The girls and I did a week in Massachusetts, giving TCR some precious time alone, and me some extended family time. I think that was win-win.
Sunday. Gloucester for the 4th of July Party. No photo evidence that this happened. I fell into the tide pools and went swimming at the seaglass beach. All good. Flip flops gave me a blister between my toes. I survived.
Right, I know possums are not uncommon, but this poor girl looks old and creaky and I was afraid she was going to die in our yard. Worse, she might NOT die in our yard and just be very sick and dying in our yard.
L4 was going CRAZY with her in the yard (She started right under the deck, just a few feet from the house). She was taking her time, but within an hour she got across the yard, through the fence, and into the neighbor's yard. I can't see in there, so I don't know how she fared.
As a rising 6th grader, Q11 is leaving elementary school, and they had a big ceremony to mark the end of the year for the 5th graders and help them transition to middle school.
Q11 got the math, science, writing awards, as well as she was the only child to get all As all 4 terms. Way to go, Q!!
She looks very mature here ... maybe embarrassed at getting multiple awards? It would have embarrassed me, but maybe she can take it in stride.
Q and her friends were asked to say a few words about a couple of teachers. They did.
C12 was invited to the National Junior Honor Society last year and she declined the honor and I kind of maybe might have gotten a LITTLE bit annoyed at her.
She was invited again this year and she accepted the honor. We have a GREAT photo of M13 (standing the the blue and white stripes, second from the left) and Just below her with the glasses on and a big smile, is C12.
