Liz took this creepy selfie with her friends (Anna and Calleigh)

End-of-school awards:

William was a Sight Word Hero... He was a little disgruntled about it, because he likes to read chapter books--not just sight words.

Ms. Scharf was a great teacher this year!

Ms. Gallegos was also a fantastic teacher. Emma received the Attentive Listener award.

Emma's class signed and sang a song for the parents. (Half the kids in Emma's class have communication and social challenges.)

Pictures with the outgoing middle school librarian, of whom Liz was a big fan.

Owen's birthday party in our backyard (19 kids, in addition to parents):













We kicked off the summer with a family planning meeting. Owen came up with some real gems for goals:
"Play board game * win board game * gloat smugly"

"Hike * ride bike * change my name to Mike"

Mom surprised the kids with a Super Mario watch party on the last day of school: ice balls, fire balls, princess peaches, mystery boxes, Yoshi eggs, piranha plants, etc.

We watched the new Super Mario movie
