School's Out for the Summer!

May 30th - 31st

Hi! I just wanted to share a couple of pictures that I took last Friday and Saturday

Carrigan's teacher had a special last day planned for the kids. The got to have a big lunch with Mexican and Chinese food as well as play all day on the big jumpers. It was a great last day for all of the kids! Now on to 2nd Grade!!!!


Carrigan and her teacher Mrs. Tyree



Carrigan and her friend Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn came in 2nd place in the
AR competition and wore her shirt also on the last day
of school. As you can see in the picture - the kids all signed each others shirts.



Carrigan and her friend Camryn.



Carrigan and her best friend Lydia. Lydia and Carrigan
were also in the same Kindergarten class last year.
Isn't she a cutie. She's so small :-)

I took the kids to Augusta this past weekend. Rusty had to study so we dropped him off at the library and I took the kids back to their favorite park on the river.



The kids are standing on the stairs that go down to the river and the park.



Alan loved going head first down the big slide.



Carrigan loves her little brother too much sometimes - LOL!



I loved the willow tree next to the water!
I took forever for the kids to line up just right!

It was a very hot day in Augusta. The kids only played for about 3 hours and then they were ready to drive around. We were hoping that the fountain was on for the kids to play in but they had a bunch of vendors lined up selling stuff (plants, purses, veggies, etc...) so the fountain wasn't on that Saturday. Luckily Rusty called right as we were getting into the car so we didn't have to drive around and waste time and gas :-) We ended up going to a RV dealership to get a part for the camper and ended up looking at some new ones. Maybe when Rusty gets out of school we can get a new one :-) That's what I call the 2 year plan :-)

I took the kids to the library this past Tuesday and had them check out some books. Carrigan checked out 5 books and Alan checked out about the same. Carrigan in 2 days got over 5 hours of reading time. My child loves to read! I took them back today for them to check out more books since Carrigan read all of hers and her brothers. She has been reading all afternoon! She loves Junie B. Jones books. She has read just about all of them. Today she checked out moer Junie B. Jones books, Beezus and Ramona, some really easy readers and some of the Amelia Bedella series book. She also likes the Magic Treehouse Series. I just hope that she keeps up the reading through out school. Alan on the other hand makes up his own stories since he can't read yet. It's so cute!

I hope that everyone is having a great week!
Kim
