Thank you Alice Cooper. Yesterday was the last day of school for the kids. It's been a busy couple of days. Monday we were up at Russ and Jill's for dinner. The kids splashed around in the big inflatable pool and in the hot tub too. Why the hot tub when it was 90 degrees, I don't know. KyKy and I were late getting up there because it was the 8th grade trip to Valleyfair. Apparently she passed this grueling school event because she was given her certificate yesterday saying she had passed 8th grade.
So yesterday was the 8th grade "commencement" at school. Talk about bittersweet. The kids are all excited about the end of the school year, but this year is also marking the breakup of the Gang of Four teachers who have been holding down 7th and 8th grades at Emerson for 8 years. Teachers cried. Students cried. Parents cried. It was sad having to watch the end of an era. KyKy gave a short commencement speech, and she and The Other (Younger) Half gave flowers to the Gang of Four. Believe it or not, I actually posted pictures of the end of school year events over on the Picasa page link on the left. Don't get your hopes up. I took the pictures. They're crappy.
Today marks yet another milestone in our family life. I biked to work today. TOHY will bike to work this afternoon, and KyKy biked to her babysitting job. Maybe we can get rid of one of the vehicles.
