The Last of the Last

The end of the school year looked a bit different this year, as Zoe got done with official homeschooling co-op a few weeks prior to her siblings, which she didn't mind at all.  We had to take some pictures to document!
A peep back at her first day!
Zoe wanted to grab some boba tea to commemorate this last day!  Sure proud of you kiddo for rocking out this homeschool year (even if you really didn't want too).
From the first day (they all started on the same day)....
to the last for these two!
Shiloh's first day....
and last!  She has outgrown her shorts and shoes (now wearing a women's size 10 shoe).
Ezra's first day....
and last, where his clothes still fit.
Picking them up for carline, Shiloh popped in with a sucker in her mouth and a huge box to put in the trunk, full of things that were no longer needed at school (nor really needed at our house).
Then there was hugs one last time! (Also, caught in the picture, Zoe's 5th grade teacher running to the car to give her a hug as well.)
These teachers are amazing and so appreciated during all the challenges this year!
It gets me every year when we drive away on that last day and we see all the teachers that have poured so much love and heart into our kids (and countless other).  So thankful and filled with love and sadness for the season ending (I have learned to just pull over somewhere close to let the tears dry up afterward, so that I can see to drive). This year seemed to be even more compounded saying a final good-bye to the school that took care of my babies for the past 8 years.  We will be venturing to a new charter school next year but a piece of my heart will always be left behind here!

We had the Russells with us for the afternoon.  The first stop, was picking up some new uniforms for my kids for the next school year (it happened to have to be this same day).
A much more fun outing to get an ice cream treat after lunch.
Shiloh ended up asking for ALLLL the toppings, except nuts, which led to a very unusual mixture for my now middle schooler!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the neighbors headed for the lake that night, and offered for the kids to go with them, they were excited to take on the opportunity!
Then a second dinner of tacos afterwards at their house.
It was one full and fantastic day full of all the feels to kick off summer!
