Samantha's Kindergarten Graduation!!!

Today was Samantha's Kindergarten Graduation. Today was my baby's Kindergarten Graduation. Today was my last offspring's, Kindergarten Graduation. Has it hit me yet? I don't think so. As a Mama, this is such a bitter sweet milestone. My baby is growing up; and don't even get me started with my first born...going into THIRD GRADE!! What the frick?! Our children are growing up and getting smarter, bolder, more social, more adventurous, taller...all good things...but I see that this happens so very fast, right before my very eyes. Samantha's graduation was at 10:00am, and it was so cute. She only has eight students in her entire class...so the ceremony literally lasted 15-20 minutes. They sang a song, and read a poem; collected their diplomas; and then we all got to enjoy some of their classwork on display, and have some refreshments. It was very sweet, and Samantha felt very important, because she is! Tomorrow is Kent and Samantha's last day of school; and it will be a half day. The school is having a "field day;" and Ms. Paulette (the school's Secretary and nurse), called me this morning, to ask if I could volunteer with the field day. I said absolutely! That should be fun tomorrow. I also want to inform you all, that our son, Kent, won a brand new bike this morning. Two teachers stopped Jeff and I this morning, to inform us, that due to Kent doing so well with reading, and he earned the most points, he won a bike! Get out of here! How awesome is that?! The teachers were laughing , because they said Kent didn't know what to do with the news..." Like, really? I won a bike? How does that happen?' We are pretty proud of Kent too! That's an accomplishment!
