Last day of School

Today was Sam's last day of school. I can't believe that he is finished with another year, next year will be in pre-k. I don't know how it happened so fast. We got mini rose bushes for his two teachers and he drew his one eyed monsters in their cards and actually wrote his name. We gave Miss Audrey a Amex gift card and for Miss Meryl we made a donation to the Mandy Reichman feeding program. This is a program that she started in memory of her daughter who dreamed about ended hunger.

All the kids were so cute, giving their gifts and talking about what they will be doing this summer. The class gifts were beautiful scrap books that each child's hand print was on one side with a page that we each made at home on the other. I was glad to be able to look though the books after they were presented. What wonderful keepsakes.

The camp bus came on Sunday, it was the trial run day. We were told to expect the bus sometime after 1:15 so finally at around 2:45 the bus pulls up. We all run outside to meet the driver and the bus counselors. They give Sam his camp backpack and let him look around inside the bus. After surveying the bus, he says to the counselors, my car has a tv and they said well we play really fun games. Thankfully he was satisfied.

We got back into the house and took out the camp shirt which Sam had to put on and wear for the rest of the day. He is so excited. And so are we with the added nervousness of sending your kid off with strangers on a bus at the expected pick up time of 8:20 a.m. for 9 a.m. camp that 2 miles away. Yes, he'll be looping around the neighborhood apparently playing games.
