Both kids had a "fun day" before the end of school. I am so thankful (and don't take it for granted) that I was able to be there for both of them. I've missed my fair share of events over the years, so I'm always over the moon when I get to be there with them!
First up was LL's Field Day. Her teacher texted me this before I was able to make it there - LL got an owl painted on her face.
I didn't know for sure if I was going to be able to make it for LL's Field Day or not, so I didn't say anything to her. I didn't want her to be disappointed if I wasn't there. That made it even better when I surprised her and showed up! She was completely not eexpecting it and so happy!
When I got there, she was participating in Tug-of-War. After that, she pretty much sat out every other event - haha.

3rd grade wasn't the best year for our girl. It wasn't a bad year, but it just didn't live up to some of the amazing years she's had in the past. All of her close friends have moved, so she struggled a little in the friendship department. We also had some academic struggles. She is a smart girl (who makes great grades), but she just had to spend some time really putting in a lot of effort in some areas. We're praying that 4th grade is a better year for her!

Cooper's fun day was his "water day". This fell during my post-planning, so I was able to be there for it. They have their water day at the local YMCA, so he and I headed there in the morning.
They always celebrate the summer birthdays during the water day, and Cooper was so happy to see his picture on the cake!
He also got a birthday crown to wear!
This is a picture of Cooper in his happy place: outside, playing in water, with his friends. It doesn't get much better than this for him!
The kids got to swim for about an hour, and then they had lunch/snack time.
We both were so happy that I got to come!
All the birthday kids stood up front for everyone to sing.

Cooper also didn't have the greatest year this year. He had quite a few struggles that we worked really hard over the course of the year to overcome. We're thankful that he gets the summer to relax, and then a new school in the fall to start Kindergarten at. Sometimes, the best thing for you is a fresh start!

Here's to a fun-filled summer with my babies!
