The Last Day of First Grade

Quinn is officially a 2nd grader!!! How in the world did that happen?

Pictures from yesterday, his last day in 1st grade (which was really just an awards assembly and early release):

FIELD DAY

Yesterday was quite possibly Q's favorite day in first grade . . . FIELD DAY!!! It was every bit as fun as I remember from my elementary school days! :-)

*Half of the events were in the gym. The other half were outside (after a very important break for snacks).

Wordless Wed (Tiger Choo-choo)

Park Fun

Holden and Fletcher had a play date with their buddies Wiley, Rachel and Connor at Pullen Park this morning. Although both the train and the carousel were closed for repairs, it was still a fun time. The highlights were the tire swing and the boats!

Memorial Day Weekend

Just a few snapshots from our holiday weekend at home . . .

Our Little Graduate

Yesterday was a BIG day for Holden . . . his preschool graduation! Mama Carol asked him if he was ready for Kindergarten. His response? "You bet I am!" Ha!

Party in the Rain

Yesterday was Q's End of the Year picnic for first grade. It was at the park and was billed as "rain or shine". Well, we ended up with much more rain than shine, but the kids had an absolute blast. They were WET and MUDDY, but they all seemed to love it!


Q's teacher is retiring after 41 years at his school (and 48 years of teaching). The class presented her with gifts of appreciation.

Wrapping Up Soccer

Q wrapped up his spring soccer season on Saturday. He had his final game in the morning,






AND his little brothers helped him enjoy his end of the year celebration in the evening! :-)

A Fun Festival

We spent part of our Saturday at the "Got to be NC" festival at the fairgrounds. It was a lot of fun!

We watched the tractor parade,







rode a few rides,





and saw some friends (the Glovers).



It started pouring. So, we ran to the car and took the boys to one of our old college hangouts . . . the Waffle House. They LOVED it!
