Tonight we announced that Isaac was officially finished with kindergarten. We told Isaac that he could finish his last lesson, and then we would go out for ice cream to celebrate. He got SO excited that he ran back to our laundry room (where we keep all of our school stuff stored) to grab his workbook. I thought I heard crying, so Jay ran back to investigate: Isaac was sobbing. When Jay asked him what was wrong, Isaac said, "I'm just so excited." Jay and I were cracking up. We think that he was thankful to be finished with kindergarten (Learning to read, write and do math is tough!!!!) and overwhelmed by the thought of getting ice cream. Ha! By the way, we should have finished kindergarten a long time ago, but we didn't start until late September, and we took LOTS of breaks along the way. :)
an emotional moment
joy from finishing his test
proud
The best day ever!
Josiah learned a lot this year, too. He deserved a treat for playing by himself during school this year, for learning lots of new things, and keeping his sister entertained!
Olivia deserved a treat for being so cute. :)
Foosball!
I can't believe he'll be a first grader!!!
the best daddy...
ahhhh...
Look at all of the flavors!!!

Celebration Station. MMMMM...I love this place!!!
And at the end of it all, Isaac decided to color a picture for me because "You are the best teacher I've ever had!"
Isaac, I am so proud of you. I have loved teaching you this year and couldn't think of a better way to spend my time. You are such a good learner and watching the light bulb go off when you learn something new is priceless. From reading your first sentence, to reading your final kindergarten book (Balto), you have continued to amaze me and make me so proud to be your mom. I love you so much and can't wait to teach you more! You are a sweet boy with a tender heart, and I know you will be a great man one day like your daddy. Happy Kindergarten Graduation, Isaac!!!!

I read this blog to Buff and he laughed and laughed. And then he said, "We have the cutest grandkids. They are such great parents!"
I loved how he cried because he was just so excited! You can see that look on his face!
