Hope has officially graduated from High School!! Whoot whoot!
Friday night we got things together for the weekend... Kayson had a birthday party to go to; Cora, Ryan and I grabbed supper... then continued to get prepped/packed for the weekend. We were able to get the kids to bed at a decent time, which was good... K was a bear following his busy day, his celebration at school and then a birthday party. Wow - that might have been over load for him.
Saturday morning we got up... finished getting stuff packed up. Then Ryan picked up the 6 large boxes of Scratch cupcakes for Hope's graduation open house. Once he got home... we were off. We did have to take two vehicles, which was interesting... I don't think we've ever had to do that. The kids wanted to ride with Ryan. Fine by me. :) We got up to Clarion - had a quick lunch, then before we knew it, it was time for the Open House to begin. Trish and Greg, and Hope worked so hard to decorate the church fellowship hall and plan so perfectly for the celebration. It was awesome!! Hope had a great turnout, and we got to see some old friends... and family too. It was really a very nice day. But not going to lie - I was exhausted (and I didn't even do anything!) - Hope was so tired!
Following the Open House, and cleaning up... the four of us (along with my parents) went to Jill and Jeff's... we grilled for supper, and just let the kids play. They had a great time. Then it was time for bed - and unfortunately, both kids were completely wound tight - and didn't get to bed til after 10. SAD FACE.
This morning was an early morning for the family. We got ready and headed to church. The kids did pretty well during church, then we ordered pizza for lunch, as we needed something quick and easy. And yet, another couple hours flew by... and we were at the HS for commencement. It was a very nice ceremony... we are so proud of Hope. She made the top 10 students (by GPA), which was awesome!!! Cora took a little snooze during the commencement, which was nice. She was so tired.
And now... we are home. Kayson had baseball practice tonight, which I will not be surprised if he has some meltdowns tonight, he's going to be so wiped out.
Here are some pictures from the weekend. What great memories for Hope.
