Summer vacation here we come!

Summer vacation started today. It was a very good day, full of excitement. We started with Henry’s kindergarten graduation. The cake says Tyler because everyone always forgets that he goes by his middle name. He wanted to dress-up nice, he was so proud and so serious. He barely cracked a smile, he was so cute.

The ceremony itself was short and sweet, just the way I like it.

Then we had water day (for the rest of the morning) with the rest of the school. The firemen came with their truck and watered the kids. There were multiple other games, some involving water, some not. The kids had a blast and would not stay put, so I had a really hard time taking pictures of them.

Henry is really excited to be in 1^st grade next year and what he’s most excited about is hot lunch and eating in the cafeteria. So I thought I would treat him to a mother/son date of hot lunch at the cafeteria. He was in heaven.

After, came a necessary quiet time for mom. After all the excitement, a migraine set in and I figured I should take something and go hide in a dark and quiet place (a.k.a. under a blanket and wearing earplugs) until the medicine kicked in. A couple of hours and a little tidying later we went to (what could be better?)… the McDonald’s play place. We had dinner (even caramel sundaes) and we played, well they played and I read.

But the fun was not over yet; we finally rented the tooth fairy movie, went home, popped some popcorn and watched what turned out to be a cute movie. We enjoyed despite Henry comment as the end credits started to roll. He said: “This should have been R-rated, there was way too much kissing.” There really wasn’t :).

Now, the kids are tucked in, I took another migraine pill and I’m going to sleep all this excitement away. We truly had a great day.
