Friday was such a busy day!! I spent the whole afternoon at christophers school crying and laughing and loving on the kids and hugging Mrs Stark. The kids loved thier pizza party and Mrs Stark loved her scrap book. Earlier in the morning she had called me to as if I would come in later by almost an hour due to some conferences going on, well when I got their I realized it was a trick! She needed more time with the kids to finish my incredible gift!!!! She made me an apron with all the kids' handprints on it that said "hands down the best room mom" on it!! I instantly started crying and hugged all the kids and just was so sad to see them move on to first grade! The last 15 minutes of school was the 5th grade walk, where all the kids in the school line up in the halls and the 5th graders walk all the halls to say a final goodbye to all their past teachers and friends. It was very emotional and all the teachers (and me!) were crying and the kids thought it was funny. Finally it was time to say goodbye and a final bear hug to Mrs Stark and more tears later and it was over! My little man was officially a graduate of Kindergarten! I cried on and off all afternoon and he was so proud of himself! As was I. :)
Saturday was super busy too! Brian worked overtime to try and make some money for our trip to Murphy, NC, and I had some errands to run. First, me and the kids had donuts in bed that Brian had left us before he went to work, and then we went to the School Box store and got some posters for summer school stuff as well as flash cards for laci. Then we went to TRU to get a birthday gift for Alana. Then we went to her birthday party at a place by Francis and Brannons house and ended up spending a few hours there. It was good and cold inside the jumpy place and surprisingly empty, The company was good and the kids had a ball and it was easy to kill 4 hours. I teared up thinking of them moving soon and I am not looking foward to losing some of our best friends. :( After that I took the kids home and Brian got home and we played outside for a bit and then by 6:30 both kids were sacked out sleeping in Christopher's room. It was the first overnight sleepover of sorts ever in there for them together.
Today was a bit of a hectic day. We decided to go check out the beach at Red Top Mountain and even though it was pretty, it wasnt my cup of tea. It was not as convenient or as nice as the othe rday use areas we use, but in the fall it will be a favorite place for us to walk and hike though for sure! After that, we went home and played outside for a bit, then we went to Walmart to go grocery shopping. On the way home a severe storm hit and on the highway we drove right through what seemed like a small tornado! The rain was a complete whiteout on the highway and cars were pulled over everywhere....then suddenly the wind was blowing sideways and tree branches started falling everywhere and the hail was big and loud and cars were so piled up under the bridges I had no choice but to keep pushing on to get home. The kids were both scared and I was too...until my protective side took over seeing those two scared faces in my rearview. I assured them both that Mommy was going to get them home safe, and that it was just loud rain, but to not be scared that I promised I would keep them safe. I told them I loved them and we pushed on, finally getting home with the water spraying up in huge waves higher than the durango driving down our road. Finally we got home and the rain and hail passed (for now) and the kids cleaned their rooms and had dinner and are now in bed.
Tomorrow we are going to my mom's house for Memorial Day for a BBQ. The kids are going to play in the yard and kiddie pool and we are bringing Clover so we can all just relax and enjoy the day. I am really looking foward to it.
Hope everyone else is enjoying thier weekend! Happy official start to summer!
