* Today was Squish's promotion ceremony and both kids' official last day of school. *sigh*
* Wednesday is dance practice
* Thursday is recital rehearsal--I'm a backstage volunteer and, when he gets back from his trip, so is Mate.
* Also a dentist appointment.
* This weekend is Sac Pride--I'll be there with the QSAFC
* Also this weekend we need to get costumes.
* Next week is recital rehearsal, followed by recital.
* I have a hard deadline on the 15th--right before recital!
* I promised the kids there'd be mani-pedis. Yes. Three of the four get a summer mani-pedi. I don't know how this started but I'm pretty sure it's my fault.

*whew*
So, THOSE are the summer crazies.
And that said, back to the promotion ceremony--
A. They had a photo montage showing pictures of the kids as Kindergartners--when I first volunteered at the school--and then showing them now. I saw Squish's little face with her bright red hair when she was a baby and burst into tears. I was not prepared.
B. The teacher was announcing awards, and she said, "This is the Socrates award--it's for critical thinking!" and I turned to Chicken and said, "Your brother got this award when he graduated three years ago!"
And then they called Squish's name, and Chicken and I were both "Ooooohhh!!!"
The teacher said, "We got the plaque for the office and for a minute, I thought they'd made a terrible typo, until I realized that the name was for 2015. Somebody else had to tell me she had a brother--what was his name again?" And what followed was a hilarious five minutes in which Squish tried to explain what her brother's name was, because it was on the plaque near hers.
Anyway--I am apparently raising critically thinking human beings, and I am proud.
C. ZoomBoy went to school in Star Wars Pajamas. Nobody noticed, because apparently that was sort of par for the course.
I said critically thinking--not suave and debonair.
Anyway-- it was a good day, and now? To try to make that deadline!
