last day of school

this is supposed to be my super-excited face but it kind of looks more creepy than happy!  oh, well!  

it's official......school's out for summer!  it's been a long year, and it's finally over.  we would have been finished last week, but we had so many snow days again this year that we had to make them up!  at least the last day of school is super kids day, or as i used to call it "back in the day", field day.

super kids day, or SKD, isn't like it was when i was a kid.  we had sack races, 3-legged races, softball throwing, jump-roping, etc.  our school today had inflatables {including a water slide}, frisbee golf and ice cream!  but the big thing on SKD is the fire truck.  as long as local firefighters aren't out on a call, they come to the school and hose down the 3rd through 5th graders!  it is quite a site!  it's amazing how far that hose can spray!!!  our playground turns into a muddy mess, the kids are shivering and soaking, but they absolutely love it!  then of course they like to chase their teachers so they can give them big hugs!  why aren't they that nice the rest of the year???  where are my hugs then? :)

quote of the day:                       

"You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go."
~Dr. Seuss
