacher was Mrs McGuiney… her best friends were Kaiya and Hailey… her favorite activities were the Fourth Grade Celebration, Harrisburg Field Trip, and the Wizard of Oz play (she played Auntie Em)… her favorite subject was science… her favorite project was her Milton Hershey report… her favorite days were Colonial Days, field day, and Valentine’s Day… and she really enjoyed being a part of the Safety Patrol this year.

Em’s teacher was Mrs Marsden… her best friends were Hannah and Rachel… her favorite activities were the Franklin Institute field trip, going to the YMCA… her favorite subject was reading… her favorite project was her clown fish research and diorama… her favorite days were Fun Friday’s, the Polar Express day, and PJ day.

Erin’s teacher was Mrs Benner… her best friends were Isabelle and Emma… her favorite activities were the field trip to the Da Vinci Science Center, Christmas party and kid writing… her favorite subject was reading with Mrs Schartel…  her favorite project was making Valentine bags… her favorite days were the 100 Days Celebration and Farm Day.

Joey made it to the State Wrestling Tournament again this year. He placed 8th in the 120 b weight class in AAA. By doing so, he made history again this year – he became the first Berks Wrestler to medal in AA and AAA divisions. (Last year his 7th place medal earned him the title of the first father-son team from Berks to place at States). He overcame great obstacles this year after sitting out the first four weeks of the season with mono, and suffering a concussion at States. I am more than proud of him!

Looking forward to enjoying a (hopefully) restful summer and then gearing up for a crazy 2013-2014 school year!

This week I took a stroll around the yard after a gentle rain. I have been fascinated with capturing rain drops this year…
