So yesterday was Reid and Alayna's last day of 5th and 4th grade! Eli won't start kindergarten until the fall, so it was not a big day for him. Here is a picture of them on their FIRST day of school this year.
And, after several tears, threats from me, and one fight, here is a picture from their LAST day of school!
I think they've grown and changed a lot, don't y'all? Reid had his 5th grade awards ceremony, singing and walk through the school. He'll be going to middle school next year. CANNOT believe it. I thought I was going to be really weepy and sad, but I'm happy to say I wasn't! Jason was with me, and he thinks that stuff is so corny that it's hard to cry, because he's got me laughing the whole time.
So now summer has officially begun at the Parks Home! I always start each summer with a stern lecture to my kids about how it's not going to be a free-for-all, eat-all-day, sleep-all-day, be-lazy-all-day, sit-around-in-your-pjs-all-day summer. I told them we were going to have an eating schedule so the kitchen wasn't open and messy all day. I also mentioned getting some posters and chores charts and schedules and stuff.

But really, who am I kidding? By mid-June they'll be staying up until 2 a.m. and sleeping until noon, making messes and eating me out of house and home. I'm not so great at following through with stuff. I have good intentions.
Well, I had several other pictures I wanted to post today, but I had a small nervous breakdown just getting these two uploaded. Blogging is hard work!
I've really enjoyed being your guest speaker today. So I guess until your regularly scheduled blogger is back in town, you're stuck with me.
Until next time...

Those kids have gotten too big and although we want them to move on to the next grade, it is sad when the year is over. Summer will go by way too fast and we will all wonder where it went. Let's enjoy it and get together more often this summer.
