Last Day

... of school, of course!

This is the latest that I remember the kids having to go: right until the last day of June. No wonder AppleApple threw her backpack aside and her arms in the air with a whoop of joy!

We said goodbye. Fooey has had the same teacher for her two kindergarten years, and what a loving and caring teacher she has been for my girl, watching her grow and nurturing her all the way along. "She's half mine, you know," her teacher said to me, as we said goodbye. AppleApple has also had the same teacher for two years. She wondered, a little bit teary-eyed: "Why is it so much harder saying goodbye to a wonderful teacher after two years than after just one?"

Well, then. Let's get this summer started. As Albus would say (in truly the sweetest way possible, every morning to me): "Smell ya later, school!"
