School's out.

I realize school has been out for a month now but I wanted to acknowledge

my children for their excellent efforts at yet another school year of

 addition,

 subtraction,

 multiplication,

 division,

 reading,

writing

 and beyond.

  Like WAY beyond.

 
 

Both of the boys were blessed with extraordinary teachers. 
Thank you Mrs. Bray and Miss Fischer for giving your all to my kids.
Although you will never be compensated appropriately enough monetarily for what you do,
please know the amount of gratitude that comes with the insufficient words
THANK YOU!!

In keeping with the educational theme, here is an Acrostic poem for each of my kiddos...

Diligent
Amicable
Valiant
Imaginative
Steadfast

Competitive
One of a kind
Obliging
Peppery
Exuberant
Remarkable

Maddison is no longer a "lower classman".

She joyfully exclaimed the minute her last final of her sophmore year was complete "I'm an upper classman!"

I don't like thinking about what that really means because I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for it.

But besides that, Maddison had a great year.  Anything she touches turns out pretty darn stinkin' fantastic!

But that's just her mother's humble opinion : )

Mindful
Attentive
Dedicated
Darling
Influential
Smiley
Organized (although this does not hold true when it comes to her bedroom)
Nice (such a tiny word that means so much)
