Last Day of School

It seems hard to believe that the school year is over. For so long, there were so many things to take care of each day -- making sure there was something to send for lunch, signing permission slips, sending in lunch money, signing homework books and tests, field trips, and getting HUGE instruments to school. Yesterday, they went for half a day and did not need to take anything but themselves. Now we have some time to relax, some time to fight over the computer, the tv, the video games, and everything else. Today went pretty smoothly with very little fighting which was nice for me. Hopefully things will continue to go well, although it was about 2 o'clock this afternoon when Ben had finally become bored. We have next week off, then summer school starts -- basketball for Ben, and art and music lessons for Esther.
