Only one half of a day of second grade left. Can you believe it?! This year has flown by and I know they're only going to go faster as this little boy continues to get older.
This is Jake in his desk during his end of the year class party that Carter and I went to today. I took one of him here the first day of school too and boy, he looks older!
Jake and his awesome teacher, Mrs. Downey. He enjoyed her so much and she told me the feeling was mutual. He's learned a lot of really great things from her this year and he is more than ready for the big 3rd grade.
Mrs. Downey and her Downtown Downey Doers. They all gave her one stem of flowers while she sat and held the vase. She loves flowers and was touched, even though one of the boys blurted out the surprise. They also gave her a wall hanging that had a sweet saying about teachers on the front and the kids had all signed the back.We are so proud of Jake and all his hard work - especially the great example he is to his friends and to his little brothers. Hard to believe we'll have another kindergartener at Anthem School come August and thanks to Jake, he is nothing but excited about school. Now Jake's headed for the big-time - letter grades and all!
Yesterday, Dylan the business man decided he wanted to do a lemonade stand. He got the idea early in the morning but I convinced him that we should wait until after school so we could have more customers. Here he is waiting patiently for school to get out.
Ugh, it's a little hot out. But it is worth it!! On top of the cooler, we had a sign that said "Lemonade 25 cents" and inside is the pitcher of lemonade, ice and plastic cups. He dutifully asked everyone who walked by, "Hi there! Would you like to buy some lemonade?"
Carter sampling the goods and proclaiming it tasty!
Dylan made a not-too-shabby $2.75 but promptly spent $1 of it when the ice cream truck came down our street. I'm sorry, Dyl but I think you inherited your inability to save from me.

Are you ready for third grade? Multiplication... cursive... division? My-oh-my we have have a learning curve year here! I love the lemonade stand! And why not spend it all on the ice cream man, right?! Have you guys been hit with the triple digit weather there? It is 52 degrees here right now! I am bundled up in my blanket!
I am so glad school is out! I love summer. Congrats to Jake on a great year! I think he's going to love 3rd grade. In fact, I think 3rd was my favorite!
Tell Dylan to call us next time... we'd love to buy some of his lemonade! Yum!
I can't believe how big Jake is and that school is already out. I guess you don't have "snow days" to make up for like they do out here. I love the idea of the Lemonade stand! I totally remember doing that as a kid but never making any money. He made out pretty well! Good job Dyl! Did Carter have to pay for his cup?
Oh cute is Jake! He is by far the most handsome in his class! I love seeing those class pictures I always think they are hilarious. Why does Dyaln have to be so cute! I love that he has no shame talking to people let alone asking them for lemonade. At least he got something good with his money! Nice work! See you soon!

He was so cute playing with the dog..."Here boy." Your boys are the cutest, makes me think I could do boys if we ever have more kids. Still miss you as my VT.
