Last Week of Kindergarten: Part 3

Friday was the last day of Kindergarten for Lincoln!  There were lots of fun activities planned all day.  The Moms got to meet at the playground and give the kiddos a pizza party, and it was so fun.  Thankfully, it wasn't wet or rainy!  The kids enjoyed pizza on blankets under a shade tree, and Lincoln had a sweet smile (with top snaggle-tooth!) of course. 
Most of the boys finished their pizza quickly and wanted to run wild on the playground.  Popsicles and crazy wild cheers for the last day of school!! 
The Greeson's were having a neighborhood block party on Friday night, and it was filled with fun friends for both kids and parents.  Lincoln has been on a past T-Ball team with West, and Claire is just about Beau's age (and they have baby Will), so we know them pretty well.  The Moms found themselves gathered in the kitchen with all of the potluck food for a while then moved it to the area the Dads had gathered in . . . lots of yummy food!  The kids took turns eating and playing, but Emily made sure she took a dinner break with Beau.   
(Truth:  Lincoln and Beau had Chick-fil-A and fruit before we went to the party because this Mommy knew they would be too busy playing to eat much dinner.  Beau managed one slice of pizza and a few strawberries, but Lincoln was too busy with friends to bother with food!  The Greeson's backyard was filled with kiddos! 
The girls raided Claire's dress-up closet for a while and numerous princesses were running round the house like crazy!  The boys caught on and donned various Superhero costumes for a while.  Late in the evening, Beau discovered a knight costume and was in love! 
What a fun day filled with school and neighborhood friends!  We are so blessed to live in a neighborhood where we all look out for each other, enjoy each other's company, and create a relationship of parents and kids having fun together.  Does summer officially start when school is out?  We hope so because we are ready!
