School's OUT for SUMMER !!!

Crazy how the school year has flown right on by . . . Lots of fun days . . . a few sad/bad days . . . but all my days are brighter because of my boys. They are my SUNSHINE !!! Last night we watched Kallahan play for hours at the Baseball End Of Season Party . . . Today, Kallahan and I snook out of school and went out to lunch! (Shhhhhh . . . don't tell !!!) Earlier in the day, I was able to watch the 2nd grade Talent Show with him and then I even got to SUB for his class for a couple of hours! What a treat for this Momma!!! At the end of the day, I happened upon a 6th Grade Reader who has just written and illustrated his 1st book. He was reading to a Kindergarten class . . . and to my surprise, I recognized that voice and dropped in to hear his story. Braeden James McKee, you make me proud!!! He has had rough year at Bales . . . our whole family is glad this year is over for him! In spite of the drama (no details necessary), he received the following awards at the ceremony today: All A's 2009-10, Presidential Academic Award of Excellence, and Perfect Attendance for this school year AND for the three years he was at Bales: 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.

It's been fun. And it's been crazy. But it's OVER !!! Let the summer begin!
