Award's Day

Today was one of my most "looked forward" to days of the school year, Award's Day. It is so cute to see the little guys getting their awards. Gray, 2nd grade, was dancing and kissing his award. I remember when Zac did the same thing, such a long time ago. The only thing I hate about the day is that it is an indication that they have grown another year older. Autumn got A-B honor roll. We really didn't know if she had messed up at the end of the year bec. she didn't come home with an announcement that she was getting anything. David and I were standing in line waiting to go into the gym and thinking up punishments if she had a C on her report card. But lucky for Autumn we got a program and saw her name on the A/B list. Just for the record, we had thought of-- no internet for 4 1/2 weeks, no phone, and we would get the textbook and make her rework each chapter. TOUGH LOVE!! Oh, another good note... Jaymon the little boy that we had custody of, made 1st grade A Honor Roll, yeah! He is so stinking cute. Sometimes I wish we had of adopted Jaymon and Jasmine. But, of course, just starting a new job that year was soooo hard and we just felt that it was too hard have 5 kids and going back to work. I will always wonder if that was my calling and I missed it. Their cousion (sp) made A/B honor roll 5th grade and I am very proud of him bec. he has had the most horrible life. I checked all of the scholars out of school and took them to Chinese for lunch. Our family tradition.
I am glad summer is almost here. I am so torn about what to do. I asked the prin. where my kids go to school if he thought he would have something open. He doesn't think so??? This year has not been my best. I really missed my kids this year.
