School's Out

Kitty finished Kindergarten way back in June and since we're almost ready to start 1st grade, I figure now is the time to talk about the last day of school.

It was sad and exciting and super hot outside.

It was super hot outside because I volunteered for Field Day.  Had I not volunteered, it would have been a perfect 72°.  I guarantee it. 

Here's Kitty on the first and last day of school.

The biggest change is all those missing teeth!  She lost a lot this year.  What a cute Kitty I have.

Here we are at Field Day.  I was in charge of a game called the Fireman's relay.  The kids had to fill a pail with water, pass it down the line, and dump it into a bucket at the end.  The first team to fill their bucket won.  It was a fun game but involved a lot of cheering  and herding on my part.  My froat hurt at the end.

And here's her teacher, Mrs. Nielsen.  She was amazing and I'm incredibly grateful for the way she watched out for Kitty all year. She gave Kitty a fantastic start to her school career.  I'm so sad Kindergarten is over.

Now on to 1st grade! (I'm wailing inside)
