“Lucky rainbow” pancakes for breakfast:
Lu had “water day.”
6th Grade BBQ:
Yeah, I’m sure glad I know they worked their tails off this year to deserve non-stop parties the last day…
Lu’s darling kindergarten teacher gave her a DVD slide show of pictures from the whole year. She has watched it approximately 45 times. Love it.
Grace insisted on making some treats for her last-day-of-school party and to pass around to all the staff she loves so much who she will miss next year.
She was a little sentimental on her last day of elementary school. So was I. Every year they have a big assembly to honor the outgoing 6th graders.
And then they switch around all the grades to their new “positions” for the assemblies. The third-moving-to-fourth-graders get to move from sitting criss-cross-applesauce on the floor to the bleachers. Claire was a little excited about that.
And these girls were excited to be the head honchos heading out to Jr. High.
How did that happen so fast??? (We love their great teacher…who Max and Elle had as well back when they were “little.”)
After the assembly, per tradition, the sixth graders parade around the whole school giving high-fives to everyone on their way off to Jr. High. It always makes me a little emotional. Here’s Lu saying goodbye. 
She’s off to first grade. My baby. My friend threw a huge swim bash for all the sixth graders.
And then it was off into summer and 115 degrees. So there’s been a lot of the above going on since then!

I love your family! Es una familia muy feliz, unida, agradable… Ya casi no existen familias así !! Un ejemplo a seguir!

Oh, it's so strange to see non uniformed school children (we're big on uniforms in Australia). Love the rainbow pancakes, so simple. You make life look sunny and lovely. Your kids are so happy. And I'm not jealous at all (I have no kids, so no way to compare). Just enjoy the brightness in my days!
I agree with Sarah N about the uniform, I'm still I'm school myself (last year) but it would be so weird to not go to school in my white shirt, green jumper and skirt with penny loafers! They're big on uniforms here in Ireland too
I thought you would like to know that someone has been using the image of the rainbow pancakes on their Facebook page.

Uh how did you make those awsome rainbow pancakes? I love them!
Just stopping in from Oh.em.gee it's Nikkie – I can't wait to make rainbow pancakes for my boys! I'm always in the kitchen and this will be fun to do with them. We've made pumpkin pancakes before that were bright orange and they were a hit!
