Well, today is the last day of school here. Brooke is now officially a junior in high school (YIKES...gotta start thinking about college), Kevin a freshman (OMG!), Mark a 6th grader (moving to middle school -- another OMG!) and Daniel is a 1st grader (never, ever again, will I have a Kindergartener...sniff, sniff, tear).
I always feel strangely sentimental at the end of school. On the one hand, I am glad to see school end and summer begin. I always start out the summer kind of enjoying having the kids home. I enjoy summer activities...the pool with friends, vacations, baseball games, playdates, etc. On the other hand, I am saddened by the passage of time. More than even birthdays, I really feel the passage of time with the last day of school. Maybe because birthdays come one at a time. On the last day of school they all "grow up" together.
So, I am happy for the kids and proud of their wonderful accomplishments. And I am sad for me...that my babies are growing up.
