last day of school for all

so i wasn't able to get everyone together for a group shot, but here are pictures of everyone off to their last day of school.

once i had dropped the boys off (as early as humanly possible), i raced (as safely as possible) over to madelyn's school across town. the talent show started at 8:45 and preschool starts at 9am. thankfully, i knew that she was towards the end of the show.

the show was interesting. there was a lot of singing, piano and gymnastics and then some more unusual acts - math tricks, a president rap (by one of madelyn's friends who was hysterical) and drumming. and then it was time for madelyn:

she did a good job, but not as well as she did when she was practicing at home. holding the microphone limited her hand gestures and she raced through it. but the feedback from other parents and staff was great and she was thrilled with her performance.

but now it was time to race back over to get boys. here is manning with some of his preschool buds.

madelyn was disappointed that i wasn't staying for her field day, but a friend sent over this picture of the tug-a-war. she had a great time.

hooray for the end of another school year! love.
