For that special someone....our teacher!

So, tomorrow is Killian's last day of school. I have very mixed emotions about this! Anywho, I was at a total loss as of what to get her because she truly has been an awesome person in his life for the past 10 months! We decided that Killian will give her an apple (he's been begging me for MONTHS to be able to do that!) and a framed pic of himself with her at the graduation ceremony (thanks Heather!! lol) and tomorrow I will make a mad dash to Hallmark to check out thier selection of fun stuff and if I'm unable to set on anything we'll get her a Barnes and Noble gift card. We'll see what happens! Anyways, Heather wanted a pic of the candy poster and since my camera is in Connor's room I'm not taking the risk and waking him up, I'll post it tomorrow. But this is what is says (and all the words in " " are candy bars that are glued to the board):

Mrs. Blakey,
Thanks for going to "Xtremes" to make sure I'm not an "Airhead(s)"!! You really are a "Life Saver(s)"! You've been a great teacher and even though there were a lot of "Snickers", you never lost your cool and became a "Hot Tamale(s)" Next year I hope you "Skor" a huge "Payday"! I love you "Mounds"!


Eh, it's the best I could come up with! I hope she likes it, and if not at least Killian had fun picking out the candy! I guess I better go, I have lots and lots to do tomorrow!

Graduate!

It's official! Killian has successfully completed Kindergarten, as of about 10 hours ago. There ceremony was adorable! They sang 3 songs, said the Pledge of Allegiance, immediately followed by the Texas Flag Pledge. They all looked so handsome and cute! It was very fun and exciting! A few minor mishaps did take place though. Elliott decided it would be a good idea to let Connor play with my camera, and in an instant he completely broke it! It still takes pictures but the LED screen is 100% busted. There is a big white part and a cracked looking thing down the middle and that's it. Then the BRAND NEW batteries I put in Elliott's camera died after I recorded one song! I couldn't believe it! It made me so mad!! And last, but not least, Mrs. Blakey started bawling while she was calling the kids names. She had to stop for a minute to compose herself. It was so SAD! That, mixed with Kennedy's Grandmother bawling right beside me, totally made me start tearing up. I didn't think I would cry but this was way harder to take than the first day of school! Bonuse excitement, I got Connor's new stroller and the gymboree stuff in the mail today! I also got the baby blanket I ordered for my cousin's gift! It's really adorable. I WANT A GIRL! Seriously! Well, that's pretty much it. I did manage to get a couple of good pics of Killian.

New news....maybe?

So, a lot of things are happening around the Shumer household. Elliott got a motorcycle, which makes him happy...Him being the opperative word. I'm not too thrilled about it, but what can ya do? Killian is almost done with Kindergarten! He has his "Completion Ceremony" (they refuse to call it a graduation, lmao) the day after tomorrow and Friday is his final day. I must say this makes me terribly sad. I can't believe how fast it went by! I also can't believe how much he has learned and grown. Both mentally and physically! He isn't too much bigger than when he started, but he's definitely moving up in clothing sizes a little, and he also just looks like a kid, not a toddler but a real life big kid. :( Where did my baby go??? He has his second loose tooth that I imagine will be gone within a week or two. He's registered in tackle football! I know I get the "what the hell is wrong with you?" look (and occasionally the statement as well!) everytime I say that, but I am so EXCITED about that! And so is he. He absolutely will not stop talking about it. I'm not quite sure if he knows what he's in for, but he has seen a couple of practices (my cousin's 8 year old was in it) so he has to have a bit of an idea. Also, next week will be our start of our summer traveling. We did already go to San Antonio, but I wouldn't exactly call that traveling...We're headed to Oklahoma around the 10th and sometime that same week we will be going to Branson, MS, then back to Oklahoma for a little while. We'll probably be there about 2 weeks or so, my cousin is having a baby shower around the 27th, so we'll be there at least that long. I can't wait to go! I love seeing family, it's just the most awesome feeling in the world. Anywho, that's about it for now. I'll probably do one more post w/ pics from the kiddo's thing Wed. morning and then I probably will be on hiatus until we get home. I hope everyone is doing great!
