School's Out!

Today was the last day of school. The boys had a great year in kindergarten and second grade, so you'll have to excuse my parental bragging for a moment. John was tested at the end of the year, and he scored in the 99th percentile in all categories - mental ability, math, and reading. He literally could not have scored any higher! These scores earned him a spot in the gifted program next year. And Henry's teacher held an award ceremony at their end-of-the-year party, where she gave them photo frames with adjectives that describe them. I could not have been more proud of Henry's award - intelligent, nice, studious, calm, and polite. As tradition calls, we met the boys at the bus stop today with silly string. Poor Frances Anne kept up with her tradition of crying every year too. I can't tell if she hates silly string, or she just hates all the chaos and screaming that comes with it!
