HELLO SUMMER!

Good evening everyone! Busy busy week but the school year is officially complete. But first, a look back at the week. Tuesday was the start of Spirit Week so Mia wore her Captain America tank/skirt. After I dropped her off, I jetted home to grab my supplies and returned to teach Mrs. Mayer's 2nd grade class. They wanted to do Emoji's so I did a nice drawing session with the kids. For the most part, they where great and had a lot of fun drawing with me. I always enjoy drawing with her classes and she's an incredibly awesome teacher and I hope she gets her for 2nd grade next year. She asked me to draw a pineapple for her class while they where drawing 2nd and 3rd emojis so I had to do it quick. I'd like to do another one for her next year. Said my goodbyes and went home before heading to work.

Wednesday was crazy-hair day. Mia and Jill had this awesome idea to do her hair with a Starbucks empty cup, Kleenex and straw. Her hair made the coffee look so it was really fun and was a head-turner for parents and teachers at the school. Somehow, she got out of school with her hair intact. Thursday was Tropical Day so she get all dressed up in some cute Hawaii-inspired attire. 

Friday was her very last day. A bittersweet day, but mostly an exciting day. She decided to end her school year the exact same way she started it: Walking with her friend Noelle to school. Along with sister Cora, the girls made their final walk they'll ever do to Orchard Lane. Noelle will be attended a STEM Academy in the Fall. Luckily, the girls are still neighbors and will get to hang out after school and throughout the Summer. They plan on doing the always enjoyable lemonade stand and this week, will be attending together a two-day Critter Camp at HAWS.

School was only a half day, so Remi and I picked up Mia and walked home with Mia, Noelle and her family. I was pretty happy I got a really cute photo of Mia, Cecilia and Noelle on their very last day. Remi really enjoyed all the kids at parent pick-up petting him. He had about 5 kids at one point. Looked like he was in doggy heaven. 

Saturday, Mia, myself and Jill ran to the Stefans Tent Sale and picked up a pair of really nice goalie gloves for a good price for Mia's team this Fall. Mia even wants to give the keeper position a try. She did great in the yard and will practice more at the park this Summer. Later, we picked up her BFF Cecilia for Mia's big dance recital/sleep over. She was so stoked for recital day since she's been working really really hard all year on 3 songs with 3 different costume changes. The girls grabbed some subs for dinner before we left for Sussex for the recital. We met up with my family as well as Jill's parents and brother. Cecilia was a good sport watching the dances and enjoying all of the ones Mia was in. Just like last year, Mia's very serious when she dances and rarely smiles. I'm glad she has fun with dance, but it wouldn't kill her to smile just a little bit? She really liked her last costume during their Rio song. Mia shocked me when she had to do a jump with the splits in mid-air. She said its called "the Russian" when they jump. Okay. 

After wards, she got her flowers, big hugs from Cecilia and we were off to yoMama for frozen yogurt. The girls ate and colored till after 9:00pm. Geez. They watched Coco and roasted marshmallows before heading off to Mia's room where they were supposed to sleep. I could hear them talking and quietly playing for a while. At one point around 1:45am I woke up and checked and they where both asleep. Mia on the floor on her sleeping bag and Cecilia in Mia's tiny bed. They woke up around 9am and started playing before asking for breakfast. They played a bit more before I took Cecilia home. The girl leaves Tuesday for a few weeks with her Grandma (I believe) so Mia and her will probably have a day or so before we leave for Hawaii/CA. 

Later, Mia myself and Jill made the short drive to Avant-Garde where Mia got her ears pierced. She's been looking forward to today for quite a while and took the piercing like a champ. She said it did hurt, but she's pretty glad she did it. The girls did a great job piercing her and I'd totally recommend the place again. She loves her new teal earrings and can't wait to show all her friends.

This week, Critter Camp and a pair of Torrent games Fri and Sunday. That's all for now, thanks for reading!!
