Kindergarten Graduation

Sammy has her kindergarten graduation tomorrow. They get caps and gowns and everything! The kids have learned a poem and a song to recite. Sammy's pretty pumped.

I've always sort of thought that kindergarten graduations were odd. I mean, why this grade but not say 2nd or 4th? should we do one every year? And its not like they are really going to flunk someone from kindergarten. I mean, extreme cases maybe, but I think pretty much every kid goes on to first grade. Not that I'm not proud of her or anything, but it seems silly. Still, the we get to see her in an adorable outfit and she gets to do her poem and all. Of course, Charlotte wants to be in the graduation now too. Thanks Southern Elementary!

Peter's missing the event. He's out of town for the annual ARML (Math league) competition. I got him a shirt for the trip. It says. "I was promised there would be math involved." Actually, originally it said "no math" but I covered up the word "no" with a smiley face patch. Perfect weekend for him to leave town too. (please read that with sarcasm) The girls are both in tumbling classes. Charlotte at 9 and Sammy at 10:15, with a 45 minute break in the middle. But this week they are doing pictures, so the girls have to be there 20 minutes early. Not that they EVER get pictures done before class. They wait until everyone shows up, realize other kids are getting pictures then cut class short and do them at the end. Sammy also has a birthday party to go to on Saturday. Then on sunday they have tumbling again, to make up for last week when tumbling was cancelled! At least Peter will be back on Sunday.
