Final Days of School

Friday was the last day of school.   That really hit me, as I was driving home from town on Friday. 
It hit me that we have a graduating Senior and a graduating Kindergartener.  Talk about emotional! 

Eric had taken the day off of work, so I had run in to get what would be the last bags of food that the school would provide for the kiddos.  I got two; one for Ramsey and one for Connor.  Lots of tasty vittles!

Three times per week, the school prepared two days' worth of food for students.   These prepared foods (turkey sandwiches, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, fresh veggies and fruits, milk, treats, etc) were amazing time-savers for me, working my full-time [ridiculously busy] job, trying to home-school, etc.  I was very appreciative getting these types of food bundles three times per week. 

 Ramsey had his very last Zoom meeting.  On the last day, all three of the Kindergarten classes came together for a final call, where they chatted a bit, but also played a scavenger hunt game.

As the kids said goodbye for the last time, I may have been a bit more mournful than Ramsey was.  I suppose it was just another day to him, but to me, it was as another chapter was ending, and a new one would be beginning.

Connor had finished his schoolwork at 2:55PM the afternoon before.  (It was due by 3:00 PM - just made it!)   His Friday was 100% free.  That day, his summer started and his high school career ended. 

During this time of COVID-19, many days seem to just meld together.   This quite momentous one nearly seemed to do the same.   The emotionalism of it was bittersweet.  We no longer have a senior and a Kindergartener.  We have a 1st Grader and a college Freshman!
