School's Over!!!

And are our girls excited!  L's last day was Thursday and J's was Friday.  The 8th graders were a little teary-eyed when it hit them that they wouldn't be in the same class together next year.  One bad thing about private middle school -- they'll all be going to different high schools.  :-(

After work yesterday I helped decorate for grad night.  We're working together with 4 other high schools in the area.  Each school decorates a different area, then their kids get to use the whole building after graduation.  It'll be used five times this week.  L's school is first on Monday.  The whole building has a cruise ship theme.  We decorated the formal dining area and bathrooms.  Yes, even the bathrooms are decorated.  The boys bathroom in the main area looks like an engine room -- filled with gauges, etc.  There's also a spa, theater, dance floor, top deck (for Titanic-like photos, I'm sure), casino, and other show and game areas.  There will also be bounce houses & slides outside and they can use the bowling alley next door.  The party's from 11 pm to 5 am.  I would much rather set up than stay up all night & try to make it to another graduation the next day.

J's class divided up their school year and each student took a week to show appreciation to their teachers.  We had the last week of school so here are some of the things we made and sent for her teachers:

And we have a few more photos from Senior Ball last week.  Mitch's dad took these.  They call their first on their "Get Smart" photo.
