Pirate day!

Miss Emma was VERY excited for Pirate day at school.

She reminded me last night of the theme. We gathered what we had. I may or may not have stayed up really late to make Emma and Thomas some felt hooks. :)

I've been meaning to finish them for a while so I figured, why not now.

She was so excited to dress up this morning.

She even said, "If I dress like the pirate all day, maybe I'll turn into one"....

Then she went on to say, "If I don't become the other things I want to be when I grow up, I want to be a pirate." :)

Sure love her.

 Each Friday she gets to ride to the bus stop on the A.T.V. if she is on time to the bus every day that week. It's one of her favorite times of the week.

I can't believe it's already the end of the school year. Where did the time go?

It's definitely bittersweet. I am having a hard time with Emma going to second grade next year. I was still trying to get used to her being in first grade and now it's coming to an end. 

She's had a WONDERFUL teacher and year. It was a leap of faith having her skip Kindergarten, but I'm glad we did. She still remains to be at the top of her class in reading and math. 

Her teacher, Miss Hull reports to me often at how well she does academically and socially in her class. She really is everyone's friend. We're proud of her.
