End of the School Year

My sweet 8 year-old Tyler is done with second grade. How is that possible?!?! I got the pleasure

 of joining his class for the end of year party.

Party game...

Tyler and Mrs. Farrell (with her umbrella) :)

All the kids earned little awards. His was for outstanding performance in math. He thought it should have been for his sense of humor. :) The other moms who were there were very complimentary to Tyler, which always makes a Mom proud.

Since today was the last day of school, he brought home all of his school things. I enjoyed reading back through his journal. Lots of his entries were about our weekends, and I was tickled that nearly all of them started with what he had for breakfast on Saturday morning.

 This letter was kind of a surprise. I didn't know how he felt about Obama, that he wanted to be a paleontologist or what he thought about gun control. Interesting.
