No longer a first grader

Alyssa's last day of first grade was Thursday. She is truly the only little girl I know who cries on the last day of school. This just shows how much she loves school and what a great decision we made switching schools. Whew!

CCA put on a great last day of school for the kids and to top it off they had free dress day. What a treat! They had 8 different stations for grades K-8 to participate in. A few of the stations set up; a jumpy, water balloon toss, races, soccer with a huge soccer ball, all followed by a school-wide pizza party. So much fun! Can't believe we have a SECOND GRADER! Yikes!

I know she is going to be in second grade and all, but does that mean it's already time for her to tell me that no one understands her, when will I understand that she is old enough to do her own hair, immediately followed by what is your facebook password. Wow! I am not ready for the coming years!

Sebastian and I took Alyssa for a "date" day on her first day of summer to the Corvette Diner followed by shopping. We were on a hunt for a particular pair of tennis shoes. We hit up about 6 different stores before she found the "perfect" pair of shoes. I wonder who she takes after. Ha ha! We rounded the day out by seeing Shrek the Final Chapter at the drive-in. That's always an interesting experience. Jake was able to crawl around the car and watch his DVD player once he got bored with the movie. Definitely made for a more pleasant experience for all. We'll be heading back to the drive-in for Toy Story 3. This time I think we'll have to take the truck and camp out in the back. Exciting!
