Libby's last day of school

Well we've been very busy lately - just not with anything newsworthy. :-) However, yesterday was Libby's last day of 1st grade...I now have a 2nd grader!!!! Insane! I switched my day to volunteer in her class to Friday so that I could enjoy her last day of 1st grade with her. I kept wanting to cry...it's so hard to believe that she is growing up so fast. Not to mention that this was her last day at Littlewood and her last day seeing her friends since we'll be moving this summer. The class was so sweet...they all presented me with little cards that they made for me and they gave me a dozen of the most fragrant roses I've ever smelled. It was a party day in class since it was the last day so they had tons of fun. Near the end of the day they packed up all of their stuff and then cleaned their tables with shaving cream - which was a mess! :-)

When it was time for the final bell Libby said bye to her friends, gave her teacher a big hug, and walked out of the door to become an official 2nd grader!

Last night Libby had some more fun planned. Our Build-A-Bear had a Hawaiian Cruise party so we met Libby's friend Riley there. The girls had a lot of fun playing shuffleboard (that was their favorite game to play - which was surprising to me!), they made tissue flowers, they had relay races to see who could dress their bears in a box of swimwear and accessories the fastest (Libby won!), and some other games. Libby had so much fun! They brought their own Build-A-Bears to the party but they got to leave with a new bathing suit, towel, sandals, and sunglasses all for their Build A-Bear and they also got a beach towel for the children. So, they left with all sorts of loot.

We got home at about 8:45pm and Libby stayed up playing some Wii games with Ryan. They both had a lot to celebrate...in addition to it being Libby's last day of school yesterday we found out that Ryan is the Employee of the Month for his bank! Out of 1,200 employees throughout Florida and Georgia it was my Ryan who was picked as the Employee of the Month!! :-)
