Last day of summer!

School for E starts tomorrow. So we had a super busy day of fun. After dropping Calvin off she came with me to help set up for the class list posting social for the afternoon (setting up tables in 80 degree weather at 7:45am is preferable to doing it in 100 degree weather). She met a couple new friends (kids of fellow PTA board parents). There was a funny interaction where one mom asked her 2nd grader and Ellen if they knew each other. Ellie shook her head no but the little boy said, "yeah she was in kindergarten last year I recognize her". So Ellie then looked at me with a little embarrassment and shock. She then hid behind me and didn't talk to anyone else.

Then she helped me with some errands including going to the post office and bank.

Then we headed to a her friends house for some lunch and swimming. The girls really like hanging out and are bummed they go to different schools. It was funny to watch them play and chat about 1st grade together.







We then went from the pool to the class list posting social where Ellie again helped me do some final setup and helped me co-staff the school logo gear booth. And then she saw some friends and they ran off to check the class lists. Ellie was a little bummed not to have all her friends in her class but there is a good group of kids in her class and all her really close friends do Learns after school with her.

There was shaved ice, friends, running, and excitement. The social was a major success (and we sold as much logo gear today as we did all of last year!).
