In the immortal words of the legendary Alice Cooper "School's Out!" - yep, today is the last day of school for First Grader. Movin' on up to the 2nd grade in Auugst! Wow - when did this happen? How did this happen?
Today is also graduation practice day for Senior Daughter. Will have to change her name after today to "College-Bound Daughter" (so take notes so you won't get lost!) Sunday morning is graduation and Sunday afternoon is grad party. I'm thisclose to being done with everything for the grad party. Few things I need to take care of & then I need to make my list of food to buy, stuff to order (cake & balloons) & then take rest of stuff up to where the party will be so it's there & I don't have to try to deal with it on Sunday. Then I need to actually make out in detail how to do this sort of party so in the future I will have something to go on!
Yesterday was last party for First Grader (who will soon be known as "Almost Second Grader"). Had lots of parents who showed up to help! I am so lucky to have folks helping with the parties. One of the moms who was helping me said she had been room mom for one of her other children and no one ever came to help. The teacher of that class said the last 2 years she's had to do the parties because no one has ever stepped up to do it. Yeah, I'm feeling the love!
In other random ramblings (hey - if someone wants a blog name - that's a good one!) - the wind it is a blowin'! The leaves in the trees were making a huge noise yesterday afternoon as the wind gusts would hit them. But normal things like patio furniture & trash cans - winds not even touching them. I'm a little confused!
So where am I when I'm not here? Posting on my Genealogy Blog - so if you are looking for me here - go over there & you can read some of my (ha ha!) fascinating posts!
