so what better way to relive my favorite season, than to try to catch up somewhat on the blog and post the highlights? i'll start in chronological order and bring us back to june -- specifically, the day after school ended.
we've started a new tradition of celebrating the kids' success (straight A's for both on every report card this year, and more importantly, glowing comments from their teachers on their kindness, work ethic, and love of learning) by taking them bowling. chris had a groupon for some hoity toity bowling alley that we could never have afforded otherwise, and took a half day off for the celebration. since the public schools were still in session, we pretty much had the run of the place.
a toast to an amazing 3rd and 4th grade year, with raleigh's most expensive shirley temple. (check out the lanes in the top right corner -- fancy lights and glowing gutters and all)
air hockey proved to be another favorite
another school year down. i blinked, and it was over. poof. just like that.
a sweet thank you note from susanna. funness and awesomeness ... doesn't get much better than that
