Moving Up Day at School

 2nd post of the day-Ashley with her best buddy Hannah for the last time before we leave for the summer.

Sorry these pictures are dark-Ashley, Hannah, and David decided that we should sit up on the top row of the bleachers far away from the action.

They man standing in the white shirt is Ryan's teacher with his class

 Scott's class is over on the far right side of the gym

 The administrators all swaying together like the Seniors do during the singing of the Brent School song.

 Parents all taking movies

 The seniors shoot off confetti!

 Ryan and his great teacher!

 Scott with his class and his teacher

 Here are the 4 of us just before leaving Scott's class

 Then we picked up Greg and went to the mall for a celebration of birthdays, end of school, and the boys terrific grades on report cards.  Scott gave 7 As and 2 Bs and Ryan got almost all 4s on his subject area checklists. 



We ate lunch at McDonalds mostly.  Greg went to Wendy's and sheepishly came back admitting that when he walked to the counter they looked at him and said "mayonnaise and mustard right?"  He really does not eat out often at lunch but it cracked me up that the Wendy's people know what he likes on his hamburger when Greg OFTEN makes fun of me and the kids for how we stand out so much here and I readily admit that we do.  The ladies at S and R (our version of Sam's) know Ashley by name and ask me about her when I go in there by myself.  Greg just thought he was keeping a low profile by himself but he was WRONG!

After some debate about what treat to have, we went downstairs to Dairy Queen and ordered blizzards.  Ashley's is strawberry oreo, Greg's is chocolate chip-the same since we went to DQ in college after Baptist Student Union meetings on Tuesday night, and the boys get Kit Kat.

 They actually serve them upside down and the shirts say "Served Upside Down or it's free"

 It was a great way to end the school year!  I am just as glad or more so than the kids that it is "summertime" now-though it always feels like summer here to me!
