Butler Family News: Last Day of School

The girls had their last day of school a week ago today. It's always such a bittersweet day. I'm excited to have a schedule-free summer and enjoy playing together but they love school, their teachers, and their friends. Although I'm pretty sure I have a harder time with the last day than Kate and Maggie do!:)

This year was a little tougher for me because it was Kate's last year at Asbury before she heads to her "big girl" school next year. She's been at Asbury for 3 years, has had the best teachers each year, made lots of great friends, and plus it's our home church so she thinks she's kinda a "big deal" around there because she knows so many people and they know her!! The good news for me is that Mags is headed back again next year and baby #3 will also be at Asbury at some point so we're not finished there yet.

Kate's class had a little party the Friday before school got out complete with a couple of songs, popsicles, and bubbles...inside because the weather wasn't cooperating. It was fun to see how much they've learned over the course of the year and also see the great friendships they've formed.

is now 4 since they sang "Happy birthday" to her!:)

Maggie's class didn't have a party but she did get to eat doughnuts on the last day so that was fun. And of course she has no clue that we're on summer vacation...she wakes up some mornings asking about Miss Alma and Miss Veronica. Mags also had a great year. She is counting to 10 and working on her ABC's. It's hard to believe that she's old enough to know that kind of stuff!
