The first of his lasts

His last field day. His last day of music class. His last day at a school with a jungle gym. His last day with his dad for a principal. His last day in elementary school. His last day of innocence. Ok, that is probably a little extreme, but you get where I am going with this...

F is leaving elementary school friday and starting junior high next year. We had our first, wait for it...BAND meeting. He has to change for gym. He wants to take "zero" period (which is going to school BEFORE school really starts). Not sure what we are truly in for, but since he's excited, I guess we are too.



Last Friday was his last Field Day. It was so fun Jack was able to be his principal for his year of "lasts". Moment of silence for prepubescence please.


(ps-this is Jack competing in the obstacle course against a 6th grader. He won. Barely.)

Really? You had to say "prepubescence", what happened to "Tween"? ;) Sorry, some of us are not mature enough for the family life vocabulary.

How exciting. We can hardly believe that it has all gone by so quickly. So happy that we will be there is hear lots of after school reports.

I don't remember my principals ever dressing like that for my field day. They must think they have the coolest principal ever.

Awwwwwwwwww...it's the end of an era...It is exciting...but kind of sad, too.

Band moms, unite!!!! Oh, I think we are called, "Boosters"...

Jack is so awesome. Glad he won...even if the margin was small.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only Mom worried about "loss of innocence" on the first day of school next year!
