monkey's last day

Kathryn has yet to meet an activity she doesn't thoroughly enjoy.  She looks forward to every swim lesson, dance class, school day... but as of right now, gymnastics (or fynnastics, combo of fantastic gymnastics, as she calls it) is her absolute FAVORITE! It might just be that it is HER thing (Quinn wasn't too fond of it so she hasn't signed up again) or it might be that she is really good at it, or maybe it has something to do with the sparkly leotard, but I'm guessing it is a combination of all of the above.  

On the last day of class, Mommies (and siblings) are allowed to watch.  School was out at this point, so I was lucky enough to have our very own videographer attend with me.  

Here are the pictures I took and at the end, I'll add a link to Quinn's video-- she filmed it all by herself and took great pride in running after her sister, making sure she documented every step.  Wonder where she got that from??!

Thanks for the video Quinnie Quinn, well done!!

Great job KK, we are so proud of you!! Now, we just need to get through the summer so you can start classes again-- just hope our house holds up, because we all know how hard it is for you to resist "practicing" every chance you can get!  

finishing up spring & school

what a busy spring we have had!! here are some of the things we have been up to

mom's moments with Kathryn's class

"i love mom & she loves me" song

mom's moments at Quinn's class.. and the start to allergy season ;( thankfully, it hasn't been as bad this year.  fingers crossed it keeps up this way!

Quinn's spring sing

here is a youtube clip of their songs

Quinn's class had caterpillars this year, they got to see them turn into the cocoons and then BEAUTIFUL butterflies!! and right after spring sing, they let the butterflies fly free.  What a sweet way to mark the end of the school year!

had to take a picture of these sweet girls, they insisted on walking out of class to the cars, hand in hand, just about every day this school year! so sad we won't be in class together next year but excited we have all summer to play!!

what a GREAT school year we had! Even now, looking back at the pictures of the girls with their teachers, I get a little misty thinking about how blessed we are to belong to such a great school-- with sweet, loving teachers & friends ;) but now, it is just about time for summer!! next up-- Kathryn's gymnastics "graduation" & dance recitals, and then we are home-free for lots of play & summer fun!!
